WINTER SHOW MMXI, Cape Town, 2011

More about the artists on show:

Niklas Zimmer presents ‘Surface Tension’, a material product from an ongoing multi-media collaboration between himself and Michaelis MFA student Bryony Purvis. The images address the power to capture, and the power to perform. Their breathless ambience betrays a tension between conflicting desires: the desire to maintain the ‘self’ and the desire to break free from it. Set in a strange and silent terrain, ‘Surface Tension’ captures the agency and the vulnerability of both viewer and subject.

Dale Yudelman, well known for his award-winning and serial convention-flouting style, presents images from his ongoing series ‘In A City’. This is a haunting and moving biography of urban experience – bringing to life the many shades of emotional architecture within an active metropolis. The works explore the peripheral spaces, beyond architecture and the formal structures of functionality.

Les Goodman who returns to MUSEUM after travelling to South East Asia earlier in the year, with a series of black and white images that document her experience of the swarming, sweltering Asian metropoles. Executed in her characteristically painterly style, ‘Indochine’ is a truly original collection of evocatively textured and masterfully composed photographic images.

Dylan Culhane - ‘Transcendental Wayfaring’ is the latest body of Dylan Culhane’s work. The collection on show will concurrently be exhibited in London and Berlin in June/July, but a selection of 12 photographs from the greater series have been reserved exclusively for the MUSEUM WINTER MMXI show. Combining vistas of the Klein Karoo, Mother City and Eastern Cape coastline with psychedelic filters and paint effects that emulate the decay of memory, Culhane uses bygone multiple exposure techniques on film to induce a new vision of the South African landscape and mentality.

Roger Horrocks, one of the country’s most accomplished underwater photographers, deviates from the crystalline shades of oceanic blue and aqua and dips his lens beneath the rivers and swamps of the Okavango to capture vibrant images of primordial plant life below the surface. Presented as large format C-prints, these arresting photographs draw the viewer deep into the countless contortions, swirls and surreal hues that jostle in the aquatic aether.
