All that glitters

Photo: Hobbs’ exhibition explores how we interpret the space in the City.

Hobbs experiments with materials including lead, copper and pyrite, in his quest to interpret the fabric of the city as a vulnerable medium, susceptible to radical transformation, in turn creating the potential for new forms and encounters.

The shroud of projected negativity that envelopes so many seemingly aggressive cities invariably prevents its users and visitors from seeing particular and precise beauties, hence interventionist methods are often required in the process of re-seeing such spaces.

Fool’s Gold submits a number of propositions and findings on this unwelcoming city with a view to repositioning the audience’s interpretation of it.

The exhibition opens on Thursday, 12 August at 6.30pm, and runs until 25 September. The gallery is at 140 Jan Smuts Avenue, Parkwood.
