Lungiswa Gqunta - Sleeping Pool, 2017 Two days ago finished "Poolside Conversations" at @kelderprojects featuring this gorgeous installation (and video) by @lungiswa_gqunta In Poolside Conversations Gqunta invites us to reconsider the suburban garden as a space reserved for leisure activities as experienced by the privileged – a private space reserved for the landowner. Through her practice she seeks to disturb these spaces of privilege and highlight the structures of colonialism that are still in place today. Central to the installation is the notion of the swimming pool – a common design element found in the suburban gardens of South Africa and a visceral symbol of privilege. In a country where basic resources such as water are increasingly rare it epitomises the luxuries afforded to the few and in effect becomes a racialized signifier of wealth. http://kelderprojects.com/work/poolside-conversations #contemporaryafricanart #lungiswagqunta #officinedellimmagine #southafricanart #southafricanartist #istanbulbienali #istanbulbiennial #emergingartist #africanartist #artwork #installation #contemporaryart #africanart #galatagreekprimaryschool #istanbulbienali2017 #galatarumokulu #iyibirkomşu #amazingwork #whatiftheworld #zeitz #artsy #kelderprojects #poolsideconversations #sleepingpool (presso London, United Kingdom)
