About
Nachum's Coat, Neville Gabie's third solo exhibition at the gallery, will comprise recent works made in the UK and South Africa, as well as historic works made soon after the first democratic elections in South Africa. Covering a period of over twenty-five years, the exhibition will shed light upon the personal and autobiographical side of Gabie's well established practice characterised by public, socially engaged commissions.
Including a mix of film-based performance, photographic works, drawings and archival collections, the exhibition will present Gabie's recent studio practice featuring Experiments in Black and White XXX - Part 2, developed from a research project with UCL into the impact of Motor Neurone Disease. Through Mrs Begum's experience, the work invites the viewer to think about one's inherent vulnerability and frailty.
Mapping the artist's body in space, the recent drawings made with black biro pens and beeswax will further reveal both a physical and cosmic materiality, evoking 'inward and outward looking into a largely unknown territory or space'.
A leaflet featuring commissioned writings by independent curator and writer Tessa Jackson, and artist and educator Mark Dunhill, will be available during the exhibition.
