Consisting of photographs, drawings, maquettes, sculptures, and installations, ‘TO LET’ is an open investigation that uses the physicality of space to engage and implicate the people who will encounter it. Zeitz MOCAA Silo District, V&A Waterfront, South Arm Road, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa. Runs through Feb. 25, 2024.
Exhibition Description
"Consisting of photographs, drawings, maquettes, sculptures, and installations, ‘TO LET’ is an open investigation that uses the physicality of space to engage and implicate the people who will encounter it. The artist questions the ways in which architecture encourages a particular performance from the people living, working and playing in and around it. The artist will create “movable platforms” – structures that will have varying purposes, inspired by the corner stores, vendors, and people in his local community. In line with the program’s vision as an exploratory space, Mkonto plans to collaborate with the vibrant community of artists and creatives who have been part of his career." -Press Release
