With contemporary exhibition and project spaces in Cape Town’s CBD and Parkhurst, Johannesburg, as well as its inspired collaborations, Kalashnikovv Gallery has forged an alternative to the traditional “white cube” gallery system.
The gallery is using 100% Design Africa as a springboard to launch its “Objects” to members of the trade and the public for the first time. The concept is about showcasing and selling collectable, one-of-a-kind works that bridge the gap between design and art and the intersection between craft and art, with a focus on contemporary ceramics. Among the featured artists are Annegret Affolderbach, Boemo Diale, Justin Brett, Lezanne Viviers, and Yolanda Mazwana.
“We are delighted to be part of 100% Design Africa for the very first time through this special partnership with Kalishnikovv Gallery,” said Business Day Wanted editor-in-chief Siphiwe Mpye. “We have always admired the stellar work the gallery does, especially in profiling young artists. Additionally, it is a coup for us to be doing this in association with the superb team at Tonic Design.”
