LONDON.- Goodman Gallery opened its virtual doors across their locations in South Africa and the United Kingdom to bring you enhanced digital programming replete with enriched experiences of gallery exhibitions, weekly bespoke online viewing rooms, Instagram LIVE takeovers and an online film festival.
First, Goodman Gallery invites you to explore their new digital platform, where they are launching two exhibitions curated for dynamic online viewing:
A Golden Spike takes its cue from the powerful knock-on effect of reduced travel emissions on the environment while over a quarter of the world population lives in lockdown. The exhibition challenges the idea that nature can be taken for granted and treated as a mere backdrop to our lives. It features important work by the 2020 Hasselblad Prize winner Alfredo Jaar alongside award-winning artist Kapwani Kiwanga and emerging talents Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, Tabita Rezaire and Nolan Oswald Dennis, among others.
