Weird, Wonderful, Quirky and Peculiar
Weird, ‘Wonderful’, Quirky & Peculiar explores the delightfully strange through Salvador Dalí’s Ten Recipes for Immortality alongside works that embrace the surreal, obscure, and delightfully odd. From asemic texts and unreadable books to pigeon photography and emotional maps, artists play with the form and function of the book to reveal strange and personal views of the world.

Opening Soon: Serge Nitegeka: Black Subjects
Serge Alain Nitegeka presents Black Subjects at Wits Art Museum, his first institutional solo show in Johannesburg. Nitegeka returns to his alma mater, where as a student, his studio was in a space above the central gallery, now repurposed into offices. For Black Subjects, he stages a monumental sculptural intervention almost directly below this formative location, re-engaging with an institution that has been instrumental in his practice and thinking over two decades.
