NIROX has a range of events, exhibitions, concerts, talks, and workshops available during the year.
CURRENT EXHIBITIONS
Musée De La Bête
Farieda Nazier
The Cool Room
french for “Museum of the Beast”) is a growing body of work that explores museumification and its longstanding effects on the contemporaneous gaze. It is a series of responsive interventions, the first of which is titled On Mapping Bodily Territories and is hosted by Nirox Sculpture Park. It aims to trouble and (re) politicise the cartographic gaze, which is still used as a tool of violent conquest.
LOVE DEFAULT
Sophia Van Wyk
The Covered Space
Supported by the Claire & Edoardo Villa Will Trust, the exhibition explores the complex range of learned behaviours we perform in our relationship with intimacy, love, shame, dysfunction and trauma.
SMALL THINGS
Group Show
Villa-Legodi Centre for Sculpture
The exhibition includes a range of models, The exhibition includes a range of models, maquettes, experiments,
and artworks which have led, or will lead, to largescale versions in the park.
At its heart is a curiosity about how different artists approach the transition from a model or maquette to realising larger work. For example, how do artists visualise their ideas, make informed decisions about the kinds of materials they want to use, or test the structural integrity of their work? What sort of changes can one anticipate in the process, and how important is it for artists to remain responsive to the site or context of exhibition, especially when exhibiting outdoors, in a less controlled environment? How important is it today, with the advent of 3D digital technologies, to be able to experiment materially, and what sort of consequences might the use of such digital renders have on the physical outcome?
Included on exhibition are works by Beth Diane Armstrong, Joni Brenner, Marco Cianfanelli, Richard John Forbes, Dean Hutton, Ebru Kurbak, Michele Mathison, Nandipha Mntambo, Farieda Nazier, Brett Rubin, and Sophia van Wyk
CONCERTS
CONCERT FOR LOVE
NIROX Sculpture Park
Sunday, 16 February
The Concert for Love explores the profound relationship between love and music,
delving into how the two forces intertwine to shape emotional landscapes.
Love, in its many forms, offers a deep reservoir of inspiration for musical expression,
and this performance reflects that complexity through a carefully curated blend of original compositions and cover songs.
