Convoluted Involvement is ABSA L’Atelier Award 2007 winner Pierre Fouché’s second solo exhibition at Bell-Roberts Gallery. The exhibition is the result of 6 months spent at the Cité Internationale des Arts. In this exhibition, Fouché manipulates source photographs into different entities altogether via predominantly needlecraft techniques – a technique he first introduced in 2006′s The Distance Between Us. This time around the artist limits the media he uses to black and white only, allowing the artist to view the source images beyond the confines of the keyhole, to inscribe himself onto them in personal yet respectfully meditative, non-vindictive terms, and thus to see them beyond the personally obvious.
The exhibition runs from 29 October until 28 November 2008.
Gallery hours: Monday – Friday 8.30am – 5.30pm, Saturday 10am – 2pm
