THE GALLERY PRESENTS A NEW EXHIBITION TITLED: PERIPHERY
OFFICIALLY OPENING ON 3 APRIL AND RUNNING UNTILL THE 31ST OF MAY.
The Gallery is proud to present Periphery, an intriguing new exhibition that encourages viewers to venture into the uncharted territories of perception. Periphery features a dynamic collection of works by emerging and established artists whose practices question, redefine, and blur the lines between the center and the edges of perception, identity, and society.
Curated by Sarah O’Reilly, Periphery examines the concept of boundaries—both literal and metaphorical and brings together a diverse group of artists working across various media. The works presented examine the often overlooked, the fringe elements of human experience, and the quiet spaces at the edge of our awareness. “There is so much that exists within the periphery, it isn’t just an afterthought—it’s a space full of potential, energy, and transformation,” said Sarah O’Reilly, the curator of the exhibition. “In our world, what happens on the margins can often have profound consequences for what lies at the center. This exhibition calls for viewers to be cognisant of what takes place on the periphery of their awareness, what happens when we bring this to the fore to be seen and heard?”
Periphery will official open on 3 April at 6pm where guests will have the opportunity to meet some of the featured artists and engage with the thought-provoking works in a vibrant and immersive setting. The reception is free and open to the public, and all are invited to attend. There will also be the exciting addition of a live art performance by one of the featured artists, Soöchi. Periphery offers a unique chance to experience art that asks viewers to look beyond the conventional and to embrace the subtle yet powerful narratives that emerge from the margins. This exhibition challenges the viewer to rethink the ways in which we understand the world and the spaces we occupy.
The Gallery is located at The Studios, Lifestyle Centre, Ballito. Open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Follow The Gallery on Instagram and Facebook @thegallerylifestyle The Gallery WhatsApp no. 072 245 8691
