Titled/Untitled
Exhibitions by Gugulective

Titled and Untitled are two exhibitions by Gugulective running parallel to each other. Gugulective is a collective of seven artists based in Gugulethu, Langa and Khayelitsha. The group operates from a Gugulethu shebeen; Kwa Mlamli where they held two past events Akuchanywa and Akuchanywa Apha respectively.

Untitled opening at Blank Projects on Thursday, November 8 will feature a collaborative installation by the collective. The installation at Blank Projects is aimed at directing focus back to Titled to take place in Gugulethu on Saturday, 10 November. For the Gugulethu leg of the exhibition the collective will create site-specific installations, videos and performances that speak to issues within that location at the same time demonstrating that anywhere could be the centre of the earth if we chose to see it that way.

The Gugulectives are Ziphozenkosi Dayile, Kemang Wa-Lehulere, Lonwabo Kilani, Khanyisile “Mintho” Mbongwa, Dathini Mzayiya, Unathi Sigenu and Themba Tsotsi. Curator Gabi Ngcobo has provided curatorial assistance.

Talk ’bout art outsyd da gallari space. It’s been ages since I’ve bin 2 Langa & on this particular day Unathi, Themba & Myself were on our way back from dropping off Zipho afta a shoot 4 Art South Africa. As we were drivin out of Langa I cud not help but 2 get a picture of this amazing artwek. This is a tin house, typical of informal settlements in Azania. The owner of da house runs a bussiness selling second hand car & mini bus taxi bumpers, he had me fooled tho’. Cud hav sworn he is a sculptor, collector or an architect. Big ups man!
