“I think our interests pertain more to Dadaist strategies, and that’s where we've trained our focus in selecting the artworks. It’s really to distil some of those out. It's an opportunity to look back at the beginning of South African avant-garde art practice and to try and understand what its heritage has been.”
– Roger van Wyk
