Local Art • 1978 • III
JAG hosts Art of the Space Age, featuring works by Marcel Duchamp, Jean Tinguely, Victor Vasarely, Josef Albers and others from the Peter Stuyvesant Foundation, as well as a comprehensive Walter Battiss exhibition including Fook objects, and an exhibition by Eduardo Paolozzi.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
