Alumni Success Stories

Alumni duo Jesi Carson and Theunis Snyman - founders of Basic Design recently designed an installation, We Will Learn, as part of L A M P 2014, an international lighting design competition featuring a curated exhibition of 10 jury-selected finalists.

Knauf and Brown ('13) will be showing some new work at The Apartment gallery’s booth during this year’s NADA art fair, which is held in parallel with Art Basel Miami Beach.

POLYPHONICS refers to the harmony of two or more textures in a melodious composition. This exhibit is to explore harmony between colours or chords. Unless working with light, artists work in a subtractive colour model to achieve these distinct ideas. Explorations are of colour harmonies such as cool, warm, complementary, analogous, monochromatic, or triadic, to create a whole concept. Works presented are largely involving multimedia imagery whether mimicking, projecting, or displaying.

This exhibition will show projects of emerging local artists in a variety of formats including media, installation, and painting.
