Dossier de Prensa de "South South Veza"
Descripción de la Exposición
The platform will be inaugurated with SOUTH SOUTH VEZA, a selling event taking place from 24 February until 7 March. Meaning “to show, produce or reveal” in isiZulu — one of South Africa’s 11 national languages — VEZA presents a peer-led Online Viewing Room (OVR) together with an exhibition of iconic artworks and Talks and Film programmes by esteemed curators, Elvira Dyangani Ose and Rodrigo Moura and a standalone OVR curated by Paula Nascimento and Suzana Sousa.
VEZA opens with a live auction on Tuesday 23 February powered by auction technology and led by experts. This vernissage event innovatively disrupts the conventional market model by giving full control of the sale to galleries and re-introducing their interaction with the client. The profits will go directly to artists and galleries, with up to 20% of the proceeds benefiting selected not-for-profit partners in recognition of the fundamental contribution these make to the art ecosystem of the Global South. In raising much needed funds and spotlighting these organisations, SOUTH SOUTH highlights the crucial role they play in nurturing artists where there is otherwise a lack of institutional infrastructure and support.
The first edition of VEZA features 50+ galleries from more than 40 cities spread across 30 countries and 5 continents, coming together in their dedication to art of the Global South.
Galleries including El Apartamento (Havana), Dastan's Basement (Tehran), First Floor Gallery (Harare), Gypsum (Cairo) and Rele Gallery (Lagos) and not-for-profit partners RAW Material Company (Dakar), Green Papaya Art Projects (Manila) and Casa do Povo (São Paulo) demonstrate SOUTH SOUTH’s role as an aggregator and a resource and community for galleries, curators, artists and collectors.
Vernissage auction event: Tuesday 23 February
Veza dates: Wednesday 24 February – Sunday 7 March
