MATTER MATTERS | ARTISTS & THEIR MEDIA
Jan 29 – Mar 8, 2025

The late, great Peter Schjeldahl observed that “An artwork is a unique, usually handmade physical object, worthless in itself, and around which ideas propagate and dreams are spun.”* With this in mind, Everard Read London will present a group exhibition exploring materiality and texture.

Featuring the work of some 25 artists, primarily from across South Africa and the diaspora, this exhibition delights in the tactile language and dimensions of creativity and contends that the physical qualities of artworks are crucial contributing elements to their visual impact.
