45 galleries, 15 new exhibitors to show at 11th FNB JoburgArtFair

14 Jun 2018

The 11th edition of the FNB JoburgArtFair will be held at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg from 6-9 September 2018. This year's art fair will showcase the work of 15 new exhibitors alongside 45 galleries from 14 countries across Africa, Europe, as well as the United States.

The fair is set to be an all-in-one showcase of fresh perspectives and sought after content on contemporary African art – with a particularly strong representation of exhibitors from Angola, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. The new exhibitors from the continent include Namibian artist collective NJE Collective based out of Windhoek and Arte de Gema Contemporary gallery from Maputo, while This is Not A Whitecube will make their Johannesburg debut as the third Luanda gallery in the lineup (after ELA - Espaço Luanda Arte and MOV’ART Gallery).

Two new team members – Amy Ellenbogen as curator: galleries and VIP and Kabelo Malatsie as curator: talks programme – have added to the diverse expertise of the existing Artlogic team, which includes Mandla Sibeko: fair director, Dr Cobi Labuscagne: director in charge of operations and management, and Nicole Siegenthaler: fair manager.

Pooling their considerable resources, knowledge, experience, and in-depth understanding of contemporary African art, this team is preparing to inspire the art community – investors, aspirant collectors, creative aficionados, and critics – as well as an art-curious public who need that annual visual crash-course to keep abreast of emerging and established artists.
