Houses of Memory at Durban Art Gallery
Hey Durbanites – If you were wondering about the unusual wire construction protruding from the old underpass as you drive up toward Tollgate Bridge from the city centre, then head to the Durban Art Gallery on Wednesday the 4th of April 2007 at 6pm to find out more.
Houses of Memory opens at the DAG this Wednesday, it’s a collaboration between South African and Swedish artists – it’s a University of Kwazulu/Natal initiative – see the Centre for Creative Arts website here for more info.
Featured images are a public installation by Doung Anwar Jahangeer, South African artist and architect who will be exhibiting on the show.
Houses of Memory attempts to understand the present and the future, and to connect apparently different countries like South Africa and Sweden, and will be a multimedia exhibition, giving room for a variety of artistic expressions.

The art exhibition, Houses of Memory at the Durban Art Gallery is produced by South African and Swedish artists and forms the backbone of the Memories of Modernity project. The exhibition runs from 4 – 25 April, at the Durban Art Gallery and will move to Malmö Museum in Sweden for an installation in September 2007.
