Exhibition Opening – Contemporary figurative artist Lena Hugo and Gerrit Handl immersing and emerging

At the forthcoming exhibition at the ADMIRALS RESIDENCE, a dialogue unfolds, inviting us to explore two perspectives on the contemporary figure. This setting is not merely a display of art but an inspiring conversation between two artists whose works resonate with insights into our shared human experience.

All art enthusiasts and artists interested to experience an afternoon of art at our exhibition are invited. The opening will be on July 9th from 13:00 to 17:00. Meet the current artists, chat with them about their latest work and how they have created them during their residence here in Muizenberg. Enjoy the show or find out if the residency program is also for you.

Life drawing Muizenberg – Collaborative First Thursdays Event

The cultural exchange event of the first Thursday has been successfully launched throughout Cape Town in 2012 and was intended to be centred around art galleries, retail stores, restaurants and bars. We want to combine this approach with added value to the community of visual artists around the cape peninsula. We are opening opportunity for collaborating by finding inspiration together whilst working in exchange with a life model.

Lena Hugo seeks to create art exploring the concept of immersing and emerging within the contemporary figure and environment. Throughout her stay she will be reacting to the Displacement title of our prior residency exhibition title. Her personal work involves the depiction of individuals going through physical or emotional displacement, and how it affects their identity and sense of belonging. With her arrival on the 24th of June until her departure on the 15th of August we invite you to follow her work process in form of private studio visits, several events and her final exhibition.

„Conviviality: That just simply means living together, doesn’t it.“

„Conviviality: That just simply means living together, doesn’t it.“

We recently had the pleasure of hosting yet another artist dinner at our single table restaurant here at the admirals residence. It was planned around the intent of investigating forms of living together and apart. „Conviviality: That just simply means living together, doesn’t it.“ Translating experiences into our own beliefs that might be part of what happens if we meet in person, previously foreign meanings emerge from the abstract into the present. Thank you Isobel for pointing out so clearly that we are to actively living the concept of conviviality.

Displacement and Conviviality

Displacement and Conviviality

This event brings together artists, scientists, and other actors from civil society to discuss and envision existing and new forms of conviviality in times of displacement. 
On the 25th February 2023 Admirals Artist Residence is hosting an Artist Dinner spotlighting the ins and outs of Displacement and Conviviality. Our featured guest for the evening is Prof. Dr. Peter Dannenberg who will dine with and moderate the event discussion with you.

Poetry in motion

Poetry in motion

Gita has been dancing since before she could walk or talk. She has discovered that this is something she doesn’t want to live without. The experience of “IT” is more than just joy for her. It is vitality. It is poetry in motion.
We are blown away by her energy and excited to have her visiting our residence for the evening.

What IS IT

What IS IT

Enjoy a wonderful evening at the Admirals Artist Residence and see Gita Galina perform and sit with the artist at the MuizenbergLovestories Single Table Restaurant. Be with us at the table and watch the experiment first hand and live in a private setting. Drawn to perform she’s challenging herself experimenting with her body, voice, emotion and whatever she sees coming.
