RELATED VARIETY – Salon dinner at the single table restaurant

Gerrit | Posted on 9. February 2025 | No Comments |

What holds a society together? Beyond buildings and borders, it is the structures of thought, exchange, and shared purpose that define how we connect. The Admirals Residence invites you to an evening of intellectual exchange, artistic reflection, and shared inquiry into the frameworks that underpin our interactions.

Join us for a salon where open-minded individuals from diverse disciplines will explore the importance of ownership in intellectual property, the values that drive socio-economic interactions, and the balance between infinite rule sets within finite processes. Experience different laws of culture and interaction that teach us interconnectedness.

Date: 18.02.2025 Venue: The Admirals Residence, Muizenberg

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.

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.
