The system absorbs all opposition
A solo exhibition by Michael MacGarry
Everard Read Johannesburg
25 April – 15 June 2024
The exhibition continues my concern with socio-political and economic narratives particularly within the context of Africa, with key drivers centred on entropy, identity and materiality, underwritten by critical engagements with the ontology of art-making itself, and how my practice is positioned within the wider organisation of reality.
