inter-sections on fox


The opening of Inter-sections on Fox
 dirk bahmann + jason frenkel ]

at the GoetheonMain  on 4 October2012  18h30
The exhibition runs till the 28th October 2012

Inter-sections on fox is an exhibition that explores and documents the diverse worlds that converge on the streets of the Maboneng District.  Fox street hosts a multiplicity of users who occupy the public space of the street in a way unlike anywhere else in Jo’burg.  The rules of engagement here are ambivalent and there is therefore a constant re-negotiation of how people interact with each other.  This exhibition traces the movements of the various users from Fox street to their destinations throughout Jo’burg. It examines the emerging culture of urbanity and the intersection of worlds that is a unique phenomenon in the still highly fragmented city of Johannesburg. 
Gallery opening hours
Tuesday and Wednesday: 10:00 – 16:00
Thursday: 11:00 – 20:00
Friday and Saturday: 10:00 – 16:00
Sunday: 10:00 – 14:00
Monday: closed
