Kudzanai Chiurai wins FNB Art Prize

Kudzanai Chiurai is the winner of this year’s FNB Art Prize. As part of the prize Chiurai will have the opportunity to showcase his work at the FNB Joburg Art Fair in a dedicated solo booth. The booth will bring together editioned work from Kudzanai’s installation Conflict Resolution, presented at this year’s dOCUMENTA (13), as well as new painting, drawing and sculpture that grapples with the issue of conflict in the contemporary moment in Africa. “The spaces within which conflict has been taking place vary to the extent of our own understanding of what defines conflict,” explains Chiurai. “Our understanding of resolution is therefore also brought to the fore as we question the validity and nature of force used in our attempts at peace.” The Joburg Art Fair takes place at the Sandton Convention Centre from 7-9 September 2012.
