Ghada Amer & Reza Farkhondeh / Love is a Difficult Blue / 2018

18 January - 24 February 2018
Goodman Gallery, Cape Town

Goodman Gallery Cape Town 18 January – 24 February 2018

Love is a Difficult Blue is an exhibition of new collaborative works by Ghada Amer and Reza Farkhondeh in which the artists look to women and to nature for inspiration – a key focus since they first collaborated in the early 2000s.

For this new body of work, the artists chose to draw on used Pellon (a synthetic fabric that is commonly used in papermaking) and on paper – their signature medium.
