Hasan & Husain Essop / Halaal Art / 2010

20 February - 29 March 2010
Goodman Gallery, Johannesburg

Hasan & Husain Essop / Halaal Art / Opening 20 February 11h30 – 13h30

Goodman Gallery is proud to present Halaal Art, an exhibition of photographs and a video installation by twin brothers Hasan and Husain Essop. The exhibition, as with all their work, deals with notions of performance, representation, and the tension between self and other. Born and raised in Cape Town, the twins graduated from the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2007. During 2009 they completed a residency in Cuba – coinciding with the inclusion of their work in the Havana Biennale – and facilitated a workshop on invitation from the University of Hamburg, Germany.

Halaal Art extends the artists’ preoccupation with the role of the individual in society, in particular the space that Muslim youth negotiate in a secular environment. Inspired by their experiences abroad, the images depict the brothers in various carefully staged locations and poses around Havana, Hamburg and Cape Town.
