Art Exhibition
“People and time” by Ian Grose
“People and Time”, Ian Grose’s seventh solo exhibition, opened on 11 February and runs until 18 March. The exhibition showcases Grose’s unique interpretations of the human experience through the lens of time. “Everyone, to some degree, is used to being the subject of a photo. But it seems the artificiality of remaining still for a long time makes people lapse into opposite states: sitting there either ‘as oneself’ or as a fictional, imaginary, different person; either vulnerable or confident (every confident pose, after a few hours, becomes vulnerable); either conscious of being scrutinised or being so bored they forget about it entirely, presenting their face to me as if I wasn’t there,” Grose says.
DATES: Until 18 March
VENUE: Stevenson Johannesburg, 46 7th Avenue, Parktown North
