A contemporary gallery in the Foreshore founded as a project space in 2005, showing emerging and established artists from the region. Entry is free.
About
blank projects started in 2005 as a project space run by the sculptor Jonathan Garnham, who had returned to Cape Town after a decade in Berlin. It became a full commercial gallery in 2012 and has since built a reputation for shaping critical discussion around contemporary art in southern Africa.
The programme leans towards concept and abstraction and represents a mix of emerging and established artists from the region. Shows tend to be spare and rigorous, and the gallery is a regular at major local and international art fairs.
It remains one of the more experimental commercial spaces in the city.
