Nirox Sculpture Park, located in Cradle of Humankind seems a particularly fitting location to host an exhibition of South African sculpture from the last twenty years. Its palaeontological treasures remind us how short that span of time is while offering a temporary home to art that draws on history much older than the most ancient fossil that its rocks still encase.
The sculptors on this show draw on diverse themes, techniques and methods but one thing they all have in common is the land that surrounds them.
