As part of an exchange initiative by the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Pretoria, this catalogue and exhibition entitled Soil(ed), intends to bring together two institutions to share ideas, research and collaborate within the arts. The curatorial premise focuses on a merge of concepts by post-graduate students, each with their owninterpretation of “soiled”. The term serves as an indication of uncovering, digging, scratching, discomfort and uncertainty to express the processes of research. The exhibition aims to encourage investigation of placing art within an academic context. Space and placement play an important role as the works converse and create delicate interplay with the intended audience. The exhibition showcases a selection of works ranging in theme, research focus and consists of drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, prints, installation and mixed media.
