Pieter Hugo - The Hyena & Other Men
Foam 5 September - 2 November 2008

Foam presents ‘The Hyena & Other Men’, an exhibition by South African photographer Pieter Hugo (b. 1976, Johannesburg). In March 2008, Hugo was selected by an international jury as winner of the annual KLM Paul Huf Award. Part of this prize for young international photographers is an exhibition at Foam.
Pieter Hugo travelled twice to Nigeria (in 2005 and 2007) to follow a legendary group of itinerant street artists known as the Hyena Men. These men earn their money by performing on the streets with hyenas, pythons and baboons, and by selling traditional medicines.

AEROSOL SYMPOHNIES Part II
A confluence of classical music and Street Art.
Opening: Saturday, August 16th until mid october 2008

Last year, summer 2007, GO Gallery worked with a number of
international and local Street Artists, to present
AEROSOL SYMHPONIES.
(The word Aerosol being derived from the Spray Can)
In this showing, two worlds come together. The exhibit is a meeting
of the world of classical music and modern art, street art.
All the artists have chosen a piece of classical music, which has
touched them personally. The music, its origin and the story behind
it have been studied carefully. With this piece of music, the artists
have then made an artwork, a composition of their own, a painting.
Just as the composer was inspired by his surroundings, the artist has
let him/herself be inspired by their favorite composer.
