@Sandton Hotel 5 Benmore Rd. Benmore, Sandton
We are excited to announce the opening of the innovative
outdoor/ indoor sculpture exhibition titled
“Take a Stand”.
"Take a Stand” offers a contemporary exploration of the concept of taking a stand, inviting interpretations that extend beyond the literal act of standing to encompass ideas of resilience, advocacy, and individual expression. Artists are encouraged to delve into what it means to take a standpoint through their sculptural creations, whether by challenging societal norms, amplifying marginalized voices, or celebrating the beauty of form and materiality. The artists explore the multifaceted nature of sculptures, delving into both their practical and conceptual dimensions.
Location:
The exhibition will be the next instalment (now in its 11th year) in a series of rooftop exhibitions hosted at the St. Lorient and The Viewing Room’s historic rooftop area, and although it remains under the branding of being a “rooftop exhibition”, the works will be displayed in the bustling piazza and inside the hotel, providing a dynamic backdrop for the featured sculptures. Surrounded by the energy of the city, this outdoor/indoor venue offers a captivating setting that enhances the dialogue between art and its environment. Visitors will be able to engage with the artworks in a communal space, fostering connections and conversations around the theme of: "Take a Stand”.
