Local Art • 1993 • II
Siemon Allen, Thomas Barry and Ledelle Moe establish the FLAT Gallery (or flatinternational) in their flat in Durban. They host a range of experimental, multi-disciplinary events and exhibitions until the flat burns down in 1995.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
