RMB Latitudes Art Fair’s Independent Artist Exhibition, AKA: INDEX has always presented itself as a platform to give exposure to independent artists, who often have to create their own networks and methods for getting their work seen by audiences.
This is often cultivated through fostering relationships with curators, organisers, and other artists, as well as building an online presence through websites, social media, and various platforms. This exhibition is a reflection of this spirit; it speaks to the importance of cultivating connections outside traditional models of exhibition making and creating space for galleries and audiences to discover new artists.
This year’s exhibition is curated by Bonolo Kavula.
In its third year as a platform, INDEX continues to push towards subversion. Defying the common rules that require artists to be presented by a gallery at a fair, INDEX strives towards the breaking of those barriers to entry which exclude independent artists from art fair participation. This platform manifests itself as a group exhibition, titled Invisible Thread, curated by artist Bonolo Kavula.
