Programme 2023

Lulama Wolf is a visual artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Wolf’s paintings aim to challenge various concepts of modernity and reclaim the language of time. Striving to promote a sense of community in all aspects of her work, Wolf’s practice actively engages in dialogue with both her artistic and familial predecessors.

For CHART 2023, we are delighted to present a talk between Lulama Wolf and Fatoş Üstek, an independent curator and writer based in London. In October 2023, Üstek will curate Frieze Sculpture 2023, London.

Leo Park is a Stockholm-based painter. Using a distinctly contemporary form of expression, Park delves into art history to fuse traditional imagery with modern references and sensibilities, in a playful search for new perspectives relating to the tradition of painting. The results are oil paintings that pay homage to legendary artists, while still appearing decidedly fresh.

For CHART 2023, we are delighted to present a talk between Leo Park and Markús Þór Andrésson, Chief Curator of Exhibitions and Public Engagement at Reykjavík Art Museum, Iceland.

Frances Goodman’s work employs the materials of the beauty industry to interrogate the portrayal of women in contemporary society, thereby drawing attention to popular cultural definitions that narrow the possibilities of identity to extremes of consumption, obsession, desire, and anxiety. Physical presentation and transformation are both a crushing expectation and a source of empowerment for the archetypes in Goodman’s elaborate sculptures and installations.

For CHART 2023, we are delighted to present a talk between Frances Goodman and Marie-Ann Yemsi, Independent Exhibition Curator, Contemporary Art Consultant and Member of the Board of Directors at Palais de Tokyo - Center for Contemporary Creation in Paris.
