Artefacts at the Pretoria Art Museum
Artefacts at the Pretoria Art Museum is a collaborative exhibition showing works by Lothar Böttcher and Caitlin Greenberg.
Both artists are known for their passion and specialised use of glass in their oeuvre. This exhibition does not specifically explore materiality and craft but rather investigates a spectrum of social narratives. Both artists examine inner voices, expressing personal dilemmas and philosophies, that invite visitors to experience the space through a fourth dimension – one
shaped by memory, emotion and embodied presence.
