Do you like records? How about records 6 feet tall? A hipster’s wet dream?
If you have never seen one before, the Anderson Gallery can help you knock on off your bucket list with the upcoming Imaging South Africa: Collection Project. VCUarts professor Siemon Allen has giant records, postage stamps, thousands of newspaper clippings from his homeland of South Africa collected over a 10 year period. Taken as a whole they help explain the complexities of his South African identity. On view from August 27th through October 31 the exhibit will hold its opening reception on Friday, August 27 from 6-9 with a related VMFA exhibition Darkroom: Photography and New Media in South Africa Since 1950 going on the same night at the Visual Arts Center. That night a shuttle will be provided between the 2 exhibits so you don’t have to miss anything.
