David Goldblatt and Clive van den Berg: Trace, Tremor, Remnant

David Goldblatt and Clive van den Berg: Trace, Tremor, Remnant at Goodman Gallery
The exhibition brings together the works of Clive van den Berg and the late David Goldblatt to explore the layered histories inscribed within South Africa’s physical and ideological terrains. Van den Berg’s gestural paintings evoke landscapes as porous vessels of lived experience, unearthing unresolved narratives and imagined topographies through an intuitive approach to form and texture. Goldblatt’s meticulously composed photographs from his Intersections series offer a complementary yet incisive lens, capturing the enduring legacies of apartheid embedded within architectural and natural spaces. Together, their works engage in a profound conversation on memory, presence, and the spectral traces that haunt the land, prompting viewers to contemplate the intricate entanglements between history, place, and identity.
