On Tuesday, 17 July at 17:30, visiting curator Patrick Murphy presents a special "preview" walkabout of the exhibition "Singing the Real", an exhibition of contemporary Irish art, which marks the beginning of a cultural exchange between Ireland and South Africa.

Opening at Iziko South African National Gallery on 19 July and running until 30 September, this multi-media exhibition explores the combination of scientific method and art practice that is prevalent in Irish art today. Video projections, installations, photographic light boxes, photographs, drawings and paintings are amongst the works on view.
