In Conversation đŁïž
Earlier this year, long-time friends and fellow Goodman Gallery artists Sue Williamson and Clive van den Berg met in Sueâs Cape Town studio to talk about their prodigious careers. Across the course of a morning, with cameras rolling, they spoke about first meeting in the late 1980s, the difficulties making art in the final years of apartheid and the joy of the democratic transition.
This is an excerpt from an earlier part of the resulting film, which will soon be available on our website. It is part of a forthcoming series in which two Goodman Gallery artists go deep and talk about their careers. The film, produced by Liza Essers, is part of Goodman Galleryâs wider project celebrating its milestone 60th anniversary and celebrating its artists.

Scenes from the Archive đïž
In a televised panel discussion on art as investment (Roger Corfield, Portfolio, 1982), Goodman Gallery founder Linda Goodman appeared alongside historian EsmĂ© Berman, Johannesburg Art Gallery Director Pat Senior, art evaluator Vyvyan Myerson and Sothebyâs South Africa director at the time, Stephan Welz.
During the debate, Goodman emerges as a progressive voice, repeatedly challenging Welzâs conservative stance on young and âavant-gardeâ artists. When Welz argued that such work fetched poor prices at auction and was therefore best avoided, Goodman responded: âI think thatâs an easy way out. I think that one has to work hard to promote young artists, whether one is a dealer or an auctioneer.â

A musical finissage đïž
The closing of âCommon Purposeâ, a joint exhibition of jazz-influenced works by David Koloane and Sam Nhlengethwa at Goodman Gallery Cape Town, ended on a special note with a visit by Sam. After a brief walkabout of the exhibition, the artist played a selection of his favourite vinyl records. Interspersed with enthusiastic commentary, his DJ set featured cuts by Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman and Bheki Mseleku.

Last week to view đ
William Kentridge
âA Nicely Built Cityâ
Goodman Gallery London
Until 7 November 2026
It is the last week to view William Kentridgeâs critically acclaimed exhibition, âA Nicely Built Cityâ at Goodman Gallery London.
Join us tomorrow, Tuesday 3 November at 2pm, for a special conversation between William Kentridge and artist and novelist Edmund de Waal. The discussion coincides with the forthcoming publication of de Waalâs âHow to Beginâ, inspired by the rediscovery of letters between his grandmother Elisabeth Ephrussi and Rainer Maria Rilke, whose poetry also features in Kentridgeâs recent production of Monteverdiâs âLâOrfeoâ.
The exhibition marks the global premiere of âA Nicely Built City (Never Resists Destruction)â, the twelfth film in Kentridgeâs cycle of Drawings for Projection (1989âpresent). Characterised by the artist as a return to basics, in particular to charcoal drawing and filmmaking, the exhibition includes a studio-like display of original drawings from the film.
These are presented alongside new work linked to Kentridgeâs production of âLâOrfeoâ, currently on stage at the Greek National Opera in Athens, including a Pepperâs Ghost film installation integrating workshop footage with sculptures and works on paper.

A look back at the opening of âYouâve Been Here Beforeâ at Magugu House in Cape Town âš
âYouâve Been Here Beforeâ
Chemu Ngâok & Misheck Masamvu
Magugu House x Goodman Gallery
Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town
Until 28 November 2026
Bringing together paintings by Chemu Ngâok and Misheck Masamvu, the exhibition explores the unstable territory between memory, recognition and abstraction, where figures and landscapes emerge and dissolve through vivid fields of colour.
As Thebe Magugu writes, the exhibition recalls that peculiar moment in remembering when an image appears before its details do: âA gathering. A landscape. A figure. Something feels familiar, even when we cannot quite remember why.â
Presented at Magugu House, the cultural space and atelier founded by Thebe Magugu, the exhibition forms part of a two-city collaboration with Goodman Gallery, bringing contemporary art into dialogue with fashion, design and cultural storytelling. In Johannesburg, a focused presentation brings together works by David Goldblatt and Clive van den Berg at Magugu House in Dunkeld.

Listening Session with Sam Nhlengethwa đ¶
Join us at Goodman Gallery Cape Town for a conversation with Sam Nhlengethwa, followed by a listening session and an evening of shared sound and exchange.
Thursday, 5 November | 5pm
Goodman Gallery Cape Town
37A Somerset Road, De Waterkant
The event takes place alongside âCommon Purposeâ, a two-person exhibition bringing together new and historical works by Nhlengethwa and the late David Koloane, whose shared love of jazz has remained a recurring influence across different periods of their practices. Both artistsâ practices were shaped by the realities of being Black in apartheid South Africa, with jazz offering a shared language of creative freedom, expression and resistance.

âthe dirt the tree the land
scape can only be said
in this languageâ
Curated by London-based art historian Dr. ZoĂ© Whitley, online exhibition âSouth South: the dirt the tree the landâ draws its title from a line in American writer Lucille Cliftonâs (1936-2010) poem âdefending my tongueâ (1987).
Visual artists and poets share a formal concision through which ideas can be expressed so essentially that images and words blossom. âthe dirt the tree the landâ is a collective exploration of the material traces left by physical toil. Hard graft roots our connectedness to places that both sustain and strain us. Cliftonâs poem uses her signature lower case spelling and distinctive spacing between words to establish a bittersweet pace and mood. Our mother tongues and the physical materials present in our upbringing form our identity; they tie us to fundamental understandings of ourselves in the world. We learn to recount not only through but beyond words, to our landscape and to our soil.
Featuring: Tonico Auad, Juliana Dos Santos, Vibha Galhotra, Bulumko Mbete, Tumelo Mtimkhulu, Grace Ndiritu, Ravelle Pillay and Betye Saar

In her mesmerizing National Memorial in Paris, titled âThe Archiveâ (2026) Grada Kilomba honors the victims of the Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda, and raises the question of how to represent the impossible?
In 1994, one million people were killed in one hundred days under international silence. Facing such violence and human suffering: how to give a language to what words cannot?
