Titled Blue Is the Warmest Colour, the group show takes its title form the 2013 French film and graphic novel of the same title. The show is as a result of a partnership between BKhz and Houtlander, with the support from the American Hardwood Export Council and the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS)

The location has to do with the entity’s aspiration to flourish among the country’s main galleries and one day establish itself as their peer. With a location that sits a stone-throw away from gallery strongholds: Stevenson, Goodman Gallery and Blank Projects, BKhz will have its first group show at its pop-up space in Woodstock, Cape Town. After successfully holding space for artists and expanding the understanding of contemporary art to audiences in Johannesburg and Pretoria, the team has decided to test its model on coastal waters.

So far BKhz has made their mandate known through four solo exhibitions and over 15 group shows in their Braamfontein space or the Pretoria Art Museum. The director, Banele Khoza, attributes this to having a team that is as black, pan-African, femme and queer as the artists they exhibit. By giving these newer, often unorthodox, artists room to exist for public consumption, BKhz acclimates them to the social, economic, political and administrative processes of contemporary art. Since the second half of 2018 they have allocated as much - if not more - space, visibility and time to the work of emerging artists as it does to that of the more established. Blue Is The Warmest Colour 06.02.20 - 28.02.20īKhz has committed itself to reshaping and expanding perceptions of contemporary art in South Africa.
