Made Routes

Catalogue produced on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Made Routes: Mapping and Making,’ curated by acclaimed academic and art historian Tamar Garb, which brings

together the work of two South African artists: Vivienne KOORLAND and Berni SEARLE. The encounter between them speaks to their shared artistic concerns and participation in the landmark exhibition ‘Trade Routes: History + Geography’ at the 1997 2nd Johannesburg Biennale under the artistic directorship of the late Okwui Enwezor (1963–2019) to whom this exhibition is dedicated. In ‘Trade Routes,’ Enwezor and his curatorial team explored the way in which contemporary art interrogates and negotiates national boundaries and cartographic hierarchies, as well as the global movement and flow of people and commodities across modernity's variegated landscapes.
