DESCRIPTION:'After Panic', a new solo exhibition by artist and academic Ruth Sacks, with the University of Johannesburg and Guns & Rain and curated by Vaughn Sadie.After Panic explores the aftermath of disaster. The exhibition deals with the physical matter that remains long after the spectacle has ended and the news cycle has moved on.Sacks’ new body of work probes the ongoing reality of environmental racism on the peripheries of the African city, from toxic mine slurry to the encasement of a looted African icon. Sacks’ exhibition reflects on how the world has changed since her 2005 Don’t Panic artwork made with skywriting. In response to an ironic text piece written over the Cape Town skyline with a polluting aeroplane, Sacks brings her focus down to earth, to Johannesburg, and what lies beneath it.Please to RSVP here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerkMWzfyPORS7WEdIZYWKLfQ3UasiuN39mNX2CfNFNFD1dXA/viewformRuth Sacks (b. 1977) is a visual artist and academic whose sculptural installations connect her writing, drawing and book-making practice to the postcolonial African city in the Anthropocene. She is an Associate Professor at the University of Johannesburg's Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture, and her first monograph is Congo Style: From Belgian Art Nouveau to African Independence  (University of Michigan Press, 2023). Sacks' work has been shown internationally, including at the African Pavilion of the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007), ZKM | Centre for Art and Media, Karlsruhe (2011), and most recently Slow Monuments at Nirox Sculpture Park (2025). This is her first exhibition with Guns & Rain.
