In the vibrant neighborhood of Woodstock, Cape Town, a 360-square-meter gallery called blank has been cultivating a thriving art scene since its inception in 2005. Founded by Jonathan Garnham as a project space, blank underwent a transformative journey, evolving into a prominent commercial gallery in 2012. Today, it stands as a hub for emerging and increasingly established artists from the region, showcasing their work in a critically engaged program that highlights contemporaneity and explores concepts and abstraction within the African context.
