Corner of the Eye catalogues a collaborative pairing of works by Moshekwa Langa and Nora Schultz. It traces the process of exhibition – and art-making, beginning with a conversation between Josh Ginsburg of A4 Arts Foundation (Cape Town) and Léna Monnier of Kadist (Paris), and culminating in a gallery show. Corner of the Eye is at once a discrete catalogue and process document, pairing finished works with propositions, tangents and incidents.  

The book includes an exploratory essay by Stephanie Hessler.  

An extract from the introduction: 

“From an affinity between the work of Moshekwa Langa and Nora Schultz, to the production of their new installations, we witnessed how artists experimented from a series of reactions between materials conserving their ties to their places of origin. They resulted in two distinct proposals toward a cinematic component. 

An exhibition as a medium creates connections and ideas. It is a phenomenological object or experiment able to trigger thoughts and deductions. The AND between two works marks a new threshold where memory is not something abstract, personal, from the past, but a form alive that interacts directly with the world, as its role is to lead to action.”
