Gareth Nyandoro was born in 1982 in Bikita, Zimbabwe.
The publication also includes a newly commissioned essay from Cape Town-based writer, critic, and editor Sean O’Toole, which discusses notions of ‘cutting’ and ‘spilling’ in Nyandoro’s practice against a backdrop of both Zimbabwe’s colonial past and ‘southern urbanism’ – city life in the global South.
The publication features an introduction by curator Adelaide Blanc, who curated Nyandoro’s 2017 solo exhibition \'Stall(s) of Fame\' at the Palais de Tokyo.
This, the artist’s first monograph, documents selected bodies of work created since 2015 and presented in exhibitions at venues including the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Quetzal Art Centre, Portugal, Tiwani Contemporary, London, Modern Art Oxford, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam.
Inspired by his training as a printmaker, and derived from etching, the artist’s distinctive technique, \'Kucheka-cheka\', is named after the infinitive and present tense declinations of the Shona verb \'cheka\', which means \'to cut\'.
The artist’s primary source of inspiration is the rapidly changing urban and cultural panorama of Zimbabwe.
