Based in Cape Town, South Africa, blank was founded by Jonathan Garnham as a project space in 2005 and transitioned into a commercial gallery during 2012.

The gallery represents emerging and increasingly established artists from the region and the diaspora in a critically engaged programme with a focus on concept and abstraction in the African context.

With an exhibition programme that has a reputation for shaping the discourse around contemporary art in (Southern) Africa, and participation in prominent local and international art fairs, we seek to place our artists’ work in a wide range of private and institutional collections.

In addition, blank continues to promote the visual arts in our local community through ongoing projects that support the sector.
