"Gerhard Marx occupies an increasingly important niche in South African contemporary art. His brilliant new exhibition at Everard Read Gallery in Rosebank, Joburg, demonstrates not only a commitment to his materials, but to the importance of the ideas with which he works." - James Sey

The work of South African artist, Gerhard Marx, featured at a symposium at the Courtauld Institute in London in June 2023. 'The Art and Architecture of Mapping: Visual and Material Approaches to Cartographic Objects' foregrounded such questions as: how do maps operate as representations, and how do culturally situated understandings of space shape how they are created, seen and read.
