💥 Kendell Geers: Art as Provocation
Kendell Geers doesn’t just create art—he detonates it.
Born in 1968 in Johannesburg, Geers is one of the country’s most radical conceptual artists. His works disrupt, disturb, and demand attention. He uses police tape, broken glass, and sacred texts—blending punk, politics, and poetry.
Geers renounced his Afrikaner identity and redefined what it means to be a South African artist in the post-apartheid world. His work confronts race, religion, language, and the very notion of art itself.
Why he matters:
Exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Centre Pompidou, Guggenheim
Invented the term "Post-Apartheid Identity"
One of South Africa’s most controversial and discussed artists
With Geers, art becomes a weapon. And every piece pulls the pin.
