The Iziko South African National Gallery is proud to host DIS-EASE: a new generation of video art from the Rijksakademie archives. Taking place from 6 April until 28 June 2009, the video compilation screening reflects on the power of the medium, both in terms of content and articulation, as explored by some twenty-seven artists of seventeen different nationalities.

DIS-EASE was curated by Durban-based artist and curator, Greg Streak, while on a visit to Amsterdam in early 2008. Streak, representing the artist run initiative PULSE, partnered with the Rijksakademie and Bank Gallery, Durban, to produce the show.
