Where to From Here : Jope Schneider
We’re excited to invite you to a new
exhibition exploring textiles, the body,
and sculpture through the manipulation
of found materials.
Jope Schneider’s practice moves between fashion and art, creating works that exist as both wearable forms and sculptural objects.
🗓 19.04.2026 – 26.04.2026 🥂 Vernissage: 19.04.2026 | 14:00 📍 Art Space Dock Gallery,
Hohlstrasse 258,

Exhibition maker: Andile Magengelele
Presented by Botaki Factory
Come through, engage, and experience the work in space.
The exhibition ‘Looking In From Outside’ by Thabiso Phepeng , presents a reunion of his new and early works from around 2018 ‑ 2025: His large scale
paintings made in 2018 to canvases and works on paper made between 2022/25 feature rapid, energetic mark‑making.
He returns to large‑scale painting with mixed‑media paintings with his recent work featuring a recurring street urchin he calls “Bida Boy” and newer works on
resin – signalling a new direction that involves pouring crystal‑clear epoxy resin over the artwork by mixing two components resulting in a chemical reaction that causes the liquid resin to gradually solidify imbuing the work with a glass‑like, high‑sheen finish.
With the latter works he focuses on gestural broad planes of color – and the tension of representational and geometrical gives his work a singular character.

Hi everyone 🌿
You’re warmly invited to the upcoming exhibition at Botaki Factory:
*WHEN FORM SHIFTS: NEW SHAPES EMERGE*
📷 Photography Exhibition by Patrick Planter
Patrick Planter was born in Jamaica, where he grew up in a society that faced socio‑economic and social upheavals. Amidst all the challenges , he grew up surrounded by a rich culture but also the vibrancy of its people, which shaped his artistic trajectory and identity.
In his seminal essay,Stuart Hall, a Jamaican‑British Marxist sociologist grapples with with the identities of Caribbean identity arguing that it is not a fixed, essentialized entity but rather a dynamic “production” that is “never complete, always in process, and always constituted within, not outside, presentation.” The exhibition ‘When Form Shifts: New Shapes Emerge’ features both familiar and never seen photographs including new images from his ongoing Shade Series. He currently lives in Zurich where he continues his practice as a photographer and is a member of the Botaki Art Collective.
🗓 11.09.2025 – 21.09.2025
