AVANT CAR GUARD

Avant Car Guard are Zander Blom, Jan-Henri Booyens and Michael MacGarry - a three member visual art collective from Johannesburg (recently featured in Frieze Magazine Issue 112). They have exhibited at a national and international level over the past 18 months, including an extended exhibition at The Pure Project in New York City. They have published two books on their production entitled Volume I, and Volume II. Their approach to art production, the art world and their own collective role as a singular artist is characterized by a strong sense of humour and punk sensibility. Their approach focuses on conceptual art manifested through photography and performance. “A sincere act to invent something insincere,” is probably the most succinct definition of their method.
