Lee-At Meyerov

Artspace, Fairland

Johannesburg based Meyerov’s work is an installation based exhibition which considers the interplay between the ephemerality and fragility of memory and the physicality of material. Created solely from masking tape, each work functions as an imaginary structure, whose properties and meaning are simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar, inherently recognizable yet somehow foreign

The central installation is made up of several masking tape works enclosed in Perspex, suspended from the ceiling one behind the other, creating a sense of depth and texture.

Here, through a cumulative labour intensive process, the material itself physically metamorphizes from a utilitarian object into an ambiguous substance suggestive of an organic, ‘live’ structure, mimicking some sort of organic, bodily process. These hybrid like forms evoke familiar associations of fossilized remains, fragmented corporeal relics, imaginary topologies or tiny organisms, seemingly transient and fluid while trapped within themselves and the confines of their own display.

Meyerov graduated with a B.A. Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2003 (majoring in sculpture and installation), and a M.A Fine Art from the same University in 2007. She is a part time lecturer at the University of Johannesburg’s Fine Art Department, teaching Visual Studies, and works at the university’s Research Centre. Her works are included in the SASOL and ABSA collections as well as in other private collections..
She has a strong exhibition record and has participated in many group exhibition around South Africa.
