What are the modes to experience art? How and where can we see, experience, buy art outside of the white cube? How can we share the stories of art and artists differently?

The upcoming exhibitions at Joburgs newest wine and food spot investigates different modes of exaclty that.

Staging the conversation around art - presented on the restaurant walls as a table conversation, part of the experience of flavours, textures, mood and feelings evoked by familiar and new tastes.

Each exhibition is curated and mediated through talks, text and visual queues for an intentional engagement and sharing of ideas, thoughts and feelings sparked by the works around.

Run by wine somellier Jemma Styer and chef Jes Doveton, acid is a platform to celebrate craft in food and wine, creativity, art, music and community.
