Curating 

Mary Corrigall curated the first exhibition dedicated to exploring a ‘romantic’ turn in contemporary art in South Africa at Barnard gallery in Cape Town. This commercial exhibition presented a generation of young Cape Town based-painters preoccupied with the area where nature, science and the sublime converge under the banner of romanticism. In harnessing and coming to grips with the aesthetic and ideological drivers behind this painterly mode, Corrigall has chosen to dub it ‘new romanticism’ as it shares characteristics with a titular movement in the late 18th century
