Peter Clarke’s writing guides The Departure at Stevenson

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

In an ArtThrob interview, Alexander Richards and Igshaan Adams explain how they curated Peter Clarke’s The Departure at Stevenson in Cape Town. A short story Clarke wrote in 1955 provided a starting point for connecting paintings, prints, drawings and personal material. The curators describe exploring Simon’s Town, studying Clarke’s carefully annotated archive and developing an exhibition that suggests relationships among his works rather than a straightforward biographical chronology.
