I am delighted to announce that my work will be represented by Berman Contemporary at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair from 20 – 22 February 2026.

My work will be in great company at the Berman Contemporary Main Booth C14, where, as the gallery notes: “the viewers are invited into a layered, multi-sensory space where listening is not passive but attentive, tactile, and embodied. Here, listening is understood as a form of translation, a way of making sense of internal and external worlds through material, memory, gesture, and care. Rather than prioritizing the auditory, this exhibition looks at how we listen through process, presence, and perception.”

On Saturday the 21st of February at 15h00 I will be doing a live performance titled: “I’M FINE”.

The performance extends the concerns of my exhibition Mother. Monster. Stitch. into live time.

Focused on a single, overused phrase, “I’m fine,” the work treats reassurance not as truth, but as a social reflex used to manage discomfort, deflect concern, and smooth over situations that remain visibly unresolved and the pressure to appear “okay” even when the body suggests otherwise. The performance centers feminine labour: grooming, maintenance, emotional regulation – unpaid, invisible, infinite. It is not about collapse or protest. It is about how much work is required to simply manage what is expected. It is a quiet, durational piece that allows audiences to observe at their own pace.

I look forward meeting you there!

MOTHER.MONSTER.STITCH. – You are invited!

I am delighted to invite you to my first exhibition with Berman Contemporary AND also my very first monographic exhibition: (An exhibition dedicated to the work of a single artist, usually exploring a coherent body of work, a period, or a conceptual thread within their practice.)

A word from the gallery: “Where does the feminine go when it stops behaving? Mother.Monster.Stitch. pulls you into Hannalie Taute’s stitched, spiked, unruly world – a place where rubber skin, thread, masks and valves come alive. Domestic myths unravel. New creatures emerge. The familiar turns strange, funny, and defiantly alive. This exhibition celebrates the handmade as rebellion – raw, imperfect, intimate and full of bite. Come meet the monster. She might look a little like you.”

Join us for the opening on 6 December from 13:00 – 15:00 at Shop 5A2 Silo District, V&A Waterfront.

I am looking forward to meeting up in Cape Town 🖤
