Moshekwa Langa (born 1975) is a South African visual artist whose work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, performance, video, and photography.
[3] As of 2021, Langa was based in Amsterdam and had work on permanent exhibition at MoMA, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the Tate Modern, among others.
"[7] Langa's extensive practice is frequently philosophical in nature, and he has stated belonging, longing, desire, and separation as some themes he has explored.
[8] Langa's 1995 installation ("empty, ripped-open, creosote-smeared detergent bags hung on a line like flayed skins") was shown again in 2003 at Brandeis' Rose Gallery and was noted for the interest it caused in Johannesburg and Europe surrounding its undefined meanings.
[10] Other notable projects include his November-December 2021 multi-media installation titled The Sweets of Sin, at Andrew Kreps in Tribeca, which featured paintings, as well as (on the floor of the gallery) a scramble of de-contextualized, yet familiar objects of leisure or waiting, such as records, burnt logs, and coffee table books.
