BIOGRAPHY
Born in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape in 1973, Madikida lives and works in Johannesburg. He held his first solo exhibition, Liminal States, at the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 2003, and his second, Interminable Limbo, at Michael Stevenson in 2004. His work frequently explores the contemporary implications of Xhosa traditions, in media including video, photography and live performance. Madikida was one of the selectors for the 2004 Brett Kebble Art Awards, and was included as curator and artist on the major group exhibition Personal Affects: Power and poetics in contemporary South African art, at the Museum for African Art and the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York (2004), travelling to The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, in 2006. He was the Standard Bank Young Artist for Visual Art 2006, with a solo exhibition of new work which toured South Africa from June 2006 to July 2007. His installation Status was seen on Documenta 12, and he was included on Heterotopias, the first Thessaloniki Biennale, and Apartheid: The South African Mirror at the Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona, in 2007. In 2003 he was the joint winner of the Tollman Award. Full CV
