Quotes

In 2005, he filled the internal space of the Premises Gallery at the Civic Theatre in Braamfontein with two-and-a-half tons of carpet layers, a work called "Uplift:The Mountain Premises." "By entirely occupying a space with an artwork, an act that must have caused a certain degree of inaccessibility and inconvenience, Slemon sought to probe the manner in which we attempt to control the personal and public spaces that we occupy." -Jackie McInnes, SA Art Times, Issue 8, August 2006
