Agenda 03 - 09 April 2011

Showcases museum purchases and gifts and provides a glimpse into collecting opportunities for art museums. Centerpiece: a towering and visually striking sculpture of Haitian leader Toussaint Louverture by contemporary Senegalese artist Ousmane Sow.

nmafa

Recent sculpture and painting by Congolese-born artist Aimé Mpane. His work indicts the social and political reality around him, a reality shaped by a perspective wrought out of his ability to express universal human emotions and deep understanding of the aesthetic and cultural character of the African continent.

skotogallery

One of Durban’s most prolific and highly respected artists presents five distinct series that together form this exhibition. Medium and large-scale oils on canvas, 120 palm size sculptures – Signposts, pen and ink drawings – People of Importance and Remnants, and an installation of cutouts – Sacred Memories.

kznsagallery

As seen on Cbeebies Tingatinga Stories. The Tingatinga painting style is named after Edward Saidi Tingatinga, born in southern Tanzania. He developed his own very personal style based on Swahili and Arabic traditions, illustrating colourful animals that fill up most of the frame. After his death in 1972 the Tingatinga Arts Co-operative Society was founded.

The exhibition Artists in Dialogue: Sandile Zulu and Henrique Oliveira is the second in a series of exhibitions in which exciting artists (at least one of whom is African) are invited to a new encounter -- one in which each artist responds to the work of the other, and resulting in original, site-specific works at the museum.

Artists in Dialogue II

Eshetu (Ethiopia/NL) explores themes like the relationship between nature and technology and the idea of life as a spectacle, using images from his personal geography: scenes from a dance in Bali or footage from visits to New York City and Ethiopia.

nmaa

Work of 18 photographers, new media and video artists, who lived and worked in South Africa during the apartheid era (1948-1994), though a few now live elsewhere. Darkroom’s eight sections highlight the ways that these artists have addressed South African culture from various perspectives, and their increased presence in the global art world since 1994.

Deze bijzondere collectie sieraden is afkomstig uit een gebied dat zich uitstrekt van Noord-Afrika, Midden-Oosten en Azië. Ze vertellen het krachtige verhaal van schoonheid, vakmanschap en economische waarde. Ze staan voor esthetiek, maar ook voor magische spiritualiteit. Deze recent geschonken collectie wordt nu voor het eerst tentoongesteld.

wereldmuseum

More than 100 extraordinary sculptures, dating from the 12th to the 15th century. Artists at Ife, the ancient Yoruba city state, created a unique sculptural corpus which ranks among the world's most aesthetically striking and technically sophisticated.

vmfa africanart.org

Brings together the full range of the artist’s work, from wood trays referring to traditional symbols of the Akan people of Ghana; to early ceramics from the artist’s Broken Pots series, driftwood assemblages that refer to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and wooden sculptures carved with a chainsaw; to the luminous metal wall-hangings of recent years.

Ernest Cole (1940-1990) passionately believed in his mission to tell the world in photographs what it meant to be black under Apartheid rule. He penetrated to the very depths of the existence of black people as they negotiated their lives through the insanity of apartheid and its racist laws and oppression.

Drawn entirely from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, Impressions from South Africa, 1965 to Now features nearly 100, posters, books, and wall stencils created over the last five decades that demonstrate the exceptional reach, range, and impact of printmaking during and after a period of enormous political upheaval.

moma

Award-winning photographer Jodi Bieber explores the twilight that she experienced in the decade following the advent of democracy in South Africa. The show is a selection of work from 1993 to 2004, primarily revealing Bieber’s more rarely shown independent series, as well as some of her earlier work as a press photographer.

Using images and metaphor to investigate the scientific contents of found reference books, Barbara Wildenboer tries to make sense of phenomena such as fractal geometry and the interconnectedness of all living things by creating visual metaphors that speak of a sense of wonder at the complicated beauty of patterns in nature.

A number of works that show how Hlobo uses sculpture, installation, performance and drawing to address issues of gender, cultural difference and contemporary politics. Hlobo’s work implicates viewers in the scenario of South African culture, providing enough clues to bridge the differences between his local cultural sensitivities and those of a global art world.

Tekeningen op hout van Maarten Dekker, gereduceerd tot de essentie van de vorm van alledaagse objecten, contrasteren met de zinsbegoochelende sculpturen van Barbara Polderman en het visuele spektakel van de mysterieuze schilderijen van Omar Ba. In Ba's werk ervaar je tegenovergestelde werelden: mensen en dieren, vooruitgang en natuur, moderniteit en traditie, het westen en Afrika.

Amado (Sao Tomé) omschreef het leven ooit als een labyrint. “Je weet nooit wat je de volgende dag te wachten staat.” Met name in zijn abstractere werken lijkt hij dit uitgangspunt haast letterlijk vorm te geven. Het hele oppervlak is gevuld met labyrintachtige vormen. Heel kleurig, in elkaar grijpend, warrig.

galerie23

Images that border on the macabre and fantastical, qualified by a vein of dark humour and tragicomedy. Mug shots of vicious criminals rub shoulders with stuffed gorillas, concrete dinosaurs square off against burlesque wrestlers: a phantasmagoria of ill-starred misfits.

kznsagallery

Seeks to complicate representations of Africa through a set of works on cities as sites of convergence of multiple pasts and futures. Includes photo installations by Sammy Baloji, Pieter Hugo, Sabelo Mlangeni, and Guy Tillim and video installations by Salem Mekuria and IngridMwangiRobertHutter.

Works featured in this installation are highly creative re-imaginings of the iconic form of the African mask. Among them are sculptural assemblages made of incongruous combinations of discarded materials by two contemporary artists from the Republic of Benin, Romuald Hazoumé (b. 1962) and Calixte Dakpogan (b. 1958).

Bringing together old and new photographs of Johannesburg, the exhibition's title refers to the obsolete South African motorcar registration acronym 'Transvaal, Johannesburg'. These letters, Goldblatt explains, 'implied a certain loyalty'. The exhibition elucidates on aspects of the sprawling city of Johannesburg, which both infuriate and astound the photographer.
