Embedding value into material culture at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair | Arts and Culture | M&G

The Investec Cape Town Art Fair has most certainly seen an expansion in its layout, with the two most impactful creative labours being delivered outside of the main venue of the Cape Town International Convention Centre. One was a quick bike ride away in the CBD at WhatIfTheWorld, the other a lengthy car ride around the mountain at the Norval Foundation.

At a walkabout during the art fair, Petersen recounted the brightly coloured days when she picked up her grandmother from the airport as she returned home from Mecca, the holy city according to the Islamic faith. Fast forward two generations, and Petersen has noticed a loss of colour, as families at the airport fetch their loved ones from an integral journey in the Islamic faith, dressed in black.

One section of the installation employs black material stained by charcoal which still has pieces of metal attached to it. When touched, it leaves grease on your fingers. Interspersed with the section of black is a section of quality control tags which come from single jute sacks. There are many of them, threaded with rope and then stitched to the sacks.

OPINIONISTA: SA arts and culture is in a shambles, ill-served by an incompetent minister and departmentIf ever there was an indication of just how elitist and out of touch the ruling party is with its electorate, it was Minister Tito Mboweni ending his maiden Budget speech with a pledge to ‘consider proposals for a new national theatre, a new national museum… a national orchestra and ballet troupe’. SA everything is in a shambles, mostly caused by having a minister for everything. Like everything else in this country education Eskom policing health sandf water economy unemployment Prasa home affairs driver licensing etolls SARS justice Guptas Watson’s - fuck it are there any areas of competence worth mentioning Which department did well? NOT ONE!!😂😂😂😂
