The African Choir 1891 Re-Imagined : @ SA National Gallery Cape Town
Powerful. Brilliant photography. Mesmerising. Moving.. Haunting...
13th August 2017 SA National Gallery
London 2016 :Sound / image installation
The African Choir 1891 Re-Imagined
Working with fourteen young professional singers, the composers reinvent songs based upon the original concert programmes in London during the summer of 1891. The contemporary singers are drawn from choral groups and opera schools in South Africa; each singer corresponds with a counterpart with his or her vocal type in the original fourteen-member African Choir, who toured Britain between 1891 and 1893, performing to great acclaim and large audiences at venues such as Crystal Palace, and for Queen Victoria at Osborne House.
Their repertoire was divided into two halves: one comprised Christian hymns sung in English together with popular operatic arias and choruses; the other traditional African songs.
Their portraits, first exhibited in 2014 as part of Black Chronicles II, had remained unseen for more than 125 years. They constitute the most comprehensive body of known photographs portraying African sitters in Victorian Britain.
Curated by Renée Mussai.
Presented by Autograph ABP in partnership with UCL’s Institute of Advanced Studies and the Centre for the Study of Contemporary Art.
The installation will be in Autograph ABP’s Black Chronicles Archive Laboratory from 21 September – 1 October 2016 in the second floor gallery.

Boonzaier Gregoire 佈沙爾·格雷瓜爾 (1909-2005) Impressionism South Africans
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Gregoire Johannes Boonzaier (31 July 1909 – 22 April 2005) was a South African artist well known for his landscapes, portraits and still life paintings. He was a famous exponent of Cape Impressionism, a founder of the New Group, and a contributor, through his art works, to the struggle against apartheid.
Gregoire Boonzaier was the fifth child of political cartoonist Daniël Cornelis Boonzaier and his cousin Maria Elizabeth Boonzaier. Early on Gregoire made the acquaintance of the artists Pieter Wenning, Nita Spilhaus, Moses Kottler and Anton van Wouw, all of whom were close family friends.
It was Moses Kottler who first gave Gregoire a box of paints in 1922 and Nita Spilhaus an easel in 1926, igniting a creative flame that was to burn for more than eighty years. Gregoire's father was dead set against a formal training in art and felt that he had more to learn from the artists around him. In 1923 his first two oil paintings were shown at Ashbey's Gallery in Cape Town, simply signed "GREGOIRE". His first one-man exhibition followed two years later – he was to hold more than 100 one-man exhibitions during his painting career.
After an acrimonious confrontation with his father in 1932, Gregoire moved into his own studio in Cape Town and after a successful exhibition visited England in 1934 where he was a student together with Terence McCaw and Frieda Lock at the Heatherley School of Fine Art under Bernard Adams, and training in graphic art techniques at the Central School of Art and Design in London. His early paintings having been strongly influenced by Pieter Wenning, he now absorbed the work of Van Gogh, Cézanne, Utrillo and Braque, and made trips as far afield as Russia, where his socialist leanings are reinforced. He returned three years later to help found the New Group, with Terence McCaw, Frieda Lock, Lippy Lipshitz and others, and served as its first chairman for ten years. The New Group served as a forum and mouthpiece of young South African art for almost 15 years, staging exhibitions throughout the country, and providing rural areas with a glimpse of the new trends in art. He served for six years on the Board of the South African National Gallery, Cape Town.
Boonzaier made Cape Town his base and his subsequent work reflected views of District Six and the Malay Quarter, recording its colourful life. He settled at Onrusrivier, a short distance outside Hermanus. He had been introduced to Onrus shortly after World War II by Uys Krige whose family had holidayed there for many years.
佈沙爾·格雷瓜爾 Gregoire Johannes Boonzaier（1909年7月31日至2005年4月22日）是一位南非藝術家，以風景，肖像和靜物畫而聞名。他是開普印象派的著名代表，是新集團的創始人，也是通過他的藝術作品貢獻反對種族隔離的鬥爭。
格雷瓜爾·佈沙爾是政治漫畫家DaniëlCornelis Boonzaier和他的堂兄Maria Elizabeth Boonzaier的第五個孩子。在Gregoire早期，藝術家Pieter Wenning，Nita Spilhaus，Moses Kottler和Anton van Wouw都認識了，他們都是親密的家庭朋友。
1922年摩西科特勒首先給格雷戈雷一盒油漆，1926年首次給格雷戈斯一個油漆盒，尼塔斯皮爾豪斯則作為一個畫架，點燃了一種創造性的火焰，燃燒超過八十年。 Gregoire的父親對於正式的藝術培訓已經死心塌地，並且覺得他還有更多要向他身邊的藝術家學習。 1923年，他的前兩幅油畫在開普敦的阿什拜畫廊展出，只是簽署了“格雷戈里”。他兩年後的第一次單人展覽 - 他將在他的繪畫生涯中舉辦超過100個展。
在1932年與父親激烈對峙後，Gregoire搬到了開普敦他自己的工作室，1934年成功舉辦展覽後訪問了英格蘭，他與Terence McCaw和Frieda Lock一起在Bernard Adams的Heatherley美術學院學習並在倫敦中央藝術與設計學院接受平面藝術培訓。他早期的繪畫作品受到彼得溫寧的深刻影響，現在他吸收了梵高，塞尚，烏特里略和布拉克的作品，並且在俄羅斯遠赴俄羅斯旅行，在那裡他的社會主義精神得到了加強。三年後，他回到了Terence McCaw，Frieda Lock，Lippy Lipshitz等人，並成為其第一任董事長十年。新集團作為近15年來南非年輕藝術的論壇和喉舌，在全國各地舉辦展覽，並向農村地區瞥見藝術新趨勢。他在開普敦南非國家美術館董事會任職六年。
Boonzaier將開普敦作為他的基地，他的後續工作反映了第六區和馬來區的意見，記錄了其豐富多彩的生活。他定居在赫曼努斯外圍的一個短距離的Onrusrivier。他在二戰後不久被Uys Krige介紹給了Onrus，他的家人在那裡度過了許多年。

FAITH47 Cape Town / South Africa
Quelle:
Faith 47
Initially recognized for her unique graffiti and street art work, Faith 47 is a self-taught artist who draws inspiration from her own intuitive political and existential questions. Her art takes on the form of metaphor. Both abstract and definitive in meaning, plucking at our heartstrings in harmonious and sometimes dark tones as she paints.
Faith's images thrive on broken-down cars and old factories, dusty side roads of lost towns and inner-city alleyways. Her deep affinity with lost spaces allows her to gracefully bring attention to the most honest and humble of environments. Her interactions resonate with our fragility and our elusive relationship with dreams, memory, human interaction and urban decay.
Faith has established herself internationally, exhibiting her work in galleries and participating in projects across the globe. Despite this she remains rooted in South Africa, where the soil is red and her blood feels comfortably and peacefully on edge.
Galleries, art and talent attract thousands in Cape town
And finally, local talent and art are the winners of what has become one of the most popular events in Cape Town. Thousands of people continue to flock to First Thursdays - when entry is free to participating galleries and cultural attractions in the city centre

Studio visit with portrait artist Corné Eksteen
Corné Eksteen is a contemporary painter living and working in Durban, South Africa. His work primarily consists of deconstructed and fractured portraits, which are created using traditions from both figurative and abstract painting, with a central conceptual focus of identity.
‘NEXUS’ is a body of work which explores our understanding of “self” in a world where our definitions of what it means to be human is being shifted by the influence of technology and rapidly shifting social norms. These works are rooted in psychological studies and relate to images normally associated with the Rorschach test. These “rigged portraits” play on the viewer’s instinctive ability to recognize faces and their innate associations with symmetry to create emotive “portraits” and explore the links between the sitter, the artist and the viewer.
In this film, we visit Corné in his studio as he prepares for his solo exhibition NEXUS, opening 7 March 2019 at StateoftheART Gallery in Cape Town.

Safari: The Making Of The best South African moments...
At the centre of The Jupiter Drawing Room JHB's new campaign is the product. The drawings in the ads are done using charcoal from bags of Safari Superior African Charcoal. That's really what makes them unique.
It's the story of Safari Charcoal, as told by the product itself.
Each ad features a glimpse into South African life, as illustrated by Thabang Lehobye. Football captures the vibe just before a big game. Beach is a quiet look at family time on the coast. Mountains is a break away from the rat race with a group of mates. And Township puts us in the middle of a Shisanyama, close enough to smell the wors.
All culminating in the line, The Best South African Moments Are Made With Charcoal.

MOVART Gallery FORTIA SOLO SHOW #ICTAF18
The Angolan MOVART Gallery is among the ten international galleries selected to be in the SOLO Section of the 6th edition of the Investec Cape Town Art Fair, that will take place from the 16th-18th of February at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa. The fair’s curator is South African Tumelo Mosaka.
MOVART will exclusively exhibit work by Angolan artist Keyezua, showing her FORTIA Series in the new “SOLO” section of the fair, curated by visual artist Nontobeko Ntombela. FORTIA is a photographic series that focuses on loss and survival, taking the strong subject of disability and depicting it in a way that is beautiful to talk about.
FORTIA
FORTIA is a project that uses the art of handmade recycled masks and photography to poetically exhibit deficiency and make its observers aware of our implicit bias regarding disability and on how disability can be depicted and exhibited in a way that empowers vulnerable groups, by using art as a manifestation that affirms their human dignity through art.
FORTIA uses a female body to portrait the stories told by Keyezua, a daughter of a disabled man through the hands of a group of disabled men that are alienated from their own society. The project is based on personal experiences that explore sorrow, lost and survival exhibtied in audio conversations between the artist and Tito Cruz, a disabled man that works as an artisan in Luanda, Angola. Each mask gives a sense of a time´s passage. The design contains patterns from tribal drawings using it as a language with its motifs, shape and colours revealing in each mask Keyezua´s identity as an Angolan but also as a Dutch woman in a photographic portrait of an empress in a long red dress that romanticise the existence of disability through the female body inviting its observers to visualize how our society portraits disability emotionally and physically in the arts.
FORTIA´S long process of designing masks with recycled materials, producing audio interviews, videos and installations aims to not exhibit disability as an ugly image that begs for mercy, sorrow, economic dependence but rather as a set of predominant rituals and renewed values as the artists transition.
With its aim to have a final exhibition that exhibits photography, video, audios and installations. FORTIA starts with the story of Keyezua and her father exhibited in the body of an empress. Keyezua designed 4 masks that symbolise 3 to 8 years of her life in prints, colors and shapes.
FORTIA is in honor of the latest days of Keyezua´s father as a disabled man.

A Conversation with Paul Senyol, Cape Town-based painter
This week we speak with painter Paul Senyol. Inspired by the Mission School Art Movement in San Francisco, the Woostercollective, Marc Gonzalez, Ed Templeton, Barry McGee, punk rock music, the way skateboarding & cycling enables him to access the city and books in the City Library, Paul's works celebrate the abstract moments of the image: formal qualities of line, form and hue from the basis of his compositions that evolve through the process of painting
This interview coincides with the opening of 'Polynesia' at Salon 91 in Cape Town. The two-person exhibition of recent paintings by Paul Senyol & Cathy Layzell, explores the islands of Polynesia as its central theme.
