About this time last year I had the privilege of having my work take up the Orangery at the Château de Chamarande for three months. Unfortunately, given the situations, the show was closed to the public for the entire run. I'm super happy to have the installation up again so folks can experience it this time around... 29 Jan to 27 March at the Domaine Dèpartmental de Chamarande ☺️ :::For those in or around the Paris region::: (at Domaine départemental de Chamarande) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZY6-z1M6lw/?utm_medium=tumblr

South Atlantic Hauntings

For the last while I have been in the throws of a PhD. I was writing as well as making art which was the site of my theoretical enquiry. The writing may yet become something more in the world, but for now I can share  the creative work, or the documentation of it. This link will take you there…  https://southatlantichuntings.squarespace.com/

'The Johannesburg Art Gallery (JAG) sits forlorn in the midst of Johannesburg as a shadow of its former grandeur. The vocabulary of its architecture, the bulk of its sandstone frame with entablature and great pillars, carry a nostalgia for the empire on whose back and in whose image it was built. The museum sits quiet and almost forgotten, an island of sad neglect in the centre of a city overflowing with life around it. In 2014, I presented an art installation at JAG as part of the group exhibition So Long: Tag For JAG that was staged in the basement of the building for one night. The show was curated by “Two by Two” art studios, an art space focussed on street art and graffiti. This show, which consisted primarily of graffiti work, privileged the subversive and transient nature of this form of street art to engender a conversation about the role of the institution in the contemporary urban space it seems so alien within. Although the video installation I presented differed in form from the other works on display, they were analogous in their questioning of the ideology that shaped the structure we found ourselves in. The work marked the beginnings of a creative exploration that I would develop over the next three years under the framework of my PhD research project.' - excerpt from a forthcoming publication...

Artist and filmmaker Kitso Lynn Lelliott on disrupting knowledge hierarchies – From the Bubblegumclub

Michel-Rolph Trouillot in his book Silencing the Past: The Power and the Production of History interrogates ideas about the history and pastness, demonstrating how positions of power silence certain voices from History. He points to how oppressive, destructive and inhuman interpretations of people of colour led to colonial powers not being able to imagine histories or a History that could be…
