Jackson Hlungwani in Cape Town…
Cape Townians, don’t miss one of South Africa’s most revered and respected artists – Jackson Hlungwani at Blank – 198 Buitengracht Street in Cape Town (Bo-Kaap). JACKSON HLUNGWANI AT blank projects EXHIBITION OPENS: Wednesday 1 November 2006 at 18h00 (ends Friday 10 November 2006) JACKSON (Jekiseni) HLUNGWANI lives in Mbhokota in Limpopo Province. Hlungwani still works on a… daily basis producing woodcarvings which are dedicated to God. Deeply religious, Hlungwani is also the founder of an independent church called ‘Yesu Geleliya One Apostle in Sayoni Alt and Omega’. Although Hlungwani spent his earlier years working in a mine near Polokwane (then Pietersburg) as well as in Johannesburg (like many migrant labourers from former Gazankulu), he returned to his home at Mbhokota to pursue his religious ministry to which his woodcarvings are devoted. His works are often quirky representations of the divine on earth and references to his own versions of biblical imagery such as a mermaid with long-haired representing Eva (Eve) and Christ Playing Football, both on exhibition. Other works on the exhibition are sambals (carved bowls) walking sticks and staffs and of course the fish which are most closely symbolic of Hlungwani’s works and his Christian beliefs. Although it is clear that Hlungwani has produced prolific works since his emergence in the mid-1980’s when he exhibited in both Tributaries (a BMW sponsored exhibition which travelled to Germany, curated by Ricky Burnett) and The Neglected Tradition (Johannesburg Art Gallery, curated by Steven Sack) and has works in many collections in South Africa and abroad, it is clear that the artist struggles to survive and support his growing extended family. He feels abandoned by the art world who has often exploited him. This exhibition aims to revive Hlungwani’s spirit in Cape Town by recognizing our greatest living treasure from the North, and to give much needed support. (Kathy Coates October 2006) open on Wednesdays from 16h00-19h00 and by appointment blankprojects 198 buitengracht street (Bo-Kaap), Cape Town, blankprojects@gmail.com , contact Liza 083 256 1170 or Jonathan 072 198 9221 NEXT AT blank projects: CAMERON PLATTER (opening on Wednesday 15 November 2006) ===================================== July 2006 Ok… sounds like the mice are out to play while the cats are away…. If you’re into MORSE CODE there’s a night-time flicker at the Blank gallery in the BoKaap… confused?….. We’ll let them explain: James Webb at blank projects In his new untitled work, James Webb has used the blank projects space to create a winter intervention in the neighbourhood. While the gallerists are away for 6-weeks, the empty space will be haunted by faulty electricity resulting in the gallery lights flickering in Morse code. The...
