  • THE TRIANGLE ARTS NETWORK – Contemporary Art and Transnational Production
    THE TRIANGLE ARTS NETWORK – Contemporary Art and Transnational Production by Miriam Aronowicz A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Miriam Aronowicz 2016 The Triangle Arts Network: Contemporary Art and Transnational Production Miriam Aronowicz Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This dissertation presents a historical overview and contemporary analysis of the Triangle Arts Network, an international network of artists and arts organizations that promotes the exchange of ideas and innovation within the contemporary arts. It was established in 1982 through a workshop held in Pine Plains, New York and quickly grew into an international network of artist led workshops around the world. More than twenty years later the network continues to grow and includes a roster of ongoing workshops as well as artist led organizations and centres. This dissertation situates Triangle as a major global phenomenon, yet one that operates outside the mainstream artscapes. My research follows the network’s historical links from Saskatchewan, Canada, to New York and onto South Africa. This web-like evolution demonstrates the complexity of global art networks and the fluidity of boundaries needed for contemporary art discourse. This research explores how the movement of ideas, artists and infrastructures complicate our understanding of clearly defined boundaries within contemporary ii art and globalization. Using Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a metaphor for the Triangle Network, I attempt to unpack the complexities of an art system without objects, a process without product and the entangled relationships between artists, workshops and grassroots models of production.

  • David-Koloane.Pdf
    Goodman Gallery David Koloane Biography David Koloane (1938 – 2019) was born in Alexandra, Johannesburg, South Africa. Koloane spent his career making the world a more hospitable place for black artists during and after apartheid. Koloane achieved this through his pioneering work as an artist, writer, curator, teacher and mentor to young and established artists at a time when such vocations were restricted to white people in South Africa. A large part of this effort involved the initiatives Koloane helped establish, from the first Black Art Gallery in 1977, the Thupelo experimental workshop in 1985 and the Bag Factory Artists’ Studios in 1991, where he served as director for many years. Koloane also tutored at the Federated Union of Black Artists (FUBA) in 1979 and became the head of the fine art section and gallery from 1985 to 1990. Through his expressive, evocative and poetic artwork, Koloane interrogated the socio-political and existential human condition, using Johannesburg as his primary subject matter. Koloane’s representations of Johannesburg are populated with images of cityscapes, townships, street life, jazz musicians, traffic jams, migration, refugees, dogs, and birds among others. Imaginatively treated, through the medium of painting, drawing, assemblage, printmaking and mixed media, Koloane’s scenes are a blend of exuberant and sombre, discernible and opaque pictorial narratives. Koloane’s work has been widely exhibited locally and internationally. In 1999 he was part of the group exhibition _Liberated Voices_ at the National Museum of African Art in Washington DC. In 2013, Koloane’s work was shown on the South African pavilion at the 55th la Biennale di Venezia and on the group exhibition _My Joburg_ at La Maison Rouge in Paris.

  • Tracing the Idea of African Vernacular-Rooted Art: a Critical Analysis of Selected Contemporary South African and Nigerian Artists (2007-2016)
    TRACING THE IDEA OF AFRICAN VERNACULAR-ROOTED ART: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF SELECTED CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICAN AND NIGERIAN ARTISTS (2007-2016) By SULE AMEH JAMES Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DPhil Visual Studies in the FACULTY OF HUMANITIES UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA November 2019 Promoters: Prof. Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie & Dr Rory du Plessis DECLARATION Student number: 16353456 I understand what plagiarism entails and am aware of the University’s policy in this regard. I declare that this thesis is my own, original work. Where someone else’s work was used (whether from a printed source, the internet or any other source) due acknowledgement was given and reference was made according to departmental requirements. I did not make use of another student’s previous work and submit it as my own. I did not allow and will not allow anyone to copy my work with the intention of presenting it as his or her own work. Signature.............................................. Date: 28 November 2019 ii ABSTRACT In this study, I seek to explore how contemporary art created by Nigerian and South African artists can be described to be rooted in an African vernacular. To this end, I conducted a comparative analysis of the cultural imageries and symbolisms of four Nigerian and four South African artists. For each of the artists, five of their works produced between 2007 and 2016 were purposively sampled. Thus, the study investigates forty works within the ten year period. The comparative analysis focuses on visual hermeneutics theory and art historical methodologies (formal analysis). Accordingly, the analysis examines the artists’ personal influences, training, frames of reference, knowledge base and philosophy as well as reception of their works.

  • Allara on Savage, 'Making Art in Africa, 1960-2010'
    H-AfrArts Allara on Savage, 'Making Art in Africa, 1960-2010' Review published on Thursday, July 30, 2015 Polly Savage, ed. Making Art in Africa, 1960-2010. Burlington: Ashgate Publishing, 2014. 304 pp. $80.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-84822-151-2. Reviewed by Pamela Allara Published on H-AfrArts (July, 2015) Commissioned by Jean M. Borgatti In The Marketplace of Creative Exchange Subtitled “Seventy Conversations about Making Art in Africa,”Making Art in Africa is a series of artist’s statements about their work and their participation in artists’ workshops, with prominence given to the international Triangle Artists’ Workshop program initiated by Robert Loder in 1982. However, the book is not a history or chronology of the Triangle workshops, which were documented in the edited anthology Triangle: Variety of Experience Around Artists’ Workshops and Residencies (2007). (Unfortunately neither that text nor Elsbeth Joyce Court’s 2014 Artists and Art Education in Africa are available in Boston-area university libraries). Loder’s introductory essay and the footnotes Savage provides for the essays and each artist’s statement do provide a skeletal historical context for the reader. The premise of the book is that collaboration and networking are central to the creative process, whether in workshops, community centers, or more formal educational settings. The elongated map of Africa that opens the book indicates the many sites mentioned in the text representing not only Triangle workshop locations but also the extensive network of artistic organizations that exist on the continent. Making Art in Africa begins with a forward by Sir Anthony Caro and brief essays by Robert Loder, John Picton, and Polly Savage.

  • Artist Statement
    Artist Statement Anita Dube It started of unexpectedly as one by one some of us were asked if we would participate in International workshops in Zambia, in the U.K., in Namibia, in South Africa, in New York etc. And before we realized it, we were hooked not only on the concept but also to the responsibility of setting up the first one in India using our (happy) experiences and imagining happier one here on home ground which we could tint with our knowledge of a particular context and forge into something significant with our commitment and sheer hard work. This was Khoj '97' our difficult coming together, test of our varying capacities; ideologically synchronous as well as diachronous, but focused towards an autonomous open ended umbrella organization led by artists for artists. Our aim was basically to function as an experimental art laboratory that would bring artists together from different parts of the country, from the sub continent and from around the globe, setting up a cooperative non-hierarchical work situation where dialogue, exchange and transfer of information, energy and skills could take place as an intensely lived experience. Khoj is an emblem of our vision of working together in difficult situations, somehow pushing against the establishment grain under the rubric of creating sensitizing encounters, opening up insularities and closures to address the binary polarizations that have hardened into unchangeable positions both inside and outside. Khoj then is a search that seeks to question through an Art Workshop these divides: The urban vs the provinvial: the post modern vs, the modern: the female: the left vs.
