  • Monuments and Museums for Post-Apartheid South Africa
    Humanities 2013, 2, 72–98; doi:10.3390/h2010072 OPEN ACCESS humanities ISSN 2076-0787 www.mdpi.com/journal/humanities Article Creating/Curating Cultural Capital: Monuments and Museums for Post-Apartheid South Africa Elizabeth Rankin Department of Art History, University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 5 February 2013; in revised form: 14 March 2013 / Accepted: 21 March 2013 / Published: 21 March 2013 Abstract: Since the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa has faced the challenge of creating new cultural capital to replace old racist paradigms, and monuments and museums have been deployed as part of this agenda of transformation. Monuments have been inscribed with new meanings, and acquisition and collecting policies have changed at existing museums to embrace a wider definition of culture. In addition, a series of new museums, often with a memorial purpose, has provided opportunities to acknowledge previously marginalized histories, and honor those who opposed apartheid, many of whom died in the Struggle. Lacking extensive collections, these museums have relied on innovative concepts, not only the use of audio-visual materials, but also the metaphoric deployment of sites and the architecture itself, to create affective audience experiences and recount South Africa’s tragic history under apartheid. Keywords: South African museums; South African monuments; cultural capital; transformation; Apartheid Museum; Freedom Park 1. Introduction This paper considers some of the problems to be faced in the arena of culture when a country undergoes massive political change that involves a shift of power from one cultural group to another, taking South Africa as a case study.

  • Research Report
    Research Report Beginning with Criticism: An Analysis of the First Four Volumes of Art South Africa Candidate Name: Clarissa Snapper Student Number: 0514950k Degree: Master’s by Coursework and Research Report in History of Art Faculty: Humanities, Social Science and Education Supervisor: Professor Anitra Nettleton Abstract: Art South Africa is currently the leading, professionally published art magazine in South Africa. The magazine plays an important role in the dissemination of art discourse and art news and is the only ongoing, printed forum devoted exclusively to South African contemporary art. In this paper I will be looking at Art South Africa to describe the type of art texts it presents and the particular position it has taken in the contemporary art world of South Africa. In doing this I will be analysing the magazine to register the types of writing and other information in formats such as art news, exhibition reviews, artist bios, interviews and even advertising. This paper will also be analysing selected texts to determine the key issues that are represented and the way those issues have been represented with a critical position. Looking at Art South Africa from many angles will show that criticality is one of the magazine’s ideological aims and though the magazine’s format changes over time, it has continually sought to engage its readers in critical discourse.

  • South African Family Stories Reflections on an Experiment in Exhibition Making
    Bulletin 378 Tropenmuseum South African family stories Reflections on an experiment in exhibition making Paul Faber, Ciraj Rassool, Leslie Witz Contents 5 Preface 7 Making the Family Stories exhibition Paul Faber 65 Making South Africa in the Netherlands Ciraj Rassool & Leslie Witz 95 Family stories Neo Malao 97 Reviews of the exhibition 105 Reviews of the book 111 Notes 115 Literature 119 About the authors Preface On 3 October 2002 the Tropenmuseum (Royal Tropical Institute Museum) Amsterdam presented an exhibition called Group Portrait South Africa: Nine Family Histories (Familieverhalen uit Zuid Afrika: Een Groepsportret) (see ill. 1). Twelve months and over 100.000 visitors later the exhibition went to the National Cultural History Museum in Pretoria, South Africa, where it opened on 31 March 2003. The exhibition was extended twice before being dismantled in July 2007. In many ways it was an experimental and risky exhibition and it is remarkable that the management team at the Tropenmuseum endorsed this project. Museum staff did not know the scope and had no insight into collection that would be shown, i.e., what type of objects, what type of new art works would be created during the process. Moreover, the large financial investment caused them to have occasional doubts about the entire process. In hindsight one can argue about the effective result, but the process itself was most enlightening. I learned much during the process and find myself going over it again and again. Apart from being a fascinating work experience, it was a highly personal adventure, too. I met dozens of fantastic people, some of whom will stay friends forever.

  • Professor Sandra Klopper Curriculum Vitae
    Professor Sandra Klopper Curriculum Vitae Narrative Prof Sandra Klopper is currently Dean of the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Pretoria. She did her undergraduate studies at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she obtained her Honours in Art History (cum laude) in 1978. Her MA, from the University of East Anglia, was on Art and Social Reform. She lectured in Art History at the University of the Witwatersrand from 1981 to 1988, where she also obtained her PhD, which traces the socio-political histories of various traditionalist art forms from present-day northern KwaZulu-Natal. She was appointed as lecturer (specialising in African art) at the University of Cape Town in 1989. While at UCT, she was promoted to Senior Lecturer, then Associate Professor, before accepting an appointment as Head of Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch in June 2001. Following her subsequent appointment as Vice Dean: Arts (Drama, Fine Arts and Music) at that university in January 2006, she accepted an additional appointment as Acting Head of the Music Department in mid-2006. She was appointed by the University of Pretoria as Dean of the Faculty of Humanities in October 2008, after being approached to apply for this position in early 2008. Prof Klopper has written extensively on the traditionalist art of southern African communities, including the expressive culture of migrant labourers and their families; on African fashion, textiles and beadwork; on various aspect of contemporary South African youth culture; and on the work of several contemporary South African artists. She has collaborated with photographer Peter Magubane on the publication of three books and has served on the editorial boards of African Arts (UCLA) and NKA: Journal of Contemporary African Art (Cornell).

  • A Certain South Africanness
    A Certain South Africanness Artists differ from one another, and create their art in different ways. But everywhere in the world – and the world is big – contemporary, internationally operating artists refer to the past of their own local history and culture. Things are scarcely different in South Africa. In some instances these references relate to many centuries ago, as the history of art and the origins of mankind could well have begun in southern Africa. Could this long history be at the roots of A Certain South African-ness? Is there actually something that is typically South African? Something that is shared throughout all population groups of The Rainbow Nation? Something that can be compared with a concept such as ‘the typical Low Countries’ ‘sky’ and the attention to ‘everyday life’ in Dutch art? In trying to answer this question one is immediately confronted with a major problem: namely that one cannot speak of just one history of South African art. There are many histories, and to make things more difficult these are also subject to constant rewriting. This is particularly true for the last twenty years, in which our perception of the history of South African art has been completely overturned by the abolition of apartheid. And there are still many books to be written. A great deal of research must still be carried out, because most of the literature goes no further back than one hundred years. Furthermore, whilst one can find bookshelves full of material about white artists such as David Goldblatt, William Kentridge, Claudette Schreuders and Jane Alexander, publications about black artists such as Jackson Hlungwani, Dumeli Feni and Sidney Kumalo can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

I had proposed to look at how white people, people socialised as white, in South Africa, could respond to the critiques around whiteness that have been raised strongly in the last few years. I now propose to do this by looking critically at how white bodies have been depicted in my own paintings and those of white South Africans in the canon of post-apartheid “high” art, because these show a response to feeling implicated/ashamed. Having done this research, I have been able to see similarities in these artists’ works and a body of work I begun in 2015 – so I am going to show that body of work while unpacking the contexts and concepts that have led me to critique it. I’ll then look at the works of well-known artists that to some extent have informed my own thinking in ways that need to be I want to borrow Sara Ahmed’s idea of re-examined.

  • Modern and Contemporary African Art Loyola University, New Orleans Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:55-6:05Pm Instructor: Allison K. Yo
    Last updated: January 7, 2018 Modern and Contemporary African Art Loyola University, New Orleans Mondays and Wednesdays, 4:55-6:05pm Instructor: Allison K. Young Email: [email protected] Location: Monroe 628 Course Description: This course surveys the diverse production of African artists working on the continent and across its diasporas, from the era of decolonization through the present. We will chart the development of post-colonial Modernism in art that emerged alongside independence movements in nations such as Nigeria and Senegal in the mid-20th century, examine the role of visual art during the Apartheid era in South Africa, and explore major themes in contemporary artistic production by artists living across the African diaspora. We conclude with an in-depth survey of leading artists working in diverse modalities today, such as Julie Mehretu, Wangechi Mutu, Yinka Shonibare MBE, and others whose practices employ strategies of abstraction and conceptualism to explore issues surrounding migration, gender and sexual identity, post-colonial politics and other contemporary concerns. Learning Outcomes and Objectives By the end of term, students should: • Think critically: o Evaluate evidence o Form conclusions based on empirical data and logical reasoning o Synthesize ideas into a coherent argument • Communicate effectively: o Formulate a position in written and oral communication o Demonstrate cogent reasoning in analysis o Express positions from multiple points of view • Use information literacy skills: o Find information relative
