    HOW LATITUDES BECOME FORMS JUST HOW DID LATITUDES BECOME FORMS? ON MARCH 7, 2002, Philippe Vergne, Douglas Fogle, Olukemi Ilesanmi, and Aimee Chang engaged in a roundtable discussion of the Walker Art Center’s global initiative and the mounting of the exhibition How Latitudes Become Forms: Art in a Global Age.1 Following is an edited version of that conversation. Aimee Chang: Let’s start with the title of the show … Philippe Vergne: It was the result of a process that started with a discussion about what the exhibition should be and whether or not we should look at a specific theme. We went through many, many options; Once Upon a Place and Total Architecture were two early possibilities. Douglas Fogle: When we first started organizing the exhibition, we used the notion of “metropole” as a struc- turing principle, relating to the cities we were visiting, but that quickly fell out as a strategy. PV: Another idea was to use the show as a reflection of how art practice changes when we change locations. We tried The Third Place, making a distinction between place and space, after the theory of Homi Bhabha.2 We tried Globalism, using that word like the word modernism to see if a comparable shift could be identified in the development of late twentieth-century art. None of these initial ideas were completely satisfying. In the end, we did not want the show to be about a specific theme, to illustrate a theme. We wanted to keep our eyes and minds as open as possible when we were traveling and identifying artists.

    ART AT THE SILO HOTEL A BRIEF HISTORY The history of Africa is the history of being plundered for its most valuable resources. This was exemplified by the original grain silo building in Table Bay from which grain was exported to Europe. The new building represents a showcase retaining Africa’s greatest creative resources. The building itself can be seen as a work of art, offering it’s beautifully reimagined structure as an industrial canvas that highlights the very best of African art and design. “I have always included wonderful art at each of The Royal Portfolio properties.

    Strategies of Representation: South African Photography of the HIV Epidemic Annabelle Wienand Supervisor: Professor Michael GodbyTown Co-supervisor: Professor Nicoli Nattrass Cape Thesis presentedof for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Visual and Art History Michaelis School of Fine Art University of Cape Town University February 2014 University of Cape Town The copyright of this thesis vests in the author.

Cape Published by the University ofof Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University This thesis is dedicated to Michael Godby and Nicoli Nattrass Abstract This thesis is concerned with how South African photographers have responded to the HIV epidemic. The focus is on the different visual, political and intellectual strategies that photographers have used to document the disease and the complex issues that surround it. The study considers the work of all South African photographers who have produced a comprehensive body of work on HIV and AIDS. This includes both published and unpublished work. The analysis of the photographic work is situated in relation to other histories including the history of photography in Africa, the documentation of the HIV epidemic since the 1980s, and the political and social experience of the epidemic in South Africa. The reading of the photographs is also informed by the contexts where they are published or exhibited, including the media, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and aid organisations, and the fine art gallery and attendant publications.

The Networking Tours of the International Summer Academy of Fine Arts and Media Venice are specially designed to build up these contacts. In 2011 we arranged a tour to New York. 2014 we arrange one to Johannes- burg/South Africa. The program is, to meet the most prominent artists of South Africa, have studio visits, as well as to communicate with them on the basis of our own work.

This means that there will be studio visits from February 10th to 15th and studio work from February 16th to 18th. The final event will be the exhibition of the own art works and a plenary discussion together with most prominent gallery owners of South Africa. The accommodation as well as the studio will be at the Maboneng precinct, a newly developed area for art and business: www.mabonengprecinct.com Preliminary Program Monday, February 10th 2014 4.00 - 6.00pm: Before 1.00pm: Arrival and check in David Goldblatt 01.00 - 2.00pm: Santu Mofokeng Lunch at “Canteen” / Arts on Main. 8.00 - 10.00pm: 4.00 - 6.00pm: Dinner at the market theatre restaurant.
