THE BOOK AWARD FOR 2013 IS TO BE AWARDED TO:

Sonja Loots, School of Languages and Literatures, (Afrikaans Division) for: Sirkusboere

Sirkusboere tells the story, based on astounding fact, of a group of traumatized, maimed and penniless veterans of the South African War (1899 – 1902) who were recruited in the aftermath of the war by legendary circus owner Frank Fillis to participate in a bizarre military spectacle at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. Known as the Boer War Circus, it became one of the most popular events at the Fair.

The dazzling cast of characters include the flamboyant but feckless general Ben Viljoen, locked in bitter conflict with a mean-spirited, tight-fisted and vainglorious general Piet Cronjé. Cronjé’s forlorn black agterryer Fenyang Mokeyane follows him everywhere and is watched by a brooding, heart-broken Geronimo, who is being exhibited as a sideshow in the shadow of the Ferris wheel. The meticulously researched Sirkusboere is a story about trauma, diaspora, showbiz, freakery, racial discrimination, loss, displacement, rollercoasters and sport – a wild bronco ride in history’s rodeo.

42 43 THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD

The University Creative Works Award recognises the production of outstanding and/or influential creative works (art works, performances, productions, compositions, architectural design) that make a scholarly contribution.

Lucas Johannes van der Schijff “Community Punching Bags” or “CPBs” project

The “Community Punching Bags” or “CPBs” project¬ is an artwork by Johann van der Schijff, in collaboration with art teachers and high school learners from and around Cape Town. The exhibition presents a satirical commentary on South Africa’s obsession with racial classification and underlying xenophobia. Inspired by artwork in which the community played a central part in its realisation, this project aims to show that issues often not spoken about openly – such as those that deal with violence, ‘the other’, stereotyping, discrimination, racism, xenophobia and human rights – can be addressed in a collaborative and creative way through the making of art.

The CPBs was exhibited at the Iziko South African National Gallery Annexe in Cape Town from May to June 2012 and at the KZNSA Gallery in Durban during July 2012. The collaborating art teachers and Grade 10 learners were from Livingstone High School (Claremont), Camps Bay High, Heideveld Senior Secondary School, Fish Hoek High, and Isilimela High School (Langa). The project and accompanying exhibitions were well received and as a result the CPBs project is currently being replicated in Kwazulu-Natal with a new set of workshops and participating urban and rural schools around Durban.

The initial overall project consisted of five phases: Involving high school art teachers from the greater Cape Town area, Phase 1 consisted of Saturday morning workshop sessions (in 2011) to develop cut-out designs/ collages with the art teachers; In Phase 2 of the project, local leather artisans crafted the cut-out designs/ collages into actual punching bags; Phases 3 and 4 replicate Phases 1 and 2, but with the teachers passing their CPBs workshop skills to the schoolchildren (in 2011 and 2012). Phase 5 was a major exhibition that consisted of the drawings, paper cut-outs/collages and punch bag sculptures that emanated from the workshops.

Van der Schijff’s work and iconography draws on art that relies on viewer participation, chance and the absurd. The project – at its core involving participation from both the makers and the viewers – is therefore an unpredictable process open to chance and serendipity that reveals itself as it unfolds. It is neither a scientific nor a pedagogical exercise, but is a conceptual artwork – it does not aim to provide definite answers to the questions it poses, but remains open to interpretation.
