    Ernest Mancoba Aicon Gallery Exhibition February 23rd – March 25th, 2017 Press Preview & V.I.P. Reception: Thursday, February 23rd 6:00pm – 8:00pm 35 Great Jones St., New York NY 10012 Aicon Gallery is proud to present the first major New York solo exhibition by renowned South African artist Ernest Mancoba. Ernest Mancoba (1904- 2002) was born and raised as a black man under the South African apartheid system. In 1938 he moved to Paris to be able to study, work, and especially, to think freely as an artist. At the end of World War Two, Mancoba moved to Denmark with his wife, artist Sonja Ferlov-Mancoba, where they would both become founding members of the COBRA avant- garde art movement. The COBRA doctrine was comprised in part by a stress on the absolute freedom of form and color with a focus on spontaneity and experiment, a reaction against the prevailing tenets of Surrealism, and inspiration drawn from children’s drawings and “primitive art.” Mancoba’s work represents a unique synthesis of modern European art and African spirit. His goal was to bring to European art his deep understanding of African culture, represented by the frequently appearing totems in his drawings and paintings that reflect the humanist Ubuntu philosophy, which developed in Southern Africa and stresses “the belief Ernest Mancoba, Untitled (1), 1985, Oil on canvas, 31.5 x 25.5 in.

EN The Landscape of African Art: Transformations at the Venice Biennale 1 The Landscape of African Art: Transformations at the Venice Biennale Dagara Dakin Translation : Phoebe Clarke “Although I try and put things into perspective, I believe that the reason I have become so spiritually foreign to my native country, while remaining preoccupied by it – while it remains a preoccupation –, is for a great part its refusal to acknowledge the existence of this skull.”1 1 The Venice Biennale, to a greater extent than any other international event, offers a summary of the current global art scene, which could opportunely be re-questioned regarding the visibility of contemporary African art. Throughout the 1990s, the scant participation of African artists in the ritual art gathering was interpreted as the sign of the Western scene’s lack of open-mindedness.

  • Salah M. Hassan African Modernism
    Salah M. Hassan African Modernism: Beyond Alternative Modernities Discourse African Modernism and Art History’s Exclusionary Narrative On October 25, 2002, South African artist Ernest Mancoba, a pillar of modern African art, passed away in a hospital in Clamart, a suburb of Paris. He was ninety- eight. With a life that spanned most of the twentieth century, Mancoba had lived through the high periods of modern- ism and postmodernism. A few months before Mancoba’s passing, I was extremely fortunate to have received an extended interview by Hans Ulrich Obrist, submitted for publication to Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art, which I edit. The interview was eventually published in 2003 and was indeed one of the most inspiring texts that I have read in years.1 However, why should Mancoba’s life and his artistic accomplishments be instructive in exploring African modernity and modernism? To be sure, it is not the mere coincidence of his thinking about European modernism or the sig- nificance of Europe, where Mancoba lived and worked for more than fifty years. Mancoba is memorable for his remarkable life of creativity, for his intellectual vigor, for his unique and pro- South Atlantic Quarterly 109:3, Summer 2010 DOI 10.1215/00382876- 2010- 001 © 2010 Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/south-atlantic-quarterly/article-pdf/109/3/451/470354/SAQ109-03-01HassanFpp.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 452 Salah M.

  • PR Mancoba January 2014
    16 January – 22 February 2014 EWS – ERNEST MANCOBA, WONGA MANCOBA, SONJA FERLOV MANCOBA STEVENSON CAPE TOWN is pleased to present an exhibition in partnership with Galerie Mikael Andersen, Copenhagen and Berlin, of works from the Estates of Ernest Mancoba, his wife Sonja Ferlov and their son Wonga. When Sonja Ferlov Mancoba wrote letters from her and her family, she always signed them with the letters EWS – for Ernest, Wonga and Sonja. It is these three letters that give the exhibition its title and theme. Mancoba is arguably the most important modern artist from South Africa, and perhaps Africa, yet unlike some of his contemporaries like Gerard Sekoto, his work has not received widespread critical revaluation. The British artist and activist Rasheed Araeen, in a keynote address to the South African Visual Arts Historians in 2008, described Mancoba as one of the most important artists in any genealogy of African modernism: [H]e is Africa’s most original modern artist, but, more importantly, he enters the space of modernism formed and perpetuated by the colonial myth of white racial supremacy and superiority and demolishes it from within. Ernest Mancoba was born in 1904 in Johannesburg, and died in 2002 in Paris, France. He trained as a teacher in Pietersburg, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Fort Hare. In 1938 he left South Africa for Paris, where he studied at the École des Arts Décoratifs. The outbreak of World War II prevented him from leaving Paris and, in 1940, Ernest was interned by the Germans in St Denis where he married Danish artist Sonja Ferlov in 1942.

    LOST LOOSE AND LOVED FOREIGN ARTISTS IN PARIS 1944-1968 The exhibition Lost, Loose, and Loved: Foreign Artists in Paris, 1944–1968 concludes the year 2018 at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía with a broad investigation of the varied Parisian art scene in the decades after World War II. The exhibition focuses on the complex situation in France, which was striving to recuperate its cultural hegemony and recompose its national identity and influence in the newly emerging postwar geopolitical order of competing blocs. It also places a particular focus on the work of foreign artists who were drawn to the city and contributed to creating a stimulating, productive climate in which intense discussion and multiple proposals prevailed. Cultural production in a diverse, continuously transforming postwar Paris has often been crowded out by the New York art world, owing both to a skillful exercise of American propaganda that had spellbound much of the criticism, market, and institutions, as well as later to the work of canonical art history with its celebration of great names and specific moments. Dismissed as secondary, minor, or derivative, art practices in those years, such as those of the German artist Wols, the Dutch artist Bram van Velde, or the Portuguese artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, to name just a few, lacked the single cohesive image that the New York School offered with Abstract Impressionism and its standard bearer, Jackson Pollock. In contrast, in Paris there existed a multitude of artistic languages and positions coexisting

  • Curators' Series #8 All of Us Have a Sense of Rhythm
    CURATORS’ SERIES #8 ALL OF US HAVE A SENSE OF RHYTHM 05.06.2015 – 01.08.2015 INTRODUCTION It is a great pleasure to welcome eighth guest curator Christine Eyene and her ambitious and original exhibition All Of Us Have A Sense Of Rhythm to DRAF. This is, to my knowledge, the first exploration of the lineage of African rhythmic sources in modernist and contemporary practices, thanks to Eyene’s scholarship and personal dedication in its research. The exhibition encompasses sculpture, dance, poetry, video, performance, sound and music. It traces the cadences of modern masters (John Cage, Langston Hughes), popular subcultures (Northern Soul, drum’n’bass) and a contemporary generation of London African diaspora artists (Larry Achiampong, Evan Ifekoya). We look forward to welcoming visitors to this exciting show and concurrent programme of talks and live performances. DRAF is a factory for new prototypes to present and engage with art, and since 2009 exhibitions by international independent curators have introduced new forms to the space and our London audience. We have been particularly proud to present with them works of art from different continents, generations, practices and ideologies, many of which had never been previously displayed in the UK. The depth of their research, their individual curatorial sensibilities and the broad networks of artists and collaborators they have involved have made an invaluable contribution to our programme. Our guests have brought much to the household, and we have both enjoyed and learned from these collaborations. Our thanks to previous Curators’ Series participants, all of whom remain part of the family.

He attended school and university in Pietermaritzburg, graduating from the then University of Natal with a BA.LLB in 1972. At University, he met one of the founders of Afrapix, Paul Weinberg, who was also studying law. In 1975 he joined a commercial studio in Pietermaritzburg, Eric’s Studio, as an apprentice photographer. In 1977 he joined The Natal Witness as a photographer/reporter, and in 1979 moved to the Rand Daily Mail as a photographer. In 1979, Alfers was offered a position as Photographer/Fieldworker at the National University of Lesotho on a research project, Analysis of Rock Art in Lesotho (ARAL) which made it possible for him to evade further military service. The ARAL Project ran for four years during which time Alfers developed a photographic recording system which resulted in a uniform collection of 35,000 Kodachrome slides of rock paintings, as well as 3,500 pages of detailed site reports and maps.
