  • South African Artists at the Constitutional Court of South Africa
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Decoding Memories: South African Artists at the Constitutional Court of South Africa A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in African Studies by Mary Ann Braubach 2017 © Copyright by Mary Ann Braubach 2017 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Decoding Memories: South African Artists at the Constitutional Court of South Africa by Mary Ann Braubach Master of Arts in African Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor William H. Worger, Chair This paper examines the decoding of the memory of apartheid and post apartheid years of South Africa’s recent history. And it contextualizes how the struggle influenced the visual arts. Also analyzed are the history of the Constitution and Constitutional Court of South Africa. It interrogates the formation of the Constitutional Court art collection. by Justices Albie Sachs and Yvonne Mokgoro for the yet-to-be-constructed Constitutional Court building in Johannesburg. Many donated artworks are responsive both to the anti- apartheid struggles and also to the new democracy. The essay also examines the underlying politic that now hangs in the Constitutional Court building. Select works, that function as signifiers of the new Constitution, are examined. I draw on interviews with South African artists, Court Justices and curators to investigate the role of memory, the archeology of the site, and the significance of the collection to the artists, the Justices, and citizens of South Africans twenty years post apartheid.

The camera was an im- portant tool to Europeans in the appropria- tion of land. In 1858, the Scottish missionary David Livingstone asked his brother Charles to photograph an expedition to the Victoria Falls (which he had “discovered” in 1855). He wanted “to extend the knowledge already attained of the geography and mineral and agricultural resources” there, in the hope that “raw material” might be “exported to England in return for British manufactures”. When those that followed came to depict the land for its own sake, they relied on a vi- sual aesthetic adopted from French art. They did not record the landscape: they “invented” it. Throughout the 19th and early 20th cen- turies, white salon photographers developed an iconography that aimed to reveal a virgin territory whose mountains, plains and tribal inhabitants illustrated the grandeur of the imperial project.

  • Highly Personal Curated by Gary Schneider
    Stephen Daiter Gallery is pleased to present… Highly Personal Curated by Gary Schneider South African Artists Hasan and Husain Essop; David Goldblatt; Pieter Hugo; Donna Kukama; Terry Kurgan; Senzeni Marasela; Nandipha Mntambo; Zanele Muholi; Cedric Nunn; Jo Ractliffe; Mikhael Subotzky and Andrew Tshabangu. ...and Their HandPrint Portraits Gary Schneider I left South Africa in 1977 at the age of 23. In 2011, I returned for my first exhibition there, and began making handprint portraits of South African artists. A Guggenheim Fellowship allowed me to continue the project through 2013. I embarked on the project and traveled widely in order to meet artists and, through them, understand what it means to be a South African artist two decades after the end of apartheid. These handprints do not reveal race, economic status, gender or age. They all follow the same format. I set up a process in which the person is responsible for the information deposited in the film emulsion — it is an assisted self-portrait. The variables are their performance and gesture, the physical shape of the hand, their body chemistry, and their relationship to me. For this exhibition at Stephen Daiter Gallery I have selected the work of thirteen artists — who are all photographers, or artists who use photography — to be exhibited along with their handprint. This is a very small group from the seventy-seven artists published in HandPrints: South African Artists, Fourthwall Books, 2015 which is itself a subset of the more than two hundred handprint portraits I made in South Africa over the three years I spent there.

    List of Abstracts and Information about Speakers Ann Carragher, Blackpool School of Creative Art: Landscape, Liminality and Lament “A borderland is a vague and undetermined place created by the emotional residue of an unnatural boundary” (Anzaldua 2007) My current visual research explores the overlapping and interwoven histories of the landscape in and around the ‘South Armagh/ Louth Border’ (close to the town of Newry, Northern Ireland, where I grew up). This area is also known as and referred to as ’Gap of the North’ and ‘Bandit Country’. Steeped in history and trauma, the political, physical landscape of the area, active and heroic, is well documented and memorialized. Strategically the area was very important as it marked the route into the Kingdom of Ulster, and the Hill of Faughart was the scene of many important battle. I return to ‘record and memorialize’, documenting and focusing on the ‘passive, personal and intimate’. As within this border area, with its bloody and turbulent past exist ‘sacred places’ of prayer and pilgrimage. These are explored through my Fine Art/ interdisciplinary practice (moving image displayed inside ‘watch towers/bird hides’). This particular border area became the ‘expanded space for observation’ engaging in the found cultural context of ‘spaces/places’ suspended between past, present and future. The influential roles of memory, psychology and religion are interwoven in the topography of this fascinating and ‘liminal’ rural landscape. The ‘liminal’ relates to issues regarding Hauntology & Post Conflict Resolution, as the sense of suspicion, paranoia and surveillance is only too evident. The research deals with issues of cultural politics ‘enduring attachment’ (Diaspora), Trauma and Memory, (residual and suspended trauma).
