| Exhibition venue 'The Living Artists' Emporium' 3 Buxton Street, 2nd floor, Warehouse Building East, Doornfontein, Johannesburg |
A constantly morphing
exhibition that explores ideas around art, law and the media
opens next month on 11 September in a pop-up event at an inner-city warehouse.
'APPEAL 2012', the culmination of a long-running research project
by artist Elgin Rust, incorporates over its two-week exhibition run the creative
responses of a dozen other artists to existing 'evidence' around notions of the
judiciary and related issues of redress.
Rust says: "Much like a trial gets re-opened for an appeal
where evidence is re-evaluated, the project is re-opened and investigated. And
like a case that goes into an appeal moves between courts, the project now
moves location from Cape Town to Johannesburg."
Invited artists will respond in their chosen medium, ranging from sculpture to video, photography, sound and text. Planned artworks include inflatable sculptures, obsolete surveillance cameras, singing and
graffiti. These will be integrated into the composite installation by
the exhibition close, into what Rust terms a final 'judgement'. The joint
collaborative visual statement regarding emotional transformation will be fully
evident at the exhibition's finissage on 24 September.
Participants include: Catherine Dickerson, Amber-Jade Geldenhuys,
Ansie Greyling, Kai Lossgott, Leroye Malaton, Agnes Marton, Naadira Patel,
Sandile Radebe, Pauline Theart and Marguerite Visser.
The exhibition is facilitated by guerilla gallery, an
artist-led platform that hosts projects in makeshift city spaces. The venue is
courtesy of The Living Artists' Emporium in Doornfontein and 1886, a property development, asset and financing solutions company. The
exhibition is partly sponsored by the National Arts Council.
