Zeitz Museum – timeslive Photo Iwan Baan

During this travel adventure I’ve wandered through museums and galleries in different European countries, but South Africa’s Zeitz Museum was always near the top of my list. I missed it in the past but made a point of popping in last week. The first and third floors are being renovated and closed to the public until August. I still saw plenty of incredible art and discovered interesting artists!

MOCAA at Dusk – Heatherwick Studio Photo Iwan Baan

History

Completed in late 2017, Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) is a masterful creation by British architect Thomas Heatherwick. He converted a “century-old grain silo and historical landmark at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront into a world-class art gallery”! The privately-funded Zeitz is not only the largest art museum in Africa but also the largest exhibition in the world “showcasing the art of Africa and its diaspora”.

Thomas Heatherwick Architect – The Architects’ Journal

_____________

“British architect Thomas Heatherwick was inspired to create an art institution on a continent as big as the whole of Europe and North America combined.”

_____________

Jochen Zeitz African Contemporary Art Collector – Segera David Crookes The B Team

The museum’s goal was bringing together works by African artists and “invigorating interest in African contemporary art”. MOCAA does the opposite of what the old grain silo did in the same space.

Koyo Kouoh MOCAA Director and Chief Curator – Zeitz MOCAA

“At the same time the V&A Waterfront was wondering how to develop an iconic, century-old grain silo African contemporary art collector and German businessman, Jochen Zeitz, was looking for a museum to house his collection.”

Zeitz Museum Atrium from Tunnel – timeslive Photo Iwan Baan

Purpose and Design

The Zeitz Museum is dedicated to “researching, collecting, and exhibiting art from the African continent and beyond”. The exhibition space covers 6,000 square meters (almost 65,000 sq. ft.) on nine floors, with 100 gallery spaces.

Zeitz Museum Atrium Vault – timeslive Photo Iwan Baan

_____________

During the old days, “grain was exported outwards from the silo. The MOCAA creates a place where African art can return and from where it will not leak away.”

_____________

Zeitz Museum Interstitial Space – timeslive Photo Iwan Baan

The interior is carved out in the shape of an enlarged grain of corn. The result is a “series of curved concrete lines with light pouring in through the cylindrical silo structures!” The brilliant design gives visitors a spectacular “cross-section view of the inner workings of the old industrial structure”.

Zeitz Museum Atrium – timeslive.co.za Photo Iwan Baan

Curator

Director and Chief Curator, Koyo Kouoh, has 20 years’ experience as an international curator. A native of Dakar Senegal, Kouoh developed art programs and served as curator of contemporary African art in London and New York.

MOCAA Cubist Stairway

Artists

I’m in awe of the many extraordinarily talented, award-winning African artists featured at the MOCAA. It’s slightly intimidating, and I’m still educating myself about African artists like Frances Goodman, Kendell Geers, William Kentridge, and Nicholas Hlobo. Works of a few favorites are detailed and highlighted in this post:

El Anatsui – Ghana

Sory Sanlé – Burkina Faso

Sue Williamson – UK and South Africa

El Anatsui Aluminum and Copper Wire Brooklyn Museum – artefuse.com

_____________

El Anatsui’s work “breaks from the traditional cast of sculptural practice invoking a multi-layered, sensory re-imagining of our material world”. He’s “accomplished one of the very few genuine breakthroughs in contemporary art anywhere in the world today.”

_____________

El Anatsui TSIATSIA – Searching for Connections ruthball.weebly.com

His stunning sculptures appear in the British Museum London, Centre Pompidou Paris, de Young San Francisco, Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Osaka Foundation of Culture Osaka, Tate Modern London, and Museum of Modern Art New York.

Sory Sanlé Burkina Faso

He portrays Bobo-Dioulasso’s people with “wit, energy, and sheer passion”. His background paintings, be they a modern city, beach walk board, airplane, or antique column are outstanding.

Sue Williamson A Few South Africans – Virginia Mngoma

“A Few South Africans (1983-85) is a visual narrative attempt to fill the representational absence of people and events during Apartheid, giving a tangible and iconic visibility to female leaders and women of courage who were active in the fight against Apartheid – Elizabeth Paul, Maggie Magaba, Winnie Mandela, Lilian Ngoyi, Annie Silinga, Nokukhanya Luthuli, Helen Joseph, Albertina Sisulu, Amina Cachalia, Caroline Motsoaledi, Virginia Mngoma, Charlotte Maxeke, and others.”

Mary Sibande Long Live the Dead Queen – ruxandrabp.wordpress.com

Sibande works through an “alter-ego, Sophie, a sculptural figure who traverses the uncanny valleys of liminal space”. Sophie is a symbolic figure speaking for “femininity, blackness, labour, post-coloniality, and communities on the margin as a whole”.

____________

“My work is not complaining about Apartheid, or an invitation to feel sorry for me because I’m black and my mother was a maid. It’s about celebrating what we are as women in South Africa today. For us to celebrate, we need to go back to see what we are celebrating. To celebrate, I needed to bring this maid.” Mary Sibande

_____________

Some of Sibande’s works include:

In the Midst of Chaos There is Opportunity

Long Live the Dead Queen

Resilients

Joana Choumali Hââbré, The Last Generation

Neo Matloga – Tyburn Gallery

Neo Matloga

Born in Limpopo in 1993, Neo Matloga studied at the University of Johannesburg. His work is exhibited locally and internationally and on display in the City of Ekurhuleni, the South African Embassy in Washington DC, and in private collections. Matloga lives in Amsterdam, where he’s a “participating artist at a post-academic institution De Ateliers”.

“Influenced by one of his father’s art quotes, “art should heal psychologically” and the energy projected by South African youth, Matloga rejects limiting himself to specific artistic mediums. His paintings, drawings, and collages are versatile. They explore the Post-Mandela era and “mythic power of Sophiatown, an area outside Johannesburg”.

Neo Matloga

Matloga creates a nostalgic feeling by “collaging objects and materials that reference domestic households”. He produces “fragments of incredible happiness from his upbringing, conversations, and poetic moments he remembers from growing up in a Post-Mandela era.” The “main themes in his work centre around his passion for black people feeling that there is an ability to belong and exist”.

Neo Matloga

_____________

“As the legacy of apartheid persists, with no doubt there were and still are social issues such as crime and moral degradation, but none of this determined the concept of life in its entirety.”

_____________

Neo Matloga

Neo Matloga’s black and white paintings reflect the “domestic, daily life in black households in South Africa” – with a kick. Titles appear in his mother tongue, Sepedi, a language spoken in Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Limpopo provinces. His “cast of characters play out every-day dramas, experiencing the struggles and consolations of desire and intimacy”.

Neo Matloga Hugh Masekela – robynsassenmyview.com

“The people in Matloga’s paintings are ‘moral agents’ who are affected by the socio-economic and political conditions that shape life outside as well as inside the four walls of their homes.” His characters have “outsized eyes, mouths, and ears, skin tone with abrupt changes, hairstyles and hats sit atop the wrong heads, and accessories are often comically misplaced”.

Neo Matloga

_____________

Matloga’s characters are described as “hybrids”. He forms their faces by “collaging together photographic images of friends, family, and famous South African figures from politics and the arts”.

_____________

Neo Matloga

Matloga uses the process of “cutting, reconfiguring, and collaging facial anatomy” for political purposes and to “identify with the racist gaze”. I had to do some research on Matloga’s work to better understand it.

youtube

Neo Matloga solo shows and presentations include:

2019 Neo to Love – Fries Museum, Leeuwarden, Netherlands

2018 Good Morning Midnight curated by Tom Morton – De Ateliers, Amsterdam

2017 Molatelo – Christopher Moller Gallery, SCOPE Art Fair, New York

2016 Moo re Tswang Gona – Christopher Moller Gallery, FNB Joburg Art Fair

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art Cape Town During this travel adventure I've wandered through museums and galleries in different European countries, but South Africa's Zeitz Museum was always near the top of my list.

Cat Marnell's How to Murder Your Life offers a master class in make-up

New Post has been published on https://universeinform.com/2017/03/20/cat-marnells-how-to-murder-your-life-offers-a-master-class-in-make-up/

Cat Marnell's How to Murder Your Life offers a master class in make-up

Beauty editor, social media magnet, privileged birthday celebration woman, tablet pepper, repeat rehabber and now a fine selling writer. Interest-grabbing labels connect themselves to Cat Marnell like glitter but, as she tells Britt Mann, there may be not anything all that glamorous approximately tablets and bulimia.

There’s a picture of Cat Marnell at awards right in Ny Metropolis, in October 2012. She stands pigeon-toed and vacant-gazed before the digital camera, black and blue eyeshadow smudged across her temples; berry colored lipstick smeared over bee-stung lips.

In a single hand, she clutches a highly-priced fur coat, in the other, a chrome rosary. Extremely inexplicably, she has the word “Chinese” daubed in black marker down one forearm, “Democracy” on the other.

Marnell, a former Beauty editor for a number of The USA’s maximum famous women’s guides, changed into at that time writing for the information and culture website, Vice.

Her column – Amphetamine Good judgment – exact her nocturnal debauchery inside the Town that by no means sleeps, in bleak, manic element. They have been so popular they were being translated into German and Italian.

Less than three months after the awards, Marnell penned her very last column for Vice, illustrated with an image of her right hand. It’s accessorized with a callous from a decade of self-induced vomiting and a diamond ring.

Talking by means of a telephone from her Chinatown rental, Marnell says the acclaim she garnered from the column were “magical, nearly a present”, after an entire life of self-loathing. The sector’s media wanted a bit of the wild infant who had a way with words. She becomes more famous than ever.

A Brief History of the American Felony Murder Rule

THE PENNSYLVANIA Homicide GRADING STATUTE

After our American Independence, a number of the new states started out legislative reforms to codify the crime of Murder. One of the earliest states to accomplish that became Pennsylvania. In 1794, that state enacted a Murder degree statute which divided Homicide into first diploma capital Homicide and 2nd diploma Homicide. The Pennsylvania legislature constricted the penalty for felony Murder via enforcing capital punishment only for such felonies as befell inside the perpetration of arson, rape, robbery or housebreaking. The statute similarly furnished that each one Homicide in the state apart from ones committed inside the perpetration of One of the not unusual regulation felonies specified in their diploma statute become to be 2nd-degree Murder.

Later the prison of kidnapping was introduced to the listing of designated felonies for purposes of felony Homicide. simplest first-degree Murder served as a basis for hanging. The Pennsylvania statute did no longer actually formulate a legal Homicide rule or outline the factors of Homicide. Rather the statute identified participation in certain felonies as a grading element that annoyed Homicide legal responsibility. The statute prescribed that: All Homicide, which will be perpetrated by poison, or by means of laying in wait, or via another form of willful, planned and premeditated killing, or which shall be committed in the perpetration or try to perpetrate any arson, rape, robbery, or housebreaking, shall be deemed Homicide inside the first degree; and all other types of Homicide will be Homicide within the 2nd diploma.

The implication of the statute is that Murder in the course of One of the enumerated felonies did not require willful, planned, and premeditated killing. The language of the statute does no longer advise that the mere inflicting of demise within the path of any criminal turned into always Homicide. This concept is a good deal extra in line of what Lord Hale turned into presenting in his writings on the stop of the 17th century and is just like Choose Stephen’s jury training inside the Serene case: that it might be Homicide best if the felonious act become recognised to be risky to lifestyles and probable to purpose death. The word “deemed” inside the statute implies the perception that a Judge or jury ought to weigh the facts of the case and determine whether or not the behavior of an accused warranted a fee of Murder for which the accused may be changed.

The Pennsylvania statute was fairly influential, shaping murder reform statutes in two-thirds of the then existing states for the duration of the nineteenth century. Twelve states followed Pennsylvania’s grading scheme with very little modification, the states which adopted the Pennsylvania statute as drafted were: Virginia in 1796, Kentucky from 1798 to 1801, Maryland in 1810, Louisiana from its admission in1812 to 1855, Tennessee in 1829, Michigan in 1838, Arkansas in 1838, New Hampshire in 1842, Connecticut in 1846, Delaware in 1852, Massachusetts in 1858, and West Virginia, getting into the Union with one of these statute in 1863.

Living Thankfully Within the Theatre of Life

If revel in is set wealth, then I’m a totally rich character.” – Dr. Gregory Smith (former sociopath)

As I sat there looking the Yr 4 students as they were led via a drama elegance, the trainer taught them an element of drama that I in no way earlier than knew. The drama revolves around a problem – if there’s no hassle then there’s no story, no narrative, nothing stimulating to pique the onlooker’s interest.

Dr. Gregory Smith is a very exciting person. His tale, right here. A person who grew up inside the dramatic horrors of domestic violence,

Changed into orphaned, convicted of arson but relieved of the load of deciding to buy that crime due to motives of temporary madness; who lived in a woodland for ten years. Subsequently, in his late Nineteen Forties, he got here upon an epiphany. He found out something that grew to become his global upside down (as if he hadn’t already lived an the other way up existence).

Smith learned that his severe delinquent patterns of behavior were because of the reality he was preventing himself all along. He became primary to his personal issues.

That spoke to me. It reminded me of an epiphany I had with the Lord on July 7, 2015. Having found out this powerfully fundamental and paradoxical truth – that after we admit we’re the trouble handiest then are we unfastened to offer our own answers – Smith became Eventually capable of commencing the wrestle of reconciling the drama of his astonishingly theatrical life.

Whilst we Sooner or later find out that problems are inherently part of the theater that existence is, we’re located to go beyond our troubles thru the provision of solutions, which couldn’t come in any other case.

The theater of life is handiest thrilling, and best inspires passion, Whilst we’ve issues to overcome. See how problems are basically a part of God’s plan?

Accept that troubles are part of life and, with passion, top you for adventure.

Whilst we take this approach, thankfulness informs our narrative, gratitude emerges, and, as men and women, we thrive.
