The Collection Of Works Examines The Tensions Between Notions Of Connection, Deconstruction And Unravelling. On The One Hand, The Same Threads That May Connect Things Can Also Cause Them To Unravel And Be Deconstructed. From A Different Point Of View, Certain Things Might Require Partial Unravelling Or Complete Deconstruction For Them To Form New Connections And Take A New Shape.

𝐋𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝! 𝐈𝐈𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲: 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐤𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐭In This Group Exhibition The Prints Of 15 Historical Landscape Artworks Are Framed As If It Is The Painting Itself. But Instead Of Only Showing The Ways In Which Early Twentieth Century Artists Depicted The Landscape, This Exhibition Also Brings Other Artists To The Conversation. Contemporary South African Artists Were Invited To Depict The Landscape Through Their Own Lens, By Using The Landscape Prints As Art Material Or Reference. Consequently, The Historical Prints Are Positioned In Relation To Contemporary Perspectives Of People Who Currently Reside And Work In The Country, Experience The Landscapes In Different Ways And Notice Different Things. Land Has Multiple, Strong Political, Socio-Economic And Ecological Underpinnings – The Narratives Of Which Are Never Neutral. Shaped By Memories, Myths And Narratives, Land Is An Object And Site Of Dispute.Bringing A Variety Of Artistic And Conceptual Approaches Of More Than 30 Artists Together, Viewers Are Invited To Consider How Representations Of Land Are Always Constructed Rather Than Natural Objective Documentations. Because By Oneself, One Cannot See Everything. As The Russian Philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin Argued, We Need Other People To Show Us What We Cannot See Ourselves. @Dini_Vdw 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐊𝐍𝐊 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐭 Kknk.co.za.

These Reconstructed Images Are Anything But Neutral, Despite The Deadpan Silence Of Their Finely Worked Surfaces. They Are Charged With Discomfort, Disbelief, Displacement And Distance Brought Along By The Passage Of Time. They Chronicle Ordinary Lived Moments Of Individuals, Paused And Rewound, Interrupted Narratives, Lost Stories. It Is Their Very Ordinariness Which Makes Them Extraordinary. @Karinpreller 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐊𝐍𝐊 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐭 Kknk.co.za.

The Winterveld Has Long Been Home To People With Scant Resources And Limited Opportunities To Earn An Income – Trying Circumstances The Project Was Set Up To Address. Indeed 'Mapula' Means 'Mother Of Rain' In Setswana, Connoting The Bringing Of A Harvest And Good Fortune. But Covid-19 Brought With It A New Set Of Challenges In This Community, And That Complicated The Project’s Capacity To Support People.

This Process Is Supported By The Agencies Of The Process Of Making, The Qualities Of The Auras Of Materials, And The Artefact. The Artefact Is Understood Not As A Product, But As A Continuous, Process-Driven Tool That Simultaneously Traces A Path Into, And Out Of, The Inner Realm. @Dirkbahmann @Waynematthews23Skidoo 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐊𝐍𝐊 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐭 Kknk.co.za.
