Still screen of the documentary made by Simon Gush in collaboration with James Cairns
In July 1990 National Union of Metalworkers South Africa (Numsa) presented Nelson Mandela with a red Mercedes-Benz 500 SE. The car was a present that had been built by the workers at the Mercedes Benz factory in East London. The workers had donated their time, while management had agreed to supply them with the parts. The car summed up many of the aspirations and tensions of an important transitional moment in South Africa. Despite the success of the car, the tensions between management and workers escalated and resulted in a wildcat sleep-in strike that closed production at the factory. The strikers used upholstery materials to create beds and uniforms, which were used during the sleep-in. Red examines the larger political and social story of the car and the strike that followed. The exhibition is made up of installation elements by Simon Gush and Mokotjo Mohulo, as well as a new documentary. It was made in collaboration with James Cairns, and follows story lines of individuals who were directly involved. A special screening of the documentary will be presented at the auditorium of the Goethe-Institut on 17 May at 11.00. Simon Gush has exhibited widely in South Africa and abroad, and with this exhibition continues his interest in the thematic of work.
PHOTOGRAPHY
ANOTHER COUNTRY BY REINER LEIST
18/04/2014 – 13/07/2014 OPENING RECEPTION 11/05/2014, 16H00 JOHANNESBURG ART GALLERY Photographer Reiner Leist emigrated from West Germany to South Africa in 1988, where he stayed until he took up residence in the United States in 1994. During his time in South Africa – which constituted a significant period of transition to democracy – he started taking portraits of ordinary and extraordinary South Africans. Fifteen years later Leist returned in search of these individuals to take a second set of images for the photographic essay Another Country. According to the artist: “Since the late eighties, more than 200 South Africans have shared their perspectives on the country and their personal histories with me. These narratives have had a large impact on my view of the world, and influenced me in my professional capacity. Starting in 1988, the participants were invited to collaborate with me in the publication South Africa: Blue Portraits, which was published in 1993, just before the nation’s first democratic elections. Each person was asked to choose a background for a portrait in black and white; 73 of these were included in the final publication. In 2009 I began to revisit the participants in order to find out how their living circumstances had changed since our last discussion, through the lens of the original photographs. The new narratives form the content and the inspiration for Another Country, the follow up publication. In Another Country, black-and-white portraits are followed by new colour portraits of the participants or, in some cases, of surviving sons or daughters, a grandson, a new bearer of an office or position, or a visitor to the same site. The images are accompanied by edited versions of new interviews. In the editing process, I tried to preserve a sense of the words as spoken, and to offer the reader an experience as listener, in a bound collection of the visual and verbal stories of many of my teachers. I remain a student of their humanity and of the South African landscape.” The book Another Country is published by Jacana and accompanies the exhibition at the Johannesburg Art Gallery.

SHORT FILMS
AFRICAN METROPOLIS
FROM 09/05/2014: THE BIOSCOPE INDEPENDENT CINEMA, JOHANNESBURG FROM 30/05/2014: LABIA THEATRE, CAPE TOWN
African Metropolis is a compilation of six short fiction films, set in six major African cities, a unique partnership towards new African cinema. The films from Abidjan, Cairo, Dakar, Johannesburg, Lagos and Nairobi tell urban tales about life in African metropolises. After the world premiere at last year’s Durban International Film Festival and festival screenings in Africa, North America and Europe, African Metropolis is being shown to a South African audience for the first time. The South African contribution to the short film project, directed by Vincent Moloi, tells the story of an ageing white man dealing with the demographical changes happening in Berea, Johannesburg. The African Metropolis Short Film Project is an initiative of the GoetheInstitut South Africa and executive producer Steven Markovitz, with
support from Guaranty Trust Bank and the Hubert Bals Fund of International Film Festival Rotterdam. More information on www.goethe. de/africanmetropolis. For screening times, please visit www.thebioscope.co.za (JHB) and www.labia.co.za (CT)

EUROPEAN FILM FESTIVAL
09/05/2014 – 18/05/2014 CINEMA NOUVEAU THEATRES IN CAPE TOWN, DURBAN, JOHANNESBURG & PRETORIA. SCREENINGS OF BARBARA IN JHB: 10/05, 20H00. 13/05, 14H30. 15/05, 17H30
Still screen of “Barbara” by Christian Petzold
The revived European Film Festival (EUFF 2014) presents ten internationally acclaimed films from ten of the most exciting European directors of the moment. All ten films will be screened for the first time in South Africa, and deal in different ways with the theme of the Festival – Beyond Love. The EUFF will be shown exclusively at Cinema Nouveau theatres and will run concurrently in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Pretoria. The film programme includes: Paradise: Love (Austria), The Broken Circle Breakdown (Belgium), The Hunt (Denmark), Stranger by the Lake (France), The Great Beauty (Italy), Tabu (Portugal), Child’s Pose (Romania), Living is Easy with Eyes Closed (Spain) and Le Week-End (United Kingdom). The German film on the programme is Barbara. Christian Petzold’s film, awarded the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival 2012, is a quiet, unexcited film with great attention to detail, offering a very exact picture of life in the GDR in the years before the fall of the Berlin wall. The European Film Festival is co-ordinated by the French Institute of South Africa and organised in partnership with the European Union, the British Council, the Camões Institute, the Italian Cultural Institute, the Flemish government delegation the Embassies of Austria, Belgium, Denmark and
Spain, and the Goethe-Institut. Special festival rates apply. For more information and booking information visit www.cinemanouveau.co.za or find us on Facebook and Twitter via #EuroFilmFestSA.
PERFORMANCE
THE IMPERMANENCE MUSEUM
OPENING: 15/05/2014, 18H30, PERFORMANCE 19H30 RUNS UNTIL 25/05/2014 GOETHE ON MAIN, 245 MAIN ST, MABONENG PRECINCT ADMISSION: FREE The Impermanence Museum is a multi-media performance residency that explores processes of renewal and decay, of making and unmaking. The notion of impermanence is intrinsic to the performing arts and relates to the context of Johannesburg – a place of consistent change as new developments arise and the old slowly disappears, a duality of regeneration and nostalgia for places and things that have ceased to exist. The public is invited to visit the museum, an installation that will continuously change over the duration of the residency, and to witness a series of short performances with music, sand, light and objects. Museum opening hours: 16 – 18 May: 12H00 – 16H00 21– 25 May: 12H00 – 16H00 Performances: 17 and 24 May: 13H00 – 14H00 18 and 25 May: 13H00, 14H00, 15H00. © Naomi van Niekerk
DANCE
PRIVATE SPACES
27/05/2014 + 28/05/2014 SOWETO THEATRE; CNR BOLANI & BOLANI LINK RD, JABULANI, SOWETO In her dance performance, Cologne-based choreographer Silke Z. explores the idea of the private sphere. A male and a female dancer create an emotional landscape shaped by the dynamic interplay between closeness and distance, control and powerlessness. Private spheres emerge from which the audience cannot escape. The traditional stage is replaced by a space in which everyone shares in a common experience.

PHOTOGRAPHY
AFRICA JUNCTIONS BY LARD BUURMAN
OPENING 29/05/2014, 18H30 RUNS UNTIL 04/07/2014 GOETHE-INSTITUT, GALLERY, Johannesburg For Africa Junctions, Lard Buurman (1969, Netherlands) photographed 14 cities in 12 countries in Africa over a period of six years. The subsequent multi-layered photos not only challenge expectations of these urban hubs, but also the assumed veracity of “documentary photography”. Buurman constructs his photographic images from dozens of different photographs taken from the same viewpoint, which, according to the artist, “allows the viewer to feel the dynamics of city life in still images”. A selection of the images from this body of work will be on show at the Goethe-Institut gallery, and will be accompanied by the catalogue, Africa Junctions. Capturing the City, edited by Nina Folkersma and designed by Roosje Klap. The book is published by Hatje Cantz Verlag and contains over 80 of Lard Buurman’s photographs and essays by Chris Abani, N’Goné Fall, Chris Keulemans and Alexander Opper. Admission: free

THEATRE/PERFORMANCE
AFFLECKTION: DANIEL BUCKLAND, BRIONY HORWITZ AND NKOSINATHI JOACHIM GAAR OPENING PERFORMANCE: 22/06/2014, 14H00 DAILY PERFORMANCES 24-28/06/2014, 19H30 GoetheonMain, 245 Main Street, Maboneng Precinct Afflecktion – A play about re-making yourself and loving the familiar face of a celebrity (even one of the minor ones). Award winners Daniel Buckland, Briony Horwitz and Nkosinathi Joachim Gaar come together to deliver a fantastical black comedy that is at once haunting and majestic. Afflecktion is a mixed media production featuring puppetry and mask work. It conjures a world of side-show freaks, travelling carnivals and 1950s showmanship. Simultaneously, the show invokes mainstream American romantic comedies and thrillers. Through the close proximity of these mediums, the characters relate to distant celebrities as pseudo-familiars and spurn intimate realities as abhorrent. Each of them somehow seeks to become bigger than the commonplace they are surrounded by. The resulting world is a kaleidoscope where the grotesque is made heroic, where ruthlessness is mandatory for true achievement, and where the value of exactly the right kind of face is well established and unshakeable. Right on the cutting edge‌
LITERATURE
NEW SOUTH ARICAN VOICES: 20 YEARS OF DEMOCRACY IN SOUTH AFRICA – HOW DO WRITERS RESPOND? 24/06/2014, 19H00 GOETHE-INSTITUT, LIBRARY In 2012, the Goethe-Institut launched New South African Voices, a series of literary talks and readings, presenting established South African authors together with new literary voices. The idea is to discover new topics and compare different literary approaches. New South African Voices takes place bimonthly at the library of the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg. The June event, titled 20 Years of Democracy in South Africa – How do writers respond will bring together two renowned and much talked about authors, Fred Khumalo and Imraan Coovadia.

WORKSHOP
JOHANNESBURG WORKSHOP OF THEORY AND CRITICISM (JWTC)
29/06/2014 – 11/07/2014 JOHANNESBURG, SWAZILAND, DURBAN, QUNU, GINSBERG, CAPE TOWN Archives of the Non-Racial is the theme of the 2014 session of the Johannesburg Workshop in Theory and Criticism (JWTC). The goal of the 2014 JWTC is to offer a space to rethink the politics of racialisation and the terms under which the struggle for racial justice unfolds in the world today. What are the contemporary reconfigurations and mutations of race and racism? What forms does the struggle for racial justice take in a contemporary world, a time that often claims to have gone beyond the racial? Under what conditions, and how, do we transform and invigorate anti-racist thought and praxis? The 2014 JWTC session will take place from June 29 to July 11 and will travel to four different South African cities as well as to Mbabane, Swaziland. This ‘mobile workshop’ will host conversations in places with important contributions to the archive of the struggle for racial justice. The conversations will put these local histories in dialogue with similar struggles in other parts of the world, in particular with India, the Caribbean, Latin America and Europe. Organized in partnership with the University of California Humanities Research Institute and its Seminar on Experimental Critical Theory (SECT), the events of the 2014 JWTC Session are open to the public.
