In 2016, The FNB JoburgArtFair is in its ninth year. It is with great excitement that we celebrate this feat of growth and the affirmation of interest in, and audiences for, African contemporary art. As the first art fair to focus on African contemporary art and remaining a leader in this growing field, we welcome you to our largest iteration ever. An art fair is unlike other art events in that there are so many stakeholders that are directly invested in its success. South Africa has a formidable gallery scene and we are seeing more and more galleries on the continent and beyond focusing on African contemporary art. The Art Fair creates an important buying platform and we augment this with various other projects and events to create a holistic view of creative work from the continent in this contemporary moment. We would like to thank, firstly, our galleries, especially those who have been with us since our inception. We also welcome our many new galleries and projects to this bumper edition. This FNB JoburgArtFair heralds the new executive directorship of Mandla Sibeko: “Under my directorship I wish to see the FNB JoburgArtFair continue to lead not only South African audiences but the world’s appreciation of cutting edge African art”. Sibeko, together with Fair Curator, Lucy MacGarry chose to focus this year on East Africa as a

dynamic hub of art making on the continent. First National Bank has been our sponsoring partner since the fair was just a sketch on a piece of paper. We thank the team at FNB and the bank as a whole for their visionary support. FNB not only enables us to produce the event, but is also behind one of the largest art prizes on the continent for African contemporary art: the FNB Art Prize. As part of the annual Special Projects, the FNB Art Prize continues to be a critical intervention in the careers of young African artists by awarding them the financial means to realise new work for the fair. This year, the prize goes to Zambian artist, Nolan Oswald Dennis. It was adjudicated by Curator National Gallery of Zimbabwe curator, Raphael Chikukwa; Angolan architect and curator, Paula Nascimento and FNB JoburgArtFair curator, LucyÂ MacGarry. Further thanks is extended to our government partner, Gauteng Provincial Government. We are very grateful to Egon Zehnder for enabling and curating with us our VIP programme for the second year in a row. We also welcome Joburg Tourism and PerrierJouĂŤt and look forward to long working relationships with these prestigious brands. Our East Africa focus for 2016, manifests in foregrounding work by key galleries and leading artists from the region and its diaspora. The highlight

is the 2016 Featured Artist, Wangechi Mutu (Kenya) presented by Joburg’s new art precinct Keyes Art Mile. Serge Alain Nitegeka (Burundi) shows a site-specific sculptural installation presented by Stevenson, while Sanaa Gateja (Uganda) shows two large-scale, sitespecific works presented by Afriart Gallery. Further solo presentations by Aida Muluneh (Ethiopia), Jim Chuchu (Kenya) and the Nest Collective (Kenya) are key to the thematic focus. Notably, the FNB Private Wealth Lounge Featured Designer is Kossi Aguessy (Togo/Brazil/UK). Aguessy has been referred to as the Togolese magician of design. His inclusion is a coup for the inspiration behind the overall aesthetic of this year’s layout. Each year we attempt to grow our footprint through digital collaborations. This year we work with TED×Johannesburg Salon to create a talks programme themed on contemporary African art practice. Made possible by a new partnership with Ogogiii, the TED×Johannesburg Salon event asks a curated selection of speakers to respond to a set of questions concerning contemporary African art today. We hope you enjoy this year’s Fair and we look forward to welcoming you to our 10 year celebration next year. — Artlogic Lucy MacGarry, Curator Mandla Sibeko, Director Cobi Labuscagne, Director

A Message from FNB “ The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” — Aristotle

Art has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it necessarily regarded as an artist. Art is an interesting form of alternative investment, and to some it has been most rewarding in more than just monetary value. Inspite of the current economic challenges, art and the love of art continues to grow in popularity. First National Bank has always been passionate about the South African and African contemporary art. Creativity is at the heart of innovation, which is intrinsic to FNB’s values. Together with Artlogic, we endeavour to sustain the support of the arts on our continent. Through our commitment to the event, we hope to ensure that South African and African contemporary art is showcased in Africa and the world. The FNB JoburgArtFair provides a platform for more than 600 artists from across the continent and continues to draw an assortment of global artistic individuals and art enthusiasts. There is no right or wrong interpretation of art, and that is the beauty of the FNB JoburgArtFair as it caters to a diverse audience of art enthusiasts and art novices. This year the FNB JoburgArtFair has a lot to celebrate and will feature over 80 exhibitions contemporary and modern art, special projects and solo exhibitions by galleries and organisations from 11 countries across Africa and its Diasporas. This event continues to play a significant role in discovering the value that artists bring to society and has earned a reputation as the ideal place for those interested in African contemporary art. In 2011, we introduced the FNB Art Prize which will once again honour the work of one artist nominated by galleries that participate in the Fair. The calibre of the artists nominated for this year’s FNB Art Prize was phenomenal. Congratulations to all the artists exhibiting this year. May you continue to create, innovate and inspire. Always stay true to yourself and your art and may the rewards be more than you could ever hope for. — Faye Mfikwe FNB Chief Marketing Officer

Acknowledgments from Gauteng Department of Sports, Arts, Culture and Recreation As the FNB JoburgArtFair enters its 9th year, the department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation would like to express its pride in its association, as the secondary sponsor, of this premium event. Hosted in the Gauteng province since its inception, the Fair takes place in September during our national heritage month. Our involvement in the FNB JoburgArtFair underscores our belief in our commitment to the role of the arts sector as a key driver of economic development and social cohesion. We see our involvement at the Fair as a critical component of the programme. It offers dynamic content for the Fair audience and it provides an enabling platform for emerging artists to access the market of the art industry in South Africa. This year’s projects with Artist Proof Studios and Bag Factory fulfil this objective by using the Fair to promote and sell artworks by selected emerging artists. To develop the skill set of aspiring curators and arts administrators, VANSA will facilitate a curator’s internship / learnership programme in the lead-up and during the fair, where the incumbent will gain firsthand experience in the field under the professional supervision of a VANSA and Artlogic. A new and exciting Gauteng organisation, MB Studio Community will be participating in the Fair for the first time. MB Studio Community will present a live performance on the official Fair programme as part of their ‘Activate My City’ project. A series of 3 workshops will be held in preparation for this performance at the Fair. The FNB JoburgArtFair assists us in redressing inequality, poverty and unemployment by creating direct and indirect job opportunities. It also plays an important role in promoting the values of our hard- earned democracy and the attainment of social cohesion. Our project partners help us move the sector forward by bridging the gaps between emerging artists and established artists, and this collaboration has yielded positive results both socially and economically. In addition, we have improved the opportunities for skills transfer and mentorship and have seen a ripple effect in the country’s creative industries in general. It gives me great pleasure to welcome all of you who have journeyed to Gauteng, not forgetting our locals! We hope you continue to make the Fair an annual event as each year you will be assured of the industry’s highlights – all under one roof and over a period of four days. Be sure not to miss it. “Malibongwe” — Ms Faith Mazibuko The Member of the Executive Council Department Sport, Arts, Culture, and Recreation 14

Words of Welcome from Joburg Tourism It is indeed an exceptional honour and privilege to welcome you to Johannesburg – the Most Visited City in Africa, also affectionately known as Joburg or Jozi by locals and residents. As many of you probably know, Joburg is the economic hub of South Africa and one of the continent’s most exciting cities – offering cultural, leisure, sporting, fashion and lifestyle activities that have made us a leading destination for both leisure and business tourists. We’d like to remind visitors that There is More to Joburg Than Business and that Joburg is More Than A Stopover – and to use this opportunity to highlight our diverse leisure offering, encouraging you all to explore, experience and enjoy Joburg while you are our guests. Take the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of our struggle icon Nelson Mandela; experience life like a local in Soweto or indulge in some retail therapy at our fabulous shopping malls and colourful destination markets. There’s always something to get excited about and celebrate in Joburg and the city recently cemented its position as a major global tourist destination when it was named as the Coolest City in the Southern Hemisphere by GQ Magazine (UK). As this commendation shows, there’s definitely more to Joburg than business and our city is up there with the best, globally! We trust your stay in Joburg will give you a tantalising glimpse and insight into our City’s energy and diversity, the vibrancy and warmth of our people, the countless cultures they represent and the infinite choices the city offers its citizens and visitors. Please visit us again – stay, play and discover why those who live in Joburg love it – and those who visit our mighty city never forget it. — Johannesburg Tourism www.joburgtourism.com

Statement from the Department of Small Business Development Government has been involved with the FNB JoburgArtFair since 2011, when the Department of Trade and Industry started to support independent emerging and established artists to exhibit their talents. The Department of Small Business Development is proud to continue this tradition and be associated with the FNB JoburgArtFair, now in its ninth year as Africa’s leading art fair focused on contemporary art from the continent and diaspora. We also note, with great pleasure the continued support of the Fair by the City of Joburg and Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation. I therefore take the opportunity on behalf of the South African Government to extend a warm welcome to all the international, national and local visitors and buyers. South Africa’s diverse and dynamic arts and culture heritage is one of its richest and most important resources, with the capacity to generate significant economic and social benefits for the nation. The National Development Plan paints a vision of the arts by 2030 where the role and contribution of the artists continues to be foregrounded thus: “ As artists we express and celebrate, we expose and nurture, We explore, shift and change frontiers. We respect ability, competence and talent. We are connected by the sounds we hear, the sights we see, the scents we smell, the objects we touch, We are a web of relationships, fashioned in a web of histories, the stories of our lives inescapably shaped by stories of others.” Our Constitution is one of a few in the world that specifically affirms culture and cultural rights as well as freedom of cultural expression. I am pleased to announce that on the 8th June 2016 the South African Cabinet approved the Copyright Amendment Bill which will introduce the “Resale Royalty for Visual Arts” for submission to Parliament in August 2016. The FNB JoburgArtFair 2016 not only creates an annual platform for the established galleries and artists, but it actively seeks out and creates a platform for upcoming, talented and lesser-known artists. I encourage you to take an interests in their work buy not only from the established galleries and artists, but also from lesser-known artists. I once again welcome you to the FNB JoburgArtFair 2016. — Ms. Lindiwe Zulu (MP) Minister of Small Business Development 16

2016 Featured Artist – Wangechi Mutu presented by Keyes Art Mile

The 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair is proud to present the 2016 Featured Artist: Wangechi Mutu. The Kenyan born artist comes to the fair as the highlight of this year’s curatorial focus on contemporary and modern art practices from East Africa and its diaspora. Mutu spent the last two decades living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Being based in the American city helped her to build what is today a global artistic practice. Mutu was raised and received her primary education in Nairobi before relocating first to study in the UK and later moving to New York in the early 1990s. Mutu has since returned home to Nairobi to establish a second studio, living now between the US and Kenya. The move positions her among a growing list of renowned artists injecting a new vibrant energy into the East African art scene. Mutu’s artistic practice spans various media, including performance, video installation, sculpture and collage. Her aesthetic forms, which are best exemplified by her collages, are at once hybrid, fantastic and abject. She conjures and creates a new world of creatures from decorative paper and magazine picture cut outs to articulate various metaphors of the human condition. Issues of gender, race, and colonialism are explored with refreshing nuance in her expansive visual world. Her intervention at the 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair will be comprise an installation of two works. The first is Sleeping Serpent II (2016), a sculpture related to Mutu’s exhibition entitled ‘Nguva ne Nyoka’, a Kiswahili phrase which directly translates to ‘serpent and sirens’ Mutu explains that the work draws its inspiration, “from my deep fascination with the ocean and how being submerged in the sea can put you in a dream state.” This deep fascination, she says “turned into an exploration of mythology and stories from the coastal people in Kenya about women who can live on land and in the ocean.”

Mutu will also show The End of eating Everything (2013), an animated short-film Mutu created featuring American singersongwriter Santigold. The film is an allegorical tale of an insatiable beast flying over a post-apocalyptic landscape consuming everything its path leading to kind of an implosive rebirth. Commissioned by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, the work marks a culmination of the critical formal elements that have made Mutu’s practice so potent to date.

Commissioned by the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, NC. Mutu’s participation at the 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair is made possible by the sponsorship of Keyes Art Mile. Keyes Art Mile is an art-focused spatial development project in the lower Rosebank area on the corner of Keyes and Jellicoe Avenues. Designed to be the first precinct of its kind in Joburg, Keyes Art Mile unfolds from its first iconic architectural site, the TRUMPET which will host a set of handpicked Cape Town-based art galleries including Southern Guild, SMAC Gallery and WHATIFTHEWORLD. These spaces will be complemented by retail areas, cafés and design stores to make create an artful lifestyle mile in Africa’s world class city of the future – Johannesburg.

The installation will be an abstract rendition of the physical transformation that a given space is subjected to. Its form to be is unknown.

Sanaa Gateja presented by Afriart Gallery Sanaa Gateja is an exceptional artist and jeweller and has been nicknamed ‘The Bead King’ in his native Uganda. He derives this name from being the inventor of beads made from recycled paper which he uses to create varying designs and compositions. As an artist his work ethic and preference for recycled materials suite the global consciousness which highly regard the environment and its preservation. Gateja’s artwork could be described as mixed-media experimental abstract art. He says, ‘Life is a journey with a purpose. The message I bring is visually African. The themes I use are universally human. Dealing with the materials that guide me, I talk with you, the observer. We share the energy within us provoked by art’. Gateja is indeed one of Uganda’s most universally acclaimed artists. He studied both in the UK (London college of Art and Design) and in Europe’s culture capital, Florence, at the Universita Internazonale dell Arte. Gateja is currently the only Ugandan artist exhibiting at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York, and has exhibited extensively in Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, UK, USA and Germany among other countries. My current body of work explores aspects of African History as a Journey, The African Journey. With limited written material available especially that written by Africans, art remains a significant source of historical information. It is even more significant when oral history is so diverse in its story line that imagination and creativity become important in how one tells the story. As an artist who works in mixed media with organic and discarded materials it is always my pleasure to meet different challenges. Size is a challenge that stretches material to its limits and the decision to make large or small a work can be equally demanding in the approach to the theme. The two large works I am presenting at this year’s FNB JoburgArtFair are both under the theme Paths and form part of The African Journey.

Aida Muluneh presented by David Krut Projects Aida Muluneh’s project consists of a selection of images from her latest series of photographic works titled “the world is 9.” It comes from an expression that Muluneh’s grandmother had repeated, in which she stated, “the world is 9, it is never complete and never perfect.” The work questions life, love, history, and whether we can live in this world with full contentment. Born in Ethiopia in 1974, Muluneh has lived in Yemen, the United Kingdom, Cyprus, Canada and the United States. In 2000, Muluneh earned a degree in Film from Howard University in Washington DC before joining the Washington Post. Muluneh is the 2007 recipient of the European Union Prize in the Rencontres Africaines de la Photographie, in Bamako, Mali, as well as the 2010 winner of the CRAF International Award of Photography in Spilimbergo, Italy. Her work is included in various publications and forms part of various key international collections. Muluneh is the founder and director of Addis Foto Fest, as well as FanaWogi, a yearly open call supporting contemporary artists in Ethiopia. She continues to curate and develop cultural projects with local and international institutions through her company DESTA (Developing and Educating Society Through Art) For Africa Creative Consulting PLC (DFA) in Addis Ababa. These works follow on the work featured at the 2015 FNB JoburgArtFair. Illustrated Aida Muluneh, Strength in Honor, 2016, archival digital photograph, 80 × 80cm, edition of 7.

The Nest Collective presented by the Goethe-Institut The Nest Collective are a Nairobi based art collective who define themselves as, ‘a small army of thinkers, makers and believers.’ They aim to, ‘explore our troubling modern identities, re-imagine our pasts and remix our futures’, creating work together using film, visual art, music and fashion. Their work is about ‘dissecting and subverting the layers of how Africans are seen and unseen, what Africans can and cannot do, where Africans can and cannot go, and what Africans can and cannot say’. The Nest will be presenting Black Fantasia, a multidisciplinary project that brings together film, photography and installations. The work collects several future, past and imaginary narratives about blackness. Along with this multidisciplinary work, the collective are presenting They Sent You, an anthology of short photo-comic vignettes set in an imaginary future Nairobi, as well as launching their latest fashion book Not African Enough. The Nest Collective have shown their work at a number of selected exhibitions mainly including; Making Africa, A Continent of Contemporary Design, Vitra Design Museum (2015), Africa is Now, Design Indaba 2015, Cape Town (2015), Afropean Mimicry and Mockery, KünstlerhausMousonturm, Frankfurt (2014), as well as Shifting Africa, Mediations Biennale Poznan, Poland (2014).

Jim Chuchu presented by Mariane Ibrahim Gallery Jim Chuchu is an exceptional, multi-discilplinary artist living and working in Nairobi, Kenya. His range of work includes films, photography and music. Chuchu directed his first short film, Home-coming and premiered at 2013 Durban International Film Festival. A year later, he directed The Stories of our lives with the Nest Collective which was screened at the Toronto Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival and a few other festivals. His photographic series Pagans envision a reconstruction of future-past anonymous African Deities and attempts to reconstruct pre-colonial religious practices in Africa. His special project intervention comprises a short film titled The Bones Remember. It takes the form of a series of vignettes surveying the landscape of former colonial battlegrounds in Kenya, histories misplaced, forgotten, revised, erased, and or destroyed. The weeds have been untangled, the land has been groomed, but down below, the things left behind demand to be taken home. Broken bodies long to be amongst their families. You may have forgotten but the bones remember. Illustrated Jim Chuchu, Still from The Bones Remember, 2016, digital video Courtesy of the artist and Mariane Ibrahim Gallery

Rehema Chachage, Jackie Karuti and Ato Malinda presented by Circle Art Gallery Circle Art Gallery is showing the work of three artists from East Africa, all of whom use video in their practice. Their work interrogates the self and identity, gender, sexuality, the role of women, other worlds and being the outsider. Ato Malinda (born 1981, Kenya) lives and works in Rotterdam. She studied Art History and Molecular Biology at the University of Texas at Austin, and has a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Transart Institute, New York. Malinda is currently a PhD candidate at Leiden University and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Her works consist of performance, drawing, painting, installation, video, and ceramic object-making. Through her diverse practice, Malinda investigates the hybrid nature of African identity, contesting notions of authenticity, as well as focuses on gender and sexuality. Illustrated top Ato Malinda, On Fait Ensemble, 2010, video, stills and performance, 10 min 49 sec, edition 3/5. Image courtesy of Ato Malinda

Rehema Chachage (born 1987, Tanzania) is a mixed media artist working mostly in video and sculptural instillations as well as performance. She graduated in 2009 from Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town where she received a Bachelors of Arts in Fine Art degree. Themes explored in her work are very much determined by her situatedness, but the most prominent ones are ‘rootedness’, gender and identity, explored in her earlier works from the point of view of a stranger, the outsider, the other, alien and often voiceless – a feeling gathered from the social alienation she experienced in the four years spent as a cultural foreigner and a non-South African, black female student in a predominantly white middle-class oriented institution.

Kampala Art Auction Kampala Art Auction was established in 2015 to manage creative productions, art exhibitions and art auctions in Uganda. Our exhibition at the FNB JoburgArtFair explores the debate around gender and sexuality in the East African region. This takes place against the backdrop of society’s current moral perspectives on the subject of sexuality. Moral attitudes in society have been largely influenced by religious and cultural teachings. There’s an even more pointed question. How have gender and sexuality been perceived in relation to the body? Eroticism, sexual desire, intimacy and familiarity or friendship are central themes of the inquiry of this project. How do we reveal or conceal sexual desire in relation to our own bodies or with other people? How have we explored the paths to places of intimacy and eroticism even when they fall far outside the bounds of society’s moral outlook and expectations? While the faces, places and paths that relate to intimacy and sexual desire are innumerable, often times women and men are paralysed and unable to explore these options due to moral attitudes of culture and society. The clash between eroticism and these attitudes limit the adventurous expression of sexual desire, and curtail the exploration of intimacy as women and men choose to follow the beaten path. Artists exhibited Sheila Nakitende, Ange Sita Swana, Peter Genza, Denis Mubiru, Longinos Nagila Gallery artists include Moses Nyawanda, Christian Tundula, Papa Shabani, Helen Nabukenya Illustrated Ange Sita Swana, Stand up and Leave, 2015, mixed media, 200 × 200cm Courtesy of the artist

Annual Special Projects

The FNB JoburgArtFair hosts an annual series of non-profit projects and events to create a holistic view of creative practice in Africa. These include, the highly coveted FNB Art Prize that awards a young artist the financial means and opportunity to create a new project for the Fair; a programme of Talks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lectures, discussions and interviews, and the FNB Private Wealth Lounge that features the work of a featured designer from the continent.

2016 FNB Art Prize Winner – Nolan Oswald Dennis Over the years, the FNB Art Prize has not only celebrated the work of shining South African artists, but has also been awarded to ground breaking artists from around the African continent too. This has allowed both the Fair and the FNB Art Prize to enhance a creative dialogue within the growing contemporary African art markets. This continental wide focus continues to guide the underlying principle of both the FNB Art Prize and the FNB JoburgArtFair. The 2016 FNB Art Prize winner is Nolan Oswald Dennis. Though Dennis was born and raised in Zambia, he is currently based in Joburg and is represented by the Goodman Gallery. Dennis works in drawing, painting and installation. His practice is concerned with themes of the constantly fluctuating conditions of place, time and history. He produces elaborately contoured and delicate line drawings that can be thought of as maps or symbolic cartography. In our contemporary experience, which is defined by an urgent reemergence of anti-colonial and anti-apartheid discourses, Dennis designs his images as instances of looking at specific objects, infrastructures and texts that facilitate our being in this contemporary world. His works become symbolic explorations of new ways of mapping the emergent critical moment, its potential and collapses. Further, his drawings often re-examine political technologies of memory and forgetting that are mobilised in the making of collective identities in South Africa and even the broader continent. He is on the record saying that “becoming is a future state, and the furthering of the post-colonial project. I try to determine my own place in the always collapsing social-fiction that marks the community of the late rainbow nation.” Dennis is also a member of the Johannesburg-based art collective NTU. The work often functions as a response to commercial, cultural, and technological super-hybridity as a feature of the way life is lived in contemporary South Africa and beyond. As a winner of the FNB Art Prize 2016 Dennis joins a prestigious list that goes back to the 2011 edition of the FNB JoburgArtFair when the prize was launched. The prestigious FNB Art Prize has since become one of the converted visual art prizes on the African continent. The prize

Annual Special Projects

affords the wining artist an opportunity to showcase their work in a dedicated space at the FNB JoburgArtFair. The winner also receives a cash prize. These are enhanced further by the media interest and coverage of the fair that helps to catapult the artist and his work to the centre of contemporary art discourse. This in turn helps to build popular investment into the winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budding career; hence helping to make sustainable. All galleries participating in the FNB JoburgArtFair are given the opportunity to nominate one of their artists for consideration by our jury. This year, the jury consisted of Zimbabwean curator and director of the Zimbabwean National Gallery in Harare, Raphael Chikukwa, FNB JoburgArtFair curator, Lucy MacGarry and Angolan architect and curator, Paula Nascimento.

TEDxJOHANNESBURG SALON ART FOR AFRICA

SATURDAY, 10 SEPTEMBER 2016 | THEATRE ON THE SQUARE | 10:00 - 14:30 | R400 Africa is a creative power station. Art from our continent empowers us to reflect on shared experiences and unites us in our diversity. With anchors in our collective African identity, our contemporary artists consider the human and universal. Platforms that represent the multiplicity and diversity of contemporary African art and cultural production are critical. New modes of thinking about art have also led to a transformation of the work we do, the things we make, and the lives we live. Culture is being formed in artist studios, on the street and online. Digital innovation and increased connectivity have given creative work greater reach and influence, transcending traditional boundaries of geography and language. Our TEDxJohannesburg Salon event asks three simple questions: How is art changing us? How is art changing our world? And most pertinently, how might those changes help to shape Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future? TEDxJohannesburg Salon, Art for Africa, is organised in collaboration with our partners at Ogojiii Magazine and FNB JoburgArtFair. To learn more, visit tedxjohannesburg.co.za

FNB Private Wealth Lounge Designer Kossi Aguessy Born in 1977 in Lomé, Togo, Aguessy studied industrial and interior design in the United Kingdom, at the Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design in London. Futuristic, multi-cultural and polymorphic, Aguessy’s signature results from practical, technological, sociological and formal researches. He lives and works in the United Kingdom, the United States and France. “The essence of a futuristic and sleek Africa.” This phrase was the starting point of my intervention on the FNB Private Wealth Lounge for the 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair. Beyond the assemblage of materials and effects, I intended with the interior design, the furniture and artworks create a feeling of a reinvented Africa, a space with a window on unexplored landscape. Every material, each colour or shape composing this landscape makes worship of light, nature and culture. Each guest is greeted with a sentiment of a peaceful, yet bright journey into our common future. – Kossi Aguessy Illustrated Kossi Aguessy, ALTER AL AKHAR, epoxy coated ash, 200 × 50 × 50cm; NEW TEMPLES OF FAITH, Cupertino, mirror polished, aluminium, 300 × 80 cm; IDOLL #1, The Earth, bronze edition, mirror polished, aluminium, 55 × 40cm Image courtesy of Adrien Bonnet

Christopher Moller Gallery Christopher Moller has been involved in the art world since 2001, having started off working for the Everard Read Gallery and Stephan Welz and Sotheby’s auction house. Moller opened his first small gallery in 2007 in town, on the corner of Church and Loop Street. As the business grew, the gallery decided to look for larger premises and purchased a heritage building in ‘the old city’, below Table Mountain. With the help of the design company ‘Bofred’, the team transformed the space, creating contemporary viewing rooms, gallery office for its staff and a reading room for visitors to view publications and books. The gallery incorporates modern design with an emphasis on minimalism while retaining the charm of the building’s history with its solid oregan pine flooring and its four Victorian fireplaces. The gallery deals in contemporary art, specialising in art from the African continent. There is so much exciting talent coming out of Africa. In the past we have seen art doing well on auction from China, Europe and America. Now the art world is looking for the next best thing, they are looking towards Africa.

David Krut Projects David Krut Projects is pleased to present a three-person exhibition of abstract paintings based on the premise of locale: a place or setting, a relationship with surroundings, environments, situations and spaces. Quinten Edward Wiliams’ practice probes the way in which every day experience is shaped by a complex intersections of different kinds of spaces – physical, intellectual, social, political – and the uncertainties inherent in the formation of environments. Motivated by the notion of creating a sense of place, Mary Wafer’s paintings explore the consequences of structural marginality in spaces, and the representation of social and psychological factors within physical spaces. Jaco van Schalkwyk’s use of glazes has opened up a new technical avenue in his recent work. The works presented in this show are meditations on the use of lithographic ink glazes as painting medium. Outside his window, construction work that is currently taking place around his studio has provided cues for certain marks and colours – responses to the process and its paraphernalia, and the sense that what initially appears chaotic is, in fact, perfectly ordered. Artists exhibited Jaco van Schalkwyk, Mary Wafer, Quinten Edward Williams Gallery artists include Michael Amery, Lynda Ballen, Endale Desalegn,Mischa Fritsch,William Kentridge, Deborah Bell, Stephen Hobbs, Maja Maljević, Aida Muluneh, Mongezi Ncaphayi, Lorenzo Nassimbeni, Robyn Penn, Senzo Shabangu, Diane Victor Illustrated Quinten Edward Williams, Pendent 3, 2015, acrylic on canvas, 161 × 200 × 5cm Courtesy of the artist

ELA – Espaço Luanda Arte Angola, like other oil-dependent countries, is sliding into a spiral of economic damage from the plunge in prices. Its currency is weakening, government revenue dropping dramatically, civil-service salaries are delayed, many construction projects have been suspended, layoffs have begun and social unrest is growing. Like a muse, this has increased the artists’ inspiration and helped to stimulate even more quality in their art. After the boom, this now bust cycle has led to an even greater and better emerging crop of talented contemporary artists, who are expressing their social and cultural dialogues even more, providing substance and structure to their thoughts and imagination, between Angola and the rest of the world. British Curator-Producer-Director Dominick Tanner, has been working and living in Angola for over 8 years now and through ELA – ‘Espaço Luanda Arte’ proposes the works of three emerging artists, Nelo Teixeira, Pedro Pires and Mário Macilau, and one Master Kapela Paulo. The gallery is particularly interested in project-based and site-specific shows, with ample space for up to three solo private and five collective residencies at any given moment, an area for round-tables, discussions and artist talks, and a very large exhibition area.

The gallery later established a branch in Cape Town, becoming the country’s most visible commercial art space for international collectors. In 2009, the directors unveiled a new space dedicated to contemporary South African art, CIRCA in the now iconic building. CIRCA enjoys generous sponsorship from Deutsche Bank.

Established in 1966, the gallery works with influential contemporary artists who strive to shift perspectives and engender social transformation. Since 2008, under the directorship of Liza Essers, Goodman Gallery has expanded on this legacy and introduced numerous initiatives and partnerships. Essers has promoted a global outlook, while initiating interventions within and outside of the traditional gallery space. This approach has dovetailed with an incisive three-tiered focus: working with southern Africa’s established and emerging artists, those from the greater African continent; and international artists engaged in a dialogue with the African context. Artists exhibited Kudzanai Chiurai, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Jabulani Dhlamini, Kendell Geers, David Goldblatt, Haroon Gunn-Salie, Alfredo Jaar, William Kentridge, Liza Lou, Gerald Machona, Misheck Masamvu, Shirin Neshat, Tracey Rose, Tabita Rezaire, Mikhael Subotzky, Hank Willis Thomas Gallery artists include Ghada Amer, Willem Boshoff, Candice Breitz, Lisa Brice, Carla Busuttil, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Hasan And Husain Essop, MounirFatmi, Robert Hodgins, David Koloane, Gerhard Marx, Sam Nhlengethwa, Walter Oltmann, Thabiso Sekgala, Clive Van Den Berg, Minnette Vári, Diane Victor, Jeremy Wafer, Jessica Webster, Sue Williamson, Nelisiwe Xaba, Ruby Onyinyechi Amanze, Broomberg & Chanarin, Gabrielle Goliath, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Rosenclaire Illustrated Shirin Neshat, Unveiling (from Women of Allah Series), 1993/2015, silver gelatin print and ink, 102 × 152cm.

Kalashnikovv Gallery The very nature of art questions the status quo. It gives voice to those who cannot speak. It is a platform for those who are not heard or seen. Kalashnikovv is a contemporary fine art gallery and project space which is dedicated to providing support to both emerging and established South African artists. Kalashnikovv challenges the conventions of the art gallery in its manifestation, conduct, audience and motivation. Convention has made art a pastime of the elite. Kalashnikovv is a re-articulated exhibition space, orientated towards the deconstruction of the art–space. This allows Kalashnikovv to be the first gallery to stop asking what art is, and rather answer where it can be found. Artists exhibited Jason Bronkhorst, Ayanda Mabulu, Maaike Bakker, Andrew Kayser, Vusi Beauchamp, Io Makandal (Project Space) Gallery artists include Nathan Vuuren, Skullboy, MJ Turpin, Jana Hamman, Luke Daniel, Katlego Montshioa, Craig Smith, Elizaveta Rukavishnikova-Mammes Illustrated Jason Bronkhorst, Board of Directors – Trash Capitalism, 2016, acrylic, charcoal, spray paint, india ink, oil bar, clear lacquer on canvas, 120 × 90cm Courtesy of Kalashnikovv Gallery

Lizamore & Associates Established in 2001, Lizamore & Associates gallery has focused on new, as well as established contemporary South African artists for 16 years. Through devotion to consistent excellence, Lizamore & Associates are exploring transformative possibilities through contemporary art. For the 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair Lizamore & Associates will host a two-man, curated, exhibition by Zolile Phetshane and Tshepo Mosopa as well as a gallery solo project by Mandy Coppes-Martin. Both Mosopa and Phetshane’s work centres around a self-exploration and understanding of each artist’s personal environments, the labels and stereotypes prescribed by society. Systems like religion, the economy, politics, rituals and objects with which everyday lives are filled become the constructs through which they organise their ‘world’. Phetshane, who has exhibited extensively both locally and internationally, creates abstract colour fields which are littered with these objects and numbers as tools which make sense of his private world. Mosopa, the first winner of both the Reinhold Cassirer Art Award (2011) and the SA Taxi Foundation Art Award (2015), investigates self-identity and social hierarchy within his works. Artists exhibited Zolile Phetshane, Tshepo Mosopa Gallery artists include Justin Dingwall, Hannelie Coetzee, Robert Hamblin, Benon Lutaaya, Louis Olivier, Karin Preller, Peter Mammes, Mandy Coppes-Martin, Lwandiso Njara Illustrated Tshepo Mosopa, Transit, 2016, ink on canvas, 20.5 × 17.5cm Courtesy of the artist and Lizamore & Associates.

Clive van den Berg presented by Goodman Gallery The appalling killings in Orlando earlier this year are not the first to target LGBT people, either by ISIS or by other fanatics who wish to punish acts of loving. In Clive van den Berg’s monumental sculpture A Pile of Stones: The Unmourned, the artist references classical ruins in Palmyra which were destroyed by Isis and widely lamented in the mainstream media. These relics are re-imagined by the artist so that ancient relief carvings are replaced with memorials to the brutal murders of people who love in defiance of prejudice. The work forms part of Van den Berg’s ongoing series ‘Men Loving’ which investigates what is considered legitimate for the world to mourn and memorialise. Gallery artists include Kudzanai Chiurai, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Jabulani Dhlamini, Kendell Geers, David Goldblatt, Haroon Gunn-Salie, Alfredo Jaar, William Kentridge, Liza Lou, Gerald Machona, Misheck Masamvu, Shirin Neshat, Tracey Rose, Tabita Rezaire, Mikhael Subotzky, Hank Willis Thomas, Ghada Amer, Willem Boshoff, Candice Breitz, Lisa Brice, Carla Busuttil, Nolan Oswald Dennis, Hasan and Husain Essop, Mounir Fatmi, Robert Hodgins, David Koloane, Gerhard Marx, Sam Nhlengethwa, Walter Oltmann, Thabiso Sekgala, Minnette Vari, Diane Victor, Jeremy Wafer, Jessica Webster, Sue Williamson, Nelisiwe Xaba Illustrated Clive van den Berg, A Pile of Stones: The Unmourned, 2016, carved jelutong, 2.8m high

Mandy Coppes-Martin presented by Lizamore & Associates Mandy Coppes-Martin (1973) is recognized for her use of natural materials like silk, hemp and handmade paper translated into portraits and organisms found in nature. Coppes-Martin holds a Masters Degree in Fine Art (cum laude) and has forged an extensive career as a contemporary South African artist. For her solo project at the 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair, CoppesMartin presents an installation based body of work inspired by what she sees as the new age war between man and nature. Central to the installation is the piece PUTRID. This work plays on mankind’s destruction of natural resources for their own gain. Coppes-Martin’s also explores complexities around the Raflessia flower (rotten corpse flower), a rare and endangered plant which blooms in South East Asia. These flowers are completely dependent on the forest they grow in and cannot be re-planted in another environment. Through the constant interference of man, this forest, like many others are extinguished through the consumption of natural resources.

Grace Cross presented by SMITH The marketplace in both local and international settings is a hybrid mix of people, tastes, and objects convening together; whether at a Senegalese stall roasting nuts, or micro-economies bullying against each other selling Chinese bric-a-brac apparel or online trading across continents. The marketplace is a symbol of traditional rituals living alongside contemporary beliefs. It is also a marker of gentrification and cultural appropriation, when market audiences push out local businesses under the swift and unyielding machine of capitalism. My paintings within the booth Cave Canem, will exist as both apparitional forms – referencing memories, dialogue, and movements – and possess kitschy, eccentric materiality. Casting a backdrop more vivid than the whitecube, an exhibition as a marketplace proposes an experiential connection to storytelling, economic exchange, and the ritual of cultural performance. This stall proposes an opportunity to visually resolve and represent such complex issues as race, feminism, and cultural borders being surfaced by crossover genres. Allegorising the everyday and the mythic in the same space, a visual narrative emerges from intersectional perspectives. Gallery artists include HOICK, Marsi van der Heuvel, Anna van der Ploeg, Jeanne Gaigher, Michael Linders, Elize Vossgatter, Jill Joubert, Unathi Mkonto, Dale Lawrence, Kunyalala Ndlovu, David Brits, Matty Roodt, Claire Johnson Illustrated Grace Cross, Loom For Sappho (detail), 2016, oil and dyed wool fibre on canvas, 152 × 228cm

Nelmarie du Preez presented by ROOM Gallery & Projects For these works the artist established a ‘collective’ named ‘Du Preez/Gui’ between herself and her computer/robot, where they stand as equal actors in a performance-based artistic collaboration. In the series Loops of Relation these two performers aim to question the mapping of relation by means of interactivity. Taking inspiration from the works of performance artist Marina Abramović and Ulay, Du Preez/Gui use their ‘bodies’ to explore the parameters that drive the dynamics of a symbiotic relationship. The first in this series brings together documented performance or ‘trust’ exercises presented in endless loops. These loops of relation are driven by their relationship and aim to generate new meaning with regards to the social constructions of ‘the self’ and ‘the other’. Works that have been re-performed and re-interpreted: Marina Abramović, Rhythm 10, 1973; Marina Abramović and Ulay, AAA-AAA, 1978; Marina Abramović and Ulay, Light/Dark, 1977; Marina Abramović and Ulay, Rest Energy, 1980.

Ruann Coleman presented by SMAC Gallery Ulterior is a solo project by South African artist Ruann Coleman, consisting of floor and wall-mounted sculptural works. Coleman initiates a rapport with current discourses of post-minimal creative practice by juxtaposing organic and synthetic found materials. The artist purposefully rejects elements of conspicuous, shrine-like monuments, for a more subtle, seemingly effortless appearance, that remains carefully considered and rich in content. Coleman chooses to work within a purely formal language and process rooted in play, impromptu interventions and experimentation. His concepts pivot around the materiality of found objects, their weight, scale, form and balance. He presents a collection of meticulously selected, and intuitively manipulated objects that have been translated into symbolic structures imbued with subtext, tension, humour and beauty. Ruann Coleman was born in 1988 in Johannesburg. He obtained a Masters of Fine Art in 2014 from the University of Stellenbosch. Coleman presented his first solo exhibition, Balancing Act, at SMAC Gallery in Stellenbosch in 2014. In 2015, he was the artist in residence at the Centro Luigi Di Sarro in Rome, Italy, which culminated in his debut international solo exhibition, Found:Rome. Coleman also took part in the Corso Superiore di Arti Visive (CSAV) – Artists Research Laboratory at the Fondazione Antonio Ratti in Como, Italy in July 2016. Gallery artists include Jake Aikman, Leonce Raphael Agbodjélou, Willem Boshoff, Barend de Wet, Peter Eastman, Frances Goodman, Kate Gottgens, Georgina Gratrix, Masimba Hwati, Cyrus Kabiru, Alexandra Karakashian, Johann Louw, Mongezi Ncaphayi, Chemu Ng’ok, Musa N Nxumalo, Gareth Nyandoro, Giovanni Ozzola, Jody Paulsen, Themba Shibase, Simon Stone, Shoshanna Weinberger, Ed Young, Asha Zero Illustrated Ruann Coleman, Installation Shot: Loop and Abacus 1.1, 2016, dimensions variable Courtesy of SMAC Gallery

Jenna Burchell presented by Sulger-Buel Lovell For Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind), Burchell repairs ancient, fractured rocks following a method based on the Japanese art and philosophy of Kintsukuroi. By combining golden rock repair with technology and sound, a songsmith will resonate when touched. This allows each rock to sing of the land wherein it has existed for millennia. The rocks were found in Cradle of Humankind, a 50 000 hectare span of ancient, fossil-rich land in South Africa. Burchell generated each songsmith’s song with electro-magnetic readings captured from beneath each rock’s unique and original resting place in the Cradle of Humankind. Their songs were created through the use of site-specific Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data that Burchell captured with geophysicists. The unedited GPR frequency pattern was brought into an audible pitch based on the weight of each rock. Pitch is used intuitively. For example, a large, heavy rock will sing in a lower tone, whereas a smaller, light rock will sing in a higher tone. What results is a haunting ‘wale song’ that becomes the unique voice of each songsmith. Gallery artists include Soly Cissé, Nú Barreto, David Lurie, Othello De’Souza-Hartley, Neill Wright, Christine Dixie, Pélagie Gbaguidi, Ralph Ziman, Victor Ekpuk, Paul Sika, Vivien Kohler, Isabelle Grobler, Carolyn Parton Illustrated Jenna Burchell, Songsmith (Cradle of Humankind), S25°58’50.0988” E27°46’25.8492” (A2), 2016, stone, oak, resin, copper alloy, speaker, and circuit, solar, 59 × 41 × 41cm, plinth 90 × 41 × 41cm.

Gallery MOMO Pemba’s Studio is a poetic celebration of an African master painter, reflecting on George Pemba’s contribution to African Modernism. Pemba was born in 1912 in Hill’s Kraal, Korsten Village in Port Elizabeth. As a child he was encouraged by his father to draw and paint, and so he began painting murals in the family house and producing portraits from photographs of his father’s employers. Gallery MOMO presents an immersive exhibition recreating Pemba’s studio, curated by Monna Mokoena, founder of Gallery MOMO. The exhibition includes paintings by the artist and brings together a wealth of historical and archival material. Pemba’s Studio presents an alluring environment evoking the poetic universe of the artist’s studio. This studio recreation will offer visitors real insight into the everyday working life of this leading African master, complete with original furniture, reading and studio material. Pemba painted a range of subjects – portraits of individuals from a variety of backgrounds, images drawn from everyday people as well as landscapes. He is, however, best known for his iconic township scenes. Artist exhibited George Pemba Gallery artists include Jonathan Hindson, Jonathan Freemantle, Mary Sibande, Ayana V Jackson, Maurice Mbikayi, Vitshois Mwilambwe Bondo, Joël Mpah Dooh, Roger Ballen, Dillon Marsh, Florine Demosthene, Ransome Stanley, Robert Pruitt, Kimathi Donkor, George Hallet, Andrew Tshabangu, Pedro Pires Illustrated George Pemba, Untitled (The Funeral), 1975, oil on canvas, 46 × 62cm Courtesy of Gallery MOMO

SMAC Gallery In association with the Kevin and Patricia Atkinson Trust, SMAC Gallery presents a selection of Kevin Atkinson’s works as a prelude to the upcoming review exhibition to be held at SMAC in Stellenbosch. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication about the artist’s life and work. Throughout a career that spanned over 40 years, Kevin Atkinson (1939-2007) embraced a multiplicity of mediums and approaches in his artistic practice. Adopting various controversial methods, he was as much concerned with the conceptual and immaterial, as he was with aesthetics and the physical act of art-making. Atkinson’s diversity of skill is evidenced in an oeuvre that encompasses Pop Art inspired, hard-edge acrylic works from the 1960s, monochromatic conceptual pieces from the 1970s and enormous, expressive paintings from the 1980s and early 1990s. Since his debut solo exhibition in 1966, Atkinson’s work has been extensively exhibited locally and featured in numerous biennales and international exhibitions. Recognising his contribution to South African art, his work was also posthumously included in many landmark South African shows. In 2014, Opening ‘Plato’s Cave’: The Legacy of Kevin Atkinson (1939-2007) was presented by the Iziko South African National Gallery, further cementing Atkinson as one of South Africa’s most significant artists.

Wall Art Gallery This exhibition comprises a selection of iconic works by artists who forged a new pictorial language for South African modern artistic expression. Central to the selection is the work of Cecil Skotnes whose distinctive imagery sets the tone for a number of black artists under his tutelage such as Sydney Alex Kumalo, Lucky Sibiya, and Ezrom Legae who all developed unique approaches to their medium. Alongside the artists mentioned are a selection of works by Robert Hodgins and Dumile Feni dating from the mid-1980s. These will be distinctive examples of both artists maturing style. Paintings by Walter Battiss dating from the 1950s and 1960s with their flamboyant coloration and eccentric design will provide a welcome contrast to the confrontational imagery of the aforementioned artists. Pioneering black artists Gerard Sekoto, Peter Clarke and John Mohl will complete the exhibition. These artists continue with the representational practice they were trained in with a focus on subjects that are close to heart. Their style was a deliberate staking of a claim to equality in the South African art world at a time when ‘African-ness’ was associated with traditional craft. This imagery may appear conservative today. However, it is a significant component of South African art history. Artists exhibited Cecil Skotnes, Sydney Alex Kumalo, Lucky Sibiya, Ezrom Legae, Gerard Sekoto, Peter Clarke, John Mohl, Robert Hodgins, Dumile Feni, Walter Battiss Illustrated Cecil Skotnes, Head, carved, incised and painted wood panel, 122 × 122cm Courtesy of Wall Art Gallery

Penn’s range of printed work includes sugarlift and monotypes which demonstrate her dedicated study of cloud imagery in the context of controversial counter-narratives on climate change. These top South African artists investigate form and subject matter with a creative verve and critical edge that makes their work alluring, challenging and relevant to the here and now.

Artist Proof Studio

AVA Gallery

Founded by Kim Berman and the late Nhlanhla Xaba in 1991, Artist Proof Studio is an art education centre that specialises in printmaking through a variety of diverse partnerships with young artists, established professionals, community groups, patrons, and funders. We have been active in the Newtown Cultural Precinct for 25 years and were one of the pioneering community art centres in the area, even before its development as a cultural hub. From our humble beginnings in Jeppe Street to our present venue – across the road at the Bus Factory – Artist Proof Studio has grown from a small, rudimentarily equipped printmaking studio to one of the largest and most vibrant community and professional printmaking facilities in Southern Africa. We accommodate up to 100 students per year, hosting, publishing, and providing print edition facilities and collaborative projects to our many artists.

AVA was founded by members in the late 19th century. Its legacy is that its initial art collection forms the core of the South African National Gallery, now part of Iziko Museums. The association occupied a space in the old Argus Building, then a series of temporary spaces, until 1971, when the historic building at 35 Church Street was renovated as gallery space and handed to the SAAA, now the AVA. In 2002, the new owner of the building confirmed the AVA Gallery presence in partnership with Spier. In addition to hosting more than 35 exhibitions of contemporary South African art annually, AVA runs an active ArtReach programme. Initiated in the late 1980s, this fund serves to assist deserving visual artists, “a la carte”-style, with their art requirements. Over the years, AVA’s ArtReach programme has funded a broad spectrum of art needs, including art materials, workshops, tuition, framing, studio rental, marketing collateral, exhibition costs, catalogues entries to biennales and performance events and more. Funds raised for ArtReach are administered by a sub-committee of AVA, consisting of registered board members. iQhiya are recipients of ArtReach (2016). Increasingly, amongst its exhibition programme, the AVA engages in international exchange partnerships with like-minded arts organisations, arts councils and at times the private sector. Scheduled for 2016/2017 are exchanges involving Zimbabwe, the Eastern Cape and Botswana.

National Gallery of Zimbabwe

Origins Centre

The National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Harare is a centre of national culture that is devoted both to the presentation of contemporary art and to the preservation of the country’s visual heritage. The museum is home to a valuable and interesting collection of paintings, masks, images and sculptures ranging from the beginnings of African art through to the post-colonial phase. The museum’s programme is far reaching and all inclusive embodying Ubuntu/Untu/Unhu. Projects interrogate our place in the contemporary framework and provide interpretations that best present the Zimbabwean place in the global contemporary art discourse.

The Origins Centre is a world-class museum dedicated to exploring and celebrating the history of modern humankind, telling the story of the emergence of human beings and humanity in southern Africa. Origins is home to a vast array of palaeoanthropological, archaeological and genetic materials charting the origins, evolution, and development of humankind. These include ancient stone tools, artefacts of symbolic and spiritual significance, and examples of the region’s visually striking rock art. Our current temporary exhibition, The Origins of Walter Battiss: “Another Curious Palimpsest,” revolves around the rock art work of Walter Battiss. It features more than 80 works on public display for the first time, showing how his experiences with San rock art shaped him as an artist. The show includes his watercolour copies of rock art on cellophane, the final versions he made on paper as well as his pencil sketches and original fieldwork notebooks, as well as original rock art pieces he removed. The exhibition explores Battiss as a rock art copyist, as a collector, and as an artist, and reveals how and why this important collection has been conserved. One of the painted stones on display, the ‘Voortrekker Stone’ is soon to be on loan to the Rijksmuseum in Holland – so there is an opportunity to see it first at the Origins Centre.

The Claire & Edoardo Villa Will Trust Arriving in South Africa in 1942 as a prisoner of war, Edoardo Villa made Johannesburg his permanent home, becoming South Africa’s most celebrated contemporary sculptor. On his passing, Villa bequeathed his estate to the Claire & Edoardo Villa Will Trust to perpetuate and enhance his name, reputation and establish a bursary to promote the study of art, in particular sculpture. The Trust’s first public engagement in Johannesburg reveals its work to date. Niel Niewoud and Jake Singer received travel scholarships, whilst the following 10 artists received grants to produce sculptures for the 2016 NIROX Winter Sculpture Exhibition A Place in Time curated with Helen Pheby of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park: Joni Brenner, Hannelie Coetzee, Raimi Gbadamosi, Haroon Gunn-Salie, Michele Mathison, MohauModisekeng, Lwandiso Njara, Mary Sibande, Johan Thom and Berco Wilsenach.

Fourthwall Books

Jacana

Fourthwall Books publishes cutting-edge, out-of-the-ordinary books on art, architecture and visual culture. Our books combine striking images with the very best of South African writing and design. Because of our uncompromising approach to quality and our quest to find interesting and unusual stories, our books have found their way into major international museums and bookstores. Fourthwall Books does not reproduce other models of art-book publishing but has found a new formula for local art publishing. Each project takes seriously the relationship between image and text. At the same time our books are about our local context, and have something to say about our city and our country. In these first five years of our existence, we have made books about Johannesburg, Marikana, public space, migration, xenophobia, the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, a renegade South African composer, Afrikaans youth culture, mine effluent, Joburg taxi drivers, a flea market in Cape Town, child abuse, the first black South African opera company. Some of our books include translations: into isiZulu, isiXhosa, Setswana, Portuguese, French or Afrikaans. In these first five years, we have published 35 books and won five prestigious awards: the 2010 Jane Jacobs Best Urban Book Award (New York) for Writing the City into Being; the 2011 Antalis Book Design Award for Fire Walker; the 2015 Jan Rabie Rapport Prize for Non-Fiction for Nagmusiek; the 2015 Kyknet Rapport Prize for Fiction for Nagmusiek; and the 2016 Eugene Marais prize for Nagmusiek.

Jacana Media is a ground breaking and fiercely independent publisher that produces books in the fields of the arts, natural history, fiction, South African history and current affairs, as well as life skills and educational material for public and school libraries. We publish work from some of the most imaginative and clear-thinking minds of our time. Our books respond to the challenges of the moment and provoke debate. In addition to our own publishing, we are very proud to distribute for Prestel Publishing, among others, in Southern Africa. Prestel is one of the world’s leading illustrated book publishers with a stunning list of beautifully crafted books on all aspects of art, architecture, photography and design.

ART AFRICA

Steidl meets MAKER

ART AFRICA magazine is dedicated to building new audiences and developing a fresh generation of collectors from Africa and beyond. Our quarterly flagship print publication boasts a history of over 13 years of art publishing and is supplemented by established digital and social media platforms. ART AFRICA invites critical reflection and debate about contemporary art from Africa with a current trajectory into five specific global art regions that include Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia, the USA and the Global South. Through media partnerships, ART AFRICA is a regular feature at global art events and continues to build on its reputation as the go-to platform for those who wish to reach and talk to the most relevant and engaged audiences. AFRICA’s time is now and we invite you to ‘JOIN THE CONVERSATION’.

MAKER, founded in 2009 by Lunetta Bartz, was developed as a platform to combine her various interests in art, design and furniture. Lucia Duncan joined MAKER in 2010. Together they have worked exclusively with photographer, Santu Mofokeng, since 2009. Gerhard Steidl began working as a designer and printer in 1967. He started out printing posters for art exhibitions, and very soon Joseph Beuys and other artists were among his customers. In 1972, the first Steidl book, “Befragungzurdocumenta” (“Questioning documenta”) was published. From political non-fiction he expanded into literature and selected art and photography books. All Steidl books are designed and produced under the same roof. Every title gets its own special format and book design. In 2012 Gerhard Steidl published his first South African photography monograph. In 2013 Santu Mofokeng’s The Black Photo Album won Steidl gold at The German Photobook Prize, this photobook was copublished together with MAKER and The Walther Collection. MAKER continues to collaborate with Steidl on various projects including the establishment of Steidl meets MAKER as the exclusive retail platform in South Africa for all Steidl publications.

Art Publications Platforms Exhibition hosted by The Sowetan’s ‘S Mag’

Santu Mofokeng presented by Steidl + MAKER Santu Mofokeng was born in Soweto in 1956, and as a teenager began to ply his trade in the township as a street photographer. Following stints as a quality-control tester for a pharmaceutical lab and a darkroom assistant for various newspapers, he resumed photographing regularly in Soweto around 1985, the year he joined the Afrapix Collective. His portrayals of scenes and individuals in Soweto form an open-ended counternarrative marked by nuance, intimacy and ambiguity. “It is not that the violence and squalor we have become so accustomed to seeing are not real,” he has noted. “It is just that they are partial realities that do not encompass people’s lives.” Commissioned by the 2016 FNB JoburgArtFair, this installation of photographs is a special preview of a forthcoming internationally touring exhibition of Mofokeng’s work being organized by US-based curator Joshua Chuang and produced by the worldrenowned printer Gerhard Steidl, in collaboration with MAKER. The exhibition is based upon the forthcoming cycle of photobooks Santu Mofokeng

Stories that will be completed in 2017. Notably, the majority of the pictures to be featured were unearthed recently from Mofokeng’s archive by the artist and Chuang, and are being shown for the first time.

Partnerships in Action

Lalela

Orange Babies

Lalela has partnered with the FNB JoburgArtFair to create this year’s Educational Programme at the Fair. A specially designed, self-guided tour will offer learners the opportunity to engage with artists and artworks in new, exciting and meaningful ways. Lalela provides educational arts for at-risk youth to spark creative thinking and awaken the entrepreneurial spirit. Youth living in poverty and low-income communities are robbed of the opportunities that every child deserves and it has become a vicious cycle. Growing up in at-risk environments without adequate education and support these youth turn to drugs, violence and crime which perpetuate an endless circle of challenge and struggle for our communities. Our Role in arts education is to help blaze the trail in whole brain thinking with a proven path to innovation and new job creation. Our programs create permanent change with positive outlooks, community role models and the mindset for our students to design a more certain future for themselves and their communities. LALELA creates a safe space for youth when they are most vulnerable and uses the transformative power of ART to develop and inspire skills that can change a child’s life. We offer tuition-free weekly after-school and daily holiday workshops to grade 1 through 12 learners in communities where there is very little exposure to the arts. Where we work: Imizamo Yethu, Hangberg, Masiphumelele, Mfuleni, Nyanga, Happy Valley, Durban, Rorke’s Drift, and Maboneng, Johannesburg. LALELA also runs programmes with partners in Northern Uganda and South Bronx, NYC.

Established in 1999, Orange Babies focuses on the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV and the care of orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa, Namibia and Zambia. In South Africa, Orange Babies funds Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission Projects in Soweto and Limpopo and has a Mobile Health Unit that provides HIV testing and counseling to people in the remotest rural villages of Limpopo. Orange Babies also funds orphaned and vulnerable children projects around Johannesburg and in Cape Town as well as several early childhood development facilities. Our ultimate aim is to help achieve an HIV free generation. David Goldblatt is renowned for his documentation of the progress of societal changes and how these impact on the landscape and South African communities. This work is from the artists ongoing series Intersections which consists of stark landscapes shot in South Africa. Part of the series documents the impact of the HIV AIDS pandemic. A large portion of the proceeds of the sale of the works by David Goldblatt presented in the Orange Babies booth are being donated to Orange Babies Directors Audrey Mothupi, Prof Glenda Gray, Karin De Beer, Ben Maimele, Baba Sylla, Evert Van der Veer Children’s Memorial Institute, Joubert Str Ext, Braamfontein 2017, Johannesburg +27 11 484 0262 victoria@orangebabies.org.za www.orangebabies.org.za

Art Platformsin Action Partnerships

The Click Foundation The Click Foundation was established in 2012 with the premise to innovate and test educational, technology-based solutions that have potential to scale and meaningfully impact education for individuals. We believe that through effective implementation, technology can shift the paradigm of education delivery. It is efficient, cost effective, individualised, scalable and able to plug gaps in learning. We are currently working with an online reading programme called Reading Eggs and working with over 18 000 learners across SouthÂ Africa. Ellerman House ArtAngels is an annual charity art auction and party for the benefit of The Click Foundation and their implementation partners. Hosted in collaboration with Ellerman House, Cape Town and Everard Read Gallery, top South African artists generously donate their art to this exclusive, invite only event. It also offers the best of South African food and wine, with top South African chefs showcasing their culinary expertise and pairing their food with some of our best local wine offerings. Over R11.5 million has been raised to date. Our installation at the art fair is to thank all the artists who have so generously donated their valuable works of art to Ellerman House ArtAngels auction. This auction has over the past 5 years, been heralded as one of the premier South African art auctions for charity and this would not have been possible without the artists. Involvement with the FNB JoburgArtFair gives us a platform to thank our loyal artists for their contribution to education in this country through The Click Foundation.

Art appreciation is our business.

Think about it. Insurance is typically designed to protect assets that depreciate over time yet your irreplaceable art and collectables, are appreciating in value. Protecting them effectively â&#x20AC;&#x201C; against repair, restoration or theft - requires cover that is as unique as the works themselves. Regardless of our preferences for Banksy or Boticelli, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we can all appreciate, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it?
