Festival, Sasolburg, South Africa, September 2002 A group show, curated by Lesley Cohn, of selected artworks submitted nationally for the competition. Sasol Corporation – the competition sponsor – is the largest producer of wax in the world and the competition was unique in that it challenged South African artists to create work in or through wax. The two categories: ‘Wax as the medium’ and ‘Wax as part of the process’ constituted the criteria by which works were judged. Air on the Skin (2002) – a one-off work – won the ‘Wax as the medium’ category. This 70 x 3 040 mm triptych was created by layering black shoe polish over pva-treated paper. The images were then scratched into this surface with a fine blade, gradually working from dark to light.

Exhibition view of Between Democracies 1989 – 2014: Memory and Commemoration , Constitution Hill, Johannesburg Between Democracies 1989 – 2014: Memory and Commemoration , Constitution Hill, Johannesburg, South Africa, 1 – 30 September 2015 The theme of this exhibition responds to the emergence from totalitarian rule that has been a historical reality for both East Central and East Southern Europe and South Africa since 1989/1994. It is a collaborative international project and artists considered both the historicisation of transitional trauma and the effects of regime change (both positive and negative) on the collective memories lingering in their respective national psyches. Their responses problematised both past memories and the current direction of social politics. The exhibition will be first hosted in Constitutional Hill, Johannesburg, South Africa, from 1-30 September 2015. This venue was selected because it is an exhibition space that is historically relevant to the fraught history of the struggle for democracy in South Africa. The exhibition will then be presented at the Dom umenia/Kunsthalle Bratislava in March – June 2016. Subsequent venues and dates in Europe to be announced. Curators: Judy Peter (University of Johannesburg, South Africa), Karen von Veh (University of Johannesburg, South Africa), Richard Gregor (Chief Curator of Dom umenia/Kunsthalle Bratislava, Slovakia), Cristian Nae (George Enescu University of Arts, Iasi, Romania), Ljiljana Kolesnik (Institute of Art History, Croatia).

Furthering the resurgence of dialogue around this ‘silent war’, the exhibition will endeavor to engage the complex personal and institutional discourse surrounding this conflict, as well as highlight the war’s continuing relevance and effect on South African society. Curated by David Brits, participating artists are Wayne Barker, Christo Doherty, Paul Emmanuel, John Liebenberg, Jo Ractliffe, Colin Richards, Chad Rossouw, Penny Siopis, Christopher Swift and Gavin Younge.
