The exhibition presents fourteen projects by young architects from

germany that have been completed abroad mainly since 2004. the

selected examples from construction, interior design, urban design and

landscape architecture show how these architects approach working in

foreign environments, how they redefine and add to existing buildings, and

how they create new ones under unusual conditions. they come up with

sensitive solutions for challenges in architecture today, always with an eye

on the future, sustainability, and new technologies.

contrary to today’s global media interest in the spectacular and the star,

this exhibition presents innovative architectural projects that confidently

and quietly take a pragmatic approach, concentrating entirely on the

locations for which they were created.

An exhibition by the institute for foreign cultural relations e. V. (ifa),

stuttgart, in cooperation with the federal chamber of german Architects

belonging, as well as the possibilities inherent in dislocation, or a lack of

anchoring, and the routes one takes to find a way. sub-titled ‘field notes

on time travel and space’, the exhibition examines notions of spatial

politics, the economics of time and travel, and the kinds of access granted

to travellers. the travels of three different wanderers are juxtaposed as

temporal sculptures to chronicle the personal experience of journeying

within the home, neighbourhood and country, as well as the act of

departing for distant places.

Peregrinate features the work of three photographers: south Africans

thabiso sekgala and Musa nxumalo, and Kenyan Mimi cherono ng’ok.

The exhibition explores the concept of photography as a common method

of investigation, discovery and representation – an act of wandering

undertaken by the photographer as traveller and explorer.

Jointly curated by the featured photographers, this exhibition is the final

stage for the three participants as part of the goethe-institut portfolio

workshop, the Photographers Master Class.

Would you like to experience language diversity and european culture all

in one day? then this event will definitely be for you. And the best thing

about it is: you won´t even have to sit on a plane for 12 hours to be part of

it. so come and join us when we celebrate the european Day of languages

this year. the event has been celebrated worldwide since 2001 as an

initiative of the council of europe in order to promote linguistic diversity.

in south Africa, a country with 11 national languages, multilingualism is an

everyday occurrence so it comes as no surprise that we and our European

partners in Johannesburg decided to join in the festivities this year.

Whether you are interested in studying or working abroad, enjoy travelling

or simply would like to widen your horizon: learning a foreign language

will not only  enable you to communicate with foreigners in their mother

tongue, it will also help you get to know their cultures. We therefore invite

you to experience a joyful day with a selection of european short movies,

a language learning area with free trial lessons and a market that will offer

VIDEO InStaLLatIOn‘RISE FOR YOU WILL nOt PERISh (on mummymAnIA)’ By ARteFAKte//AntI-humBoLDt21/09/2014, 18h30origins centre, cnr yAle & enocH sontongA, Wits uniVersity25/09/2014 – 28/09/2014cAPe toWn, DetAils to be confirMeD

Rise for you will not perish (on mummymania) contemplates the figure of

the mummy as a filmic „chronotopos“ dealing with the liminality of the

concept of „artefact“. As a colonial/egyptomanian appropriated dead body

- through forceful grave opening and illegitimate de-contextualisation -

the mummy opens up a field of attraction and conflict between subject

(human) and object (non-human), death and life, nature and culture, real

and representation. With the historical discovery of the tuntankhamun’s

tomb in 1922, the creepy along with the mummy’s curse supersedes the

mysterious, the fantastic and the curious associated with the mummy of

the early films. in the museum or on the way there, the mummy becomes

disparate and dangerously destructive: it/(s)he embodies the undying

resistance against the idea of objectification, reification; it/(s)he activates

diachrony – the curse, the revenge, the unresolved history. it is only when

the mummy’s corpse falls into dust that the mummy in film finds satisfying

closure. However the presence of dead bodies in the cellars of our

museums persists. it is here that the buried paradigms tainted with shame

lie in wait while the possibility of a new metamorphosis announces itself.

brigitta Kuster, regina sarreiter and Dierk schmidt (Artefakte//anti-

humboldt) present the video installation as a commented screening.

Hamburg-based jazz trio cnirbs are on a tour of seven different African

countries with their new record Hey Kollege, and will play for the first time

in south Africa on 7 october at the orbit Jazz club. Members of the trio are

keyboardist and composer Matthäus Winnitzki, drummer Konrad ullrich

and trumpet and euphonium player stephan Meinberg. the three “cnirbses”

routinely push the boundaries of jazz with their wild rhythms, undertak-

ing brief musical forays into related genres. you can hear borrowings from

alternative rock in their music, as well as electronic elements and influences

from African and caribbean music. With their keyboard, brass and percus-

sion instruments, a panoply of cables, flashing little lights and mysterious

foot pedals, with their verve and painstakingly-achieved lightness of touch

and sound, a live performance by cnirbs is a delightful experience.

everyday public practice, the collective MADeyoulooK is interested

in unpacking ordinary practices that may be overlooked as simple and

inconsequential, but through deeper reflection, act as vehicles for multi-

layered conversations.

Corner loving, the practice of lovers meeting on street corners, though

seemingly naïve, is in fact an indication of broader social factors - it is

a signifier for how public and private spaces coalesce due to a range

of specific social circumstances. the use of public space, particularly

the bustling streets of the inner city, for private intimacy, is a logical

contradiction of complex urbanity.

the exhibition features drawings of corner loving sites, texts by

contemporary writers and from historical archives as well as a lecture

series that explores the various thematic aspects represented in the

practice of corner loving. lectures will be presented by thembinkosi

goniwe, Ashraf Jamal and Danai Mupotsa.

his neck in trouble – his wife (Hannelore elsner) wants a divorce, the

court bailiff is threatening him with jail. the only hope left for the former

german Democratic republic sports reporter is his mother’s inheritance.

in her will, however, she’s stipulated that Jackie must reconcile his

differences with his brother samuel (udo samel) an orthodox Jew. As

samuel and his entire clan move into Jaeckie’s chaotic household, the clash

of civilizations is inevitable. but the two stubborn brothers have no choice –

they have to get along…

nine urban biotopes (9ub) is an international, socially engaged art project

delivering artistic research and cultural exchange between South Africa

and europe.

While terry Kurgan resides in berlin and ra Hlasane explores london,

Anthony schrag is based within Drama for life (Dfl) - a department of

Wits university that enacts Applied Drama, Drama therapy and Drama

education for and with communities within Johannesburg.

 schrag is interested in the intersection of ‘institutions’ and ‘communities’

and for his project examines the intentions of ‘how we work with people‘

in an urban context. As such, he has developed “the school of no” which

exists as a parallel programme to Dfl which aims to unravel the notion

that ‘education is a form of colonization.’ Process-based, he will develop

a series of public performances and interventions, culminating in a final

event in mid-september.

the relationship between Africa and europe is significantly influenced

by the West’s representation of Africa which also affects contemporary

African politics, society and art. When german or european curators

develop exhibitions of contemporary African art and culture, they

frequently approach the subject matter from an ethnographic perspective.

the exhibition project Kehrwert / reciprocal Value by the state Art

collections Dresden with the goethe-institut reverses this perspective:

instead of curators from Germany presenting works by artists from

African countries, ethiopian anthropologist, curator, and writer Meskerem

Assegued develops interventions and the exhibition Curvature of Events

with works from the collections of the Old Masters Gallery and the New

Masters gallery in Dresden. the exhibition will include a colloquium on the

non-european view, an accompanying cultural programme and film series.

the project is funded by turn – fund for Artistic cooperation between

germany and African countries, which aims to encourage a wide range

of German institutions to shift their focus on the artistic production and

cultural debates in African countries.
