Timeline - Artistic Practice in Southern Africa/1899-2003


http://www.culturebase.net/artist.php?147
http://www.powerofculture.nl/en/policy/senegal.html
http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Birds-Time-Revolution-Essays/dp/0151001685/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212671428&sr=1-5

The tensions created by official policies of racial segregation shape the course of artistic practice in much of southern Africa. The firm and rigorous establishment of British colonial rule throughout the region (with the exception of Portuguese East Africa, or Mozambique ) and nineteenth-century attitudes espousing racial inequality after World War I solidify into South African apartheid. While the region witnesses the development of cosmopolitan art academies, universities, and museums, benefiting especially from the influx of European intellectuals fleeing World War II, black Africans are largely excluded from these elite institutions. Nonetheless, the art world provides an important site for the interaction of black and white southern Africans, as white artists and scholars gain inspiration from African visual aesthetics and begin to collaborate with their black counterparts. The nature of these relationships ranges from the aesthetic experiments of museum director Frank McEwen in Southern Rhodesia to the more egalitarian artistic alliances forged within the New Group or at the Polly Street Centre workshops in South Africa. Beginning in the 1970s, many black and white South African artists assume a distinctly activist stance, using their art to protest the disenfranchisement of black southern Africans through apartheid. Their sentiments and activities are supported by the African National Congress, the primary political advocate against apartheid that is involved in efforts both inside and outside Africa to mobilize international opposition to South Africa's separatist policies. After apartheid's collapse in 1991 and the removal of the United Nations cultural boycott on South Africa, the global audience for southern African artists broadens significantly.


• 1899–1902 The United Kingdom clashes with the Boer settlers in a final effort to subdue the independent Boer republics and unite them with its own South African colonies. They are aided by the Tswana and other native populations. Boer women and children are contained in prison camps with poor sanitation and health care; between 1900 and 1901, approximately 28,000 out of 117,000 inmates die of disease.

• 1903 In German southern Africa, (present-day Namibia), thousands of indigenous Herero peoples are massacred by German colonial troops in response to a Herero rebellion against German colonial rule.

• 1911 Lucy Lloyd publishes Specimens of Bushman Folklore, a compilation of interviews with San individuals and sketches of rock paintings accumulated by herself and linguist Wilhelm Bleek in the 1870s. It provides the cornerstone for later study of the San people and the rock art that has been attributed to them.

• 1912 The African National Congress (ANC), a political organization dedicated to protecting the rights of black South Africans, is founded in South Africa.

• 1925 Author Thomas Mofolo publishes Chaka the Zulu in Sotho, an indigenous southern African language. The history of Chaka becomes an important touchpoint for black South African pride.

• 1930 Mhudi, an historical novel about the Baralong Uprising of 1830 by Tshekisho Plaatje, is published in South Africa.

• 1938 Walter Battiss (1906–1982), Alexis Preller (1911–1975), and other young South African artists coalesce as the New Group in response to the British-inspired academicism of current South African art. Having seen indigenous African artworks such as San rock paintings, the artists seek an alternative modern art rooted in the integration of African and European aesthetics, and organize exhibitions showing work of black South African artists such as painter Gerard Sekoto (1913–1993). The New Group, and South African artists in general, benefit from the immigration of European intellectuals fleeing the totalitarian regimes emerging in Europe at this time.

• 1940 Black Africans from French and English colonies are conscripted into the war against Nazi Germany.

• 1946 French citizenship is extended to all inhabitants of French colonies.

• 1947 Malagasy nationalists lead a revolt against the French colonial administration in Madagascar.

• 1948 Apartheid in South Africa commences as the Afrikaner National Party comes to power under the leadership of Daniel F. Malan and the all-white parliament.

• 1948 The Polly Street Centre is established in Johannesburg as a community center for black township youths. Cecil Skotnes (born 1926) becomes the director of the arts workshop in 1952, and encourages students to study West and Central African sculpture. Artists such as Durant Sihlali, Ephraim Ngatane, Sydney Kumalo, Ben Macala, Louis Maqhubela, Lucas Sithole, and Helen Sebidi receive their initial training there.

• 1948 Cry, the Beloved Country, a novel about life under apartheid in South Africa, is published by Alan Paton. In 1995, the novel is adapted into a film, directed by South African Darrell James Roodt and staring James Earl Jones.

• 1948 South African artist Ernest Mancoba (1904–2002) participates in the HØST COBRA exhibition in Copenhagen.

• 1950s–60s Amancio Guedes, a Portuguese architect residing in Maputo, Mozambique, organizes informal workshops for young artists. Among the participants is Malangatana Ngwenya (born 1936), whose paintings are later shown by the Mbari Artists and Writers Club in Ibadan, Nigeria.

• 1951 Drum, a magazine devoted to African news and events, is founded in South Africa. Its abundant photography provides a visual chronicle of the decades before and during the independence of the continent's former colonies.

• 1954 Frank McEwen (1907—1994), a British artist active in the Parisian avant-garde movements of the 1930s, helps establish the National Gallery of Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) and becomes its first director in 1956. Like other figures of the international art world in the late 1940s and '50s (such as Jackson Pollock), McEwen is interested in Jungian concepts of the collective unconscious. He attempts to cultivate what he terms the "innate African aesthetic" lurking within the indigenous subconscious by providing aspiring African artists with art materials. McEwen is particularly inspired by the stone sculptures found among the ruins of Great Zimbabwe and encourages his students, who are the Shona descendants of Great Zimbabwe's builders, to experiment with stone carving as a means of channeling creative forces held over from earlier times. Thomas Mukarobgwa, Paul Gwichiri, Samuel Songo, Nicholas Mukomberanwa, Joram Mariga, and John Takawira, who represent the core artists associated with the project, work in a semi-abstracted organic style reflecting concepts drawn from Shona mythology. In 1965, the newly formed white minority government of Ian Smith blacklists McEwen for fraternizing with black Africans and in 1969 the studio project is forced out of the National Gallery.

• 1958 South Africa gains independence from England.

• 1960 Madagascar gains independence from France.

• 1960 The African Art Centre is founded in Durban, South Africa, to promote the work of rural and urban artists in KwaZulu-Natal. Grassroots art forms such as contemporary beadwork, pottery, and basketry woven from colored telephone wire and grasses are patronized by providing income and outlets for creative innovation among local artisans. Many of these art forms are expressive of social movements mobilized against racial inequality, women's rights, and, since the 1980s, the spread of HIV/AIDS.

• 1961 South Africa becomes a republic but withdraws from the Commonwealth of Nations because of its official apartheid stance.

• 1961 South African playwright Athol Fugard publishes The Blood Knot. His dramatic works, which include Boesman and Lena (1969) and "Master Harold"–and the Boys (1982), scrutinize the relations between black and white South Africans.

• 1962 The First International Congress of African Culture, organized by Frank McEwen to discuss the aesthetics of contemporary African art, is held in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). Participating artists include Malangatana Ngwenya, Vincent Kofi, and Ben Enwonwu. Alfred Barr of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Nigerian historian S. O. Biobaku, the British Surrealist painter Roland Penrose, and Tristan Tzara, founder of the Zurich Dada movement, attend.

• 1963 At the Rivonia trial, Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki, Ahmed Kathrada, and other South African liberation leaders are found guilty of conspiracy and sabotage and are sentenced to life in prison.

• 1963 Sirens, Knuckles, Boots, a collection of poetry in protest against apartheid by South African poet Dennis Brutus, is published in Nigeria while the author is in prison in South Africa.

• 1963 FRELIMO (Frente de Libertação de Moçambique) commences its armed struggle against the Portuguese in Mozambique.

• 1963 Egon Guenther, Cecil Skotnes, Cecily Sash, Giuseppe Cattaneo, Sydney Kumalo, and Edoardo Villa, artists interested in employing European modernist styles to depict African subjects, form the Amadlozi Group (amadlozi is a Zulu term meaning "spirit of the ancestors").

• 1964 Malawi and Zambia gain independence from Britain.

• 1966 Lesotho and Botswana gain independence from Britain.

• 1966–70s Tom Blomefield, a trained artist and tobacco farmer in Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe), organizes a stone carving workshop among his migrant farmworkers with the help of Malawian artist Lemon Moses. Works created by Henry Munyaradzi, Bernard Matemera, Josia Manzi, and Amali Mailolo, among others, are exhibited at the National Gallery under the sponsorship of Frank McEwen.

• 1970s–80s As opposition to apartheid grows, many South African artists utilize their creative abilities to speak out against racial oppression. Artist collectives such as Afrapix, formed in 1985 by a group of multiracial photographers, seek to expose and redress the conditions of life under apartheid. They receive support from the African National Congress, which, in 1987, joins the Dutch anti-apartheid movement in sponsoring the creation of Culture in Another South Africa (CASA) in Amsterdam. An accompanying conference organized to discuss the future of a multiracial South Africa attracts over 300 South African artists.

• 1975 Mozambique gains independence from Portugal.

• 1976 Gibson Kente's (born 1932) How Long Must We Suffer…? is the first black-made film in South Africa. It is filmed during the Soweto uprising in the Eastern Cape.

• 1983 The Life and Times of Michael K, by South African writer J. M. Coetzee, is awarded the Booker Prize.

• 1984 South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

• 1984–90s Inspired by the New York Triangle Workshop, which cultivates short-term, intensive creative collaborative works by international artists, South African artists Bill Ainslie (1934–1989) and David Koloane (born 1938) organize the Thupelo Workshop in Johannesburg. The success of Thupelo spawns a series of Triangle International Workshops held throughout Africa, including Botswana (1989), Mozambique (1991), Zambia (1993), Namibia (1994), and Senegal (1994).

• 1985 Tributaries: A View of Contemporary South African Art opens in Johannesburg. The exhibition brings together the work of both urban and rural African artists to explore the role played by "transitional" art in the mediation between traditional African and international aesthetics.

• 1985 Video News Service (VNS) is formed with the assistance of the liberation movement and overseas financial support. Fifteen- to twenty-minute videos are created as a type of news network distributed covertly across the country. These short documentaries cover vigilante killings, the corrupt electoral process, human rights activism, and political resistance.

• 1986 Gavin Jantjes (born 1948), from South Africa, is among the featured artists in From Two Worlds, an exhibition of contemporary African art held at Whitechapel Art Gallery in London.

• 1987 Saturday Night at the Palace, based on the award-winning play about racial tension in contemporary South Africa, is adapted into a film later featured at the 1988 Seattle Film Festival.

• 1987 The film Fiela se Kind (Fiela's Child), adapted from the book by author Dalene Matthee, launches the career of South African actor Jan Ellis.

• 1987 Mapantsula (Hustler) is the first anti-apartheid feature film by and about black South Africans. Directed by Oliver Schmitz (born 1960) and shot in Soweto, the film contains a multilingual emphasis, featuring Afrikaans, English, Sotho, and Zulu.

• 1988 Freedom Square—Back of the Moon, a documentary on the first black urban area in South Africa to be bulldozed for whites under the Group Areas Act, is co-directed by artist William Kentridge.

• 1988/89 The Johannesburg Art Gallery hosts The Neglected Tradition: Towards a New History of South African Art (1930–1988), curated by Steven Sack. As its title implies, the exhibition attempts to illuminate the largely unrecognized creative achievements of artists stifled by apartheid policies. The display consists of the work of one hundred black artists, including that of Gladys Mgudlandlu (1917–1979), considered the first black woman painter from the region.

• 1989 Newly elected South African president F. W. De Klerk announces his program to reform the apartheid system.

Largely self-taught, the artist is a keen observer who utilizes oil paints and watercolors to depict and document aspects of black South African existence.

The Venice Biennale
The name Biennale is Italian and means "every other year". The most important Biennale is an art exhibition that takes place for three months in Venice, The Venice Biennale . Venice Biennale

Documenta
documenta is one of the world‘s most important art exhibitions of contemporary art which takes place every five years in Kassel, Germany.

http://www.konstlistan.se/art/artfair/artfair.htm

The "documenta 12" magazines are a collective worldwide editorial project linking over eighty print and online periodicals. In advance of the exhibition in Kassel "documenta 12" magazines have opened up a central site for reflection and visual contemplation. Since early 2006, influential journals in the realm of art, as well as specialist publications operating in discursive fields beyond the major art centres, have been publishing and discussing contributions - essays, interviews, photo reportages, features, interventions from artists and articles of fiction - in relation to "documenta 12's" three main themes: Is modernity our antiquity? What is bare life? What is to be done? The "documenta 12" magazine will subsequently assemble and summarize these debates and provide a selection of core texts and images. Good texts help us to understand more about what we see: in this sense, the "documenta 12" magazine aims to provide background knowledge prior to the exhibition, without restricting in any way the individual experience of viewing the artworks themselves.

Ethnopassion Mostra

LUGANO.- From 28 May to 23 August, the Galleria Gottardo in Lugano will be holding the world's first exhibition of the ethnic artworks collected by one of the twentieth century's greatest art patrons: Peggy Guggenheim. The idea behind the exhibition is to display the "exotic objects" that embellished the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni during the collector's lifetime. Since her death, they have been carefully restored and examined by scientific researchers. The restoration project was jointly launched by Galleria Gottardo, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice and the Museum of Cultures in Lugano with the aim of rediscovering the specific meaning of each object in itself and in the context in which it was purchased.

Peggy Guggenheim's passion for ethnic art dated back to the period of her tempestuous relationship with Max Ernst, who was a keen collector of this kind of art. When their relationship broke down in 1943, the artist left with all the works in his collection. After settling permanently in Venice and opening her collection to the general public, Peggy rekindled her interest in ethnic art, and, from 1959, she began to acquire works and exhibit them in her home, mixing them with contemporary artworks as she felt inclined. She developed a genuine passion, an involuntary, unconscious attraction for these objects, which was rooted in purelyphenomenal interest: she never felt a great need to find out more about their meaning and value. She appreciated their decorative nature, using them as a means of enhancing her interior design and keeping up with the latest fashions.Based on photographs from the period and the scarce information available on the subject, it is thought that her private collection consisted of around 50 artworks, mainly from Africa and Oceania; 35 of these remained in the estate of Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, where they have been conserved in the museum’s art storage.The exotic artefacts had always been considered valuable as part of Peggy's collection, but with uncertainty about the intrinsic value of the items in question when examined outside the classical canons of conventionally understood art in the West.One of the aims of the “Ethnopassion” exhibition is to transform this view, giving these objects not just the value that they have in the intellectual context that fanned Peggy Guggenheim's interest for ethnic art, but also an anthropological value arising from the study of the objects and their links with various periods and cultures.The mandate for the scientific analysis of the collection was given to the Museum of Cultures of the City of Lugano, under the direction of Francesco Paolo Campione. Thanks to him and his staff, in-depth analysis, including the accurate restoration of the objects, the creation of frames and supports, philological research and scientific classification of the works, visitors to the Galleria Gottardo can admire these artworks in their new found splendour and let their imaginations wander in the magical atmosphere that reigned in Peggy Guggenheim's palace on the banks of Venice’s Canal Grande, where art, style, passion and creativity met.The exhibition is curated by Franco Rogantini, Director of Galleria Gottardo and by Philip Rylands, Director of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice.
