CT: Sometimes I forget… @ Blank Projects

Submitted by SJ on February 28, 2009 – 11:14 amNo Comment

invitationjpgHang out in the BoKaap at the ‘vernissage’ this Wednesday the 4/3/09 of “Sometimes I forget that you exist” an exhibition that will be ‘developing’ over the month of March, ending on the 27th.  It’s curated by Trasi Henen and features contributing artists Francis Burger, Sebastian Charilaou, Zipho Dayile, Anja de Klerk, Douglas Gimberg, Mendi Pantsi, Werner Ungerer and Ed Young.

The liminal space is where binaries momentarily dissolve, the space in between…

Dominant culture is a victim of the Will (after Schopenhauer’s The World as Idea and Representation) and therefore perpetually oscillating between Desire and Ennui.

Desire is a state of potentiality. When the desired destination is reached, is this a tragedy?

Sometimes I forget that you exist is a collaborative research project around desire and the heterotopia. Participants are asked to engage with the above dialectic. The exhibition process is ongoing, and contingent, culminating in a closing event. In the two weeks leading up the exhibition, blank becomes the research studio which opens the project to dialogue and interventions.

Opening on Wed. 4 March 2009 @ 18h00
With a closing event Fri. 27 March 2009 @ 18h00

- Blank Projects is located at 198 Buitengracht Street, Bo-Kaap, Cape Town.
