TIME_FRAME Durban / 2010
Intersections are physical, conceptual, psychological and philosophical spaces where people,
ideas and objects interact. Intersections mark meeting points in our cities and lives. The
purpose of TIME_FRAME Durban / 2010 is to explore the intersections of space, place and
people in the context of the 2010 World Cup from a grounded and people-centred perspective.
With funding from the Mondriaan Foundation, dala (www.dala.org.za) is hosting 10
creative practitioners for a 10 day new media experiment in Durban
Durban drive by
Jan 14th
These are some photos I took of buildings in Durban on a Sunday drive by. It is remarkable how easy it is to objectify architecture and make a city appear so devoid of people. I almost don’t recognize my own city in these pictures, but there is something about the blue sky…
The first series are of shells of buildings that were torn down in the Point area as part of the municipality’s massive gentrification plan.
This one is from the new residential development just behind the facades.
The rest are from a range of places between the Esplanade (Margaret Mncadi) and South Coast Road.
a city
Jun 29th
a city, an interactive multimedia instillation by Dean and I, emerged out of the Young Artist’s Project hosted by the KZNSA in 2004. a city was also installed in the Durban Art Gallery and at Prog:Me (Rio) subsequent to the exhibition at the KZNSA. We are quite excited about the possibilities of in the intersection between art, technology, space and society.
These are some screen shots from the installation:
These are from the opening performance at the KZNSA where the sound of and band played, featuring Daniel Sheldon and KingB amongst many others.
This is me and Dean standing in front of the installation screen. Thanks Storm.
