CAPE TOWN ART SEEN
A sobering start on the Waterfront Art Walkabout – a reminder to Remember Death in Life…..at the Everard Read Gallery…..
….with introduction from Everard curator Emma….at their steely gates
…where she introduced us to Angus Taylor’s heavy head…..
…Brett Murray’s fat gorilla…
…Dylan Lewis’s prowling tiger….
….and a storeroom of goodies in transit and in waiting including a naked lady and a wrapped rabbit…..
Moving on we pass Breakwater Prison graffiti…..requires a close look……
….and on the way past the Graduate School of Business, bump into Eduardo Villa’s Energetic Man XII…..
…..and Mohau Modisakeng’s broken button symbolising Cape Town’s failing textile industry….
Next to Nobel Square where we get to pat our favourite laureate…..
….and hear about their creation from artist Claudette Schreuders
….followed by a musical interlude from Didi and Jules…..
On past the Clock Tower and Cameron Platter’s ‘we need money’ planters….
With Culture Connect director and guide Kate Crane-Briggs leading the way….
…past the Radisson Red and Carl Fredrik Reuterward’s knotted non-violence gun inspired by John Lennon’s death…..
Some rusty wheels left over from the grain silo conversion into the Zeitz MOCCA, lead us to….
….the white hot foundry of Donald Grieg, where there were creatures of all kinds….
….including a sky walk of warthogs.
We saw, and heard, a whole lot more besides. And if you’d like to see and hear more, about this walk or any of her others, contact Kate of Culture 072 377 8014 Connect on www.cultureconnectsa.com
