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),

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.

bianca baldi’s project begins with a particular design object, The Louis
Vuitton Explorator. commissioned by Pierre savorgnan de brazza for
his expedition to congo, the highly stylised form of this explorer’s day
bed is capable of containing and unfolding not only physically but also
conceptually, the trappings and projections accompanying the aesthetic of
colonial ambition at Zero latitude. Along de brazza’s route down the congo
river, to the place that would eventually bear his name, baldi unpacks a
series of related ‘finds’, conscious of their symbolic capital, as well as the
power of elegant decontextualisation and erasure. the wild mythologising
of place and time, lived experience and its subsequent narration, are
presented in an installation which simultaneously transfixes and contests

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.

the conniving wheeler-dealer Jaeckie Zucker (Henry Hübchen) is up to
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…
Director Dani levy uses humour and irony to tell the fast-paced story
of his protagonist Jaeckie Zucker and the hurdles he must overcome.

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.
