'One Zero One' by Bronwen Vaughan-Evans at the NSA Mezzanine Gallery
Bronwen Vaughan-Evans will be presenting an exhibition of detailed small works (each measuring 13cm X 13cm) making up large-scale composite pieces. Each panel is intensely detailed and laboured and each has an iconic feel, incorporating everyday images from the artists` environment and life history. They are also, to an extent, an investigation into the nature of nationality and identity as well as reference to childhood memories, which are often visual rather than verbal.Some of the works are historical, and contain images from junior school textbooks; others make reference to nursery rhymes or resemble pop-art depictions of common South African products. Many of the works include found objects which range from small plastic toys to old badges and emblems that reflect fragments of our past.
Vaughan-Evans' subject matter is chosen almost at random, like a flow of thought in which no single image is more or less significant than any other. Through this, the works acquire the shifting qualities of small flashes of memory and dream.
The title of the exhibition 'One Zero One', refers primarily to the number of small works that make up the composite piece, but also makes reference to binary systems. Each work, like the zeros and the ones that make up the binary code, has an alternating level of significance that is dependant on its position relative to the other works. It is only when the individual digits of binary are grouped together that fluctuating patterns begin to emerge and acquire meaning.
Vaughan-Evans received her Masters of Arts in Fine Art in 1995 from the University of Natal. She has lectured there part time and is also a qualified art teacher. She is currently a full-time artist, and was last year seen on the Brett Kebble Art Awards show in Cape Town. This is her first solo exhibition.
Opens: May 25 at 6pm
Closes: June 13

Notice the interplay between texture and light and dark.

Your posters should explain the definitions of tone and texture.

You could focus on the following:

What is the difference between actual texture and implied texture?
Explore a variety of ways of creating texture (e.g collage/ impasto/ drawing/ frottagge/ rubbings)

Your two drawing assignments for texture are:
   a) creating 3-dimensional balls from the texture rubbings you have collected
   b) ceating an illusion of an egg with a variety of hairstyles.

Andries Botha: New Media

Your next theme is based on New Media for example analyse Andries Botha's Afrikaner c 1600

(dis)Appearance(s) – the artist’s statement

This exhibition, of sculptures and drawings, looks at creativity not only as an intimate language of individual expression but also acknowledges creativity as integrated into a broader framework of history and culture.

This exhibition pays particular attention to the role of men, masculinity as a metaphor for domination and control, how they have influenced history. Relationships which are developed between a father and a son, lay the framework for these masculine metaphors.

see Andries Botha's website for more information  http://www.andriesbotha.net/artwork_show.aspx?ArtworkId=32&YearStart=2006&YearEnd=2010

The importance of noticing the smaller things in life, paying attention to the intimate, understanding that we do not impact on the big epic events but rather influence the destinies of those closer to us.

It is necessary for us to remember the value of other people's lives and what they have done, even if we do not agree with them.

We need to live our lives closer to home, pay attention to the particular and acknowledge that our lives are shaped more by the idea of collectivity and less by individuality.

see the slideshow for more details. http://www.slideshare.net/NeithMoore/andries-botha-slides
