“hunter-gatherer”, by South African artist Kai Lossgott
The wearable postconsumer plastic sculpture “hunter-gatherer”, from the “eternal life suit” series wanders the city streets pocketing fragments of waste. Playing librarian or museum curator of the everyday, the artist engages with the desire to order or clean away knowledge considered useless.
“apartheid and proximity”. The artist will discuss a de-centralised politics of place, environment and identity in his work, with reference to a selection of other South African contemporary artists.
