From Memory to Marble
For the first time, the 92-metre frieze of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, one of the largest historical narratives in marble, has been made the subject of a book. The pictorial narrative of the Boer pioneers who conquered South Africa’s interior during the 'Great Trek' (1835-52) represents a crucial period of South Africa’s past. Conceptualising the frieze both reflected on and contributed to the country’s socio-political debates in the 19…

Creating/Curating Cultural Capital
Since the first democratic elections in 1994, South Africa has faced the challenge of creating new cultural capital to replace old racist paradigms, and monuments and museums have been deployed as part of this agenda of transformation. Monuments have been inscribed with new meanings, and acquisition and collecting policies have changed at existing museums to embrace a wider definition of culture. In addition, a series of new museums, often with a…
The Invention of New Zealand
The Apartheid Museum
The Apartheid Museum in South Africa is read through the lens of a condition of `prepossession', where histories of trauma continue to haunt a site while manifesting affectively through spatial ambiguities, which lead to an experience of `empathetic unsettledness'. Paradoxes concerning the provenance of the building and its location are discussed. An analysis follows of changing registers of spatiality through selected key areas of the complex, w…

Banners, batons and barbed wire
Anti-apartheid campaigns dated back to at least the 1960s in New Zealand, when Maori players in early All Black teams were prohibited from playing rugby in South Africa. Protests peaked in 1981 when the Springbok—All Black rugby tour was played in New Zealand; it divided the country and brought it to the brink of civil war. Like so many others, artists participated in the public demonstrations and campaigns, but they also sought ways to use their…
Unsettled/Unsettling images
Postcolonial scholarship has come to acknowledge that the binary opposition of coloniser and colonised fails to take account of the ambivalent position of the settler, who is neither imperial oppressor nor indigenous oppressed. In South Africa the position was further complicated by the aberrant amalgam of the characteristics of a colony of occupation with those of a colony of settlement, almost from the outset of European occupation

A Betrayal of Material
The new materials of twentieth-century technology provided both the means and the inspiration for the three-dimensional works of the Constructivists. Plastic, which was particularly versatile, was employed frequently by Naum Gabo and his brother Antoine Pevsner to realise the innovative sculptural forms advocated in their “Realistic Manifesto” of 1920. In Gabo’s more organic works and linear compositions of the 1930s and 1940s, it can even be pos…
