public art projects, Wits 3rd years

To be perfectly honest, I struggled with which works to feature on this show, and perhaps it’s a cop-out to finally go with none. Truth be told, the most inspiring thing about its opening was the turn-out. Amidst Marina Abramovic and Paolo Canevari, to have such a large crowd of supporters at a local, student show is inspiring. I think it was part of Abramavic’s point at her talk, too, no? It’s our job to provoke, and this includes teaching and nurturing young artists to do the same.

That being said, the Trinity Session have really outdone themselves. It’s my understanding that this exhibition is a result of their provocations in and around what it means to make public art. Some works take risks, others are pretty, still others invite us in, to complete – or interact with – the work.

Go and support some more.
