Rather, he introduces the element of motion into the mapmaking process, intimating the aspect of time in the exploration of geographical space. In fact, Neustetter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s art is about finding a method of referring to our experience of the coalescence of space and time.<\/p>\n<p>On the last evening of Neustetter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ascent of Kilimanjaro in December 2006 the night was so clear that the lights of the city of Moshi at the foot of the mountain seemed to be reflected in the stars of the sky. The sky above could as well have been a map of the landscape below. Neustetter generated digital maps of these reflections exploring the structural similarities of various spaces at specific times.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Neustetter considers his solo exhibition as an opportunity to articulate his ideas and concepts about dealing with a profound personal experience, and searching for the relationship between seemingly random occurrences in his life and subsequent visual \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctranslations\u00e2\u20ac\u2122. The exhibition includes an installation, digital traces, drypoint prints, drawings, photographs and images presented on SANSUI LCD screen.<\/p>\n<p>Marcus Neustetter was born in Johannesburg on 14 November 1976 and attended the Deutsche Schule zu Johannesburg. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, and his Masters Degree in 2001. During this time he launched sanman (Southern African New Media Art Network). He has been a professional artist since 2001 and, in partnership with Stephen Hobbs, has been developing The Gallery Premises, The Trinity Session and their artistic collaboration, Hobbs\/Neustetter, as documented in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onair.co.za\">www.onair.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Marcus Neustetter lives and works in Johannesburg, South Africa.<br \/>\nwww.marcusneustetter.net<\/p>\n<p><strong>Art on Paper Gallery<\/strong><br \/>\n44 Stanley Avenue Braamfontein Werf  (Milpark)<br \/>\nP O Box 91476 Auckland Park 2006 Johannesburg South  Africa<br \/>\n+27 11 726 2234  <a href=\"mailto:info@artonpaper.co.za\" target=\"_blank\">info@artonpaper.co.za<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.artonpaper.co.za\"> www.artonpaper.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marcus is one of my favorite people and favorite contemporary artist-thinkers in South Africa.
