Preview of The Trinity Session’s REVIEW Exhibition
garners positive response from Jozi arts community
On 15 March 2012, The Trinity Session previewed its REVIEW Exhibition inside the factorybuilding at 281 Commissioner Street, Johannesburg. The Trinity Session’s two founding members, Stephen Hobbs and Marcus Neustetter, are celebrating ten years of collaboration by displaying videos, photography, mind maps and artifacts from a dense archive of research on large projection surfaces.
Hobbs/Neustetter Depth Threats
Catalogue Text October 2010
Ancient unwritten Norwegian; laws protecting free public access to sea and sky and such topographical features as ‘woods, fields, mountains, rivers, lakes and skerries, irrespective of who owns them’, comes across as utopian fantasy to Johannesburg, city-bound cultural producers Hobbs/Neustetter, and resultantly presents a challenge to the duo to develop a project that interrogates and intervenes, through an experiential approach to this notion of public rights and freedom to traverse land and sea.
Hobbs/Neustetter’s approach was developed in two parts, the first involving navigating and camping on a number of islands in the Austevoll region – south west of Bergen and the second part, a translation of this experience into the gallery space of Stieftelsen, 314, Bergen. Read more…
Hobbs/Neustetter is working in collaboration with a group of 10 artists from Alexandra and 6 partner artists from Zimbabwe and Mozambique on an experimental intervention that looks at questions of xenophobia, border-crossing and contextual value systems.
KLIPTOWN 2011-1.2 MB pdf
Kliptown is one of the oldest suburbs of Soweto. In addition it is an area steeped in rich history. Kliptown was the location of the signing and declaration of the Freedom Charter of 1955. In June 1955 countless members and supporters of various anti-apartheid political parties, groups, members and supporters came together to set out their grievances, aims and aspirations of their struggle against the oppressive government.
