Sponsored by Young Designers Emporium, which at the time promoted street fashion and youth culture which did not have a platform in mainstream retail, the event was hosted at the Castle by Soft Serve, a Public Eye initiative, curated by James Webb and encouraged to respond to the site specific location of the Castle of Good Hope and the concept of Desire because of the date's proximity to Valentines Day and the beginning of the second Gulf War. The parts of the puzzle could be popped out from the sheet and built to form a three dimensional heart. Words are also spelled out depending on how the puzzle is built saying the following: "Castles in the Sky", "Blinded by the Light", and "Cape of Good Hope". </span>Lynette Besterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07643946630772815700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894141123793081905.post-41097055484439224712009-12-09T05:26:00.000-08:002009-12-09T05:42:55.204-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0-dYabAXJKARVnv3-tAoYyxGG8ukttCkCBsmy5q8w4sPlLo2CrFtfrcdvjvL7bnBGIbbnNjk8V3qmW7B__1cVIGTOKGbWMrx8cDPWec4RgLZGG3iPny6dKBa0wqQuJkKp34UIL8W1w/s1600-h/Untitled+Sphere,for+VOYAGE+VISION+r%3D35cm,++2003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB0-dYabAXJKARVnv3-tAoYyxGG8ukttCkCBsmy5q8w4sPlLo2CrFtfrcdvjvL7bnBGIbbnNjk8V3qmW7B__1cVIGTOKGbWMrx8cDPWec4RgLZGG3iPny6dKBa0wqQuJkKp34UIL8W1w/s320/Untitled+Sphere,for+VOYAGE+VISION+r%3D35cm,++2003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413227475017673650" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Untitled (Sphere), r = 35cm, 2003<br />Super wood<br /><br />A sculpture made for VOYAGE VISION, a collaborative Fashion and Art Event, held at Studio One, Cape Town, initiated by Trevor Mitchel's CAPSULE CREATIVE. The sculpture was envisaged as an interactive puzzle during a Live fashion insert by MILK, challenging the untouchable status of traditional art. This sculpture has also been featured in an group exhibition at the Association of Visual Arts, entitled BALL SPORTS in 2009, curated by Kirsty Cockerill, in the lead up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup hosted by South Africa, but also ambiguously raising gender and power issues in the games people play.<br /></span>Lynette Besterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07643946630772815700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3894141123793081905.post-23724797896693236942009-12-09T05:09:00.000-08:002009-12-09T05:25:53.694-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhac5As8T7ANr6-_8zCh0xjjgOqFFQtHgilnFmws0G__YyaPybSlNGgIkHwUGucv-6myty9K3bVqUl1ufbiamPBy-eMlABv2nJFZAwtbzJAFfOXcX29zNq9OuP9IiXxGSP0WyiAkd8-xg/s1600-h/book+spheres+r%3D2.5cm+2002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhac5As8T7ANr6-_8zCh0xjjgOqFFQtHgilnFmws0G__YyaPybSlNGgIkHwUGucv-6myty9K3bVqUl1ufbiamPBy-eMlABv2nJFZAwtbzJAFfOXcX29zNq9OuP9IiXxGSP0WyiAkd8-xg/s320/book+spheres+r%3D2.5cm+2002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413223543589802866" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Book Spheres, r = 2,5cm, 2002<br />These paper spheres, one full and one hollow, are part of a body of work entitled WHOLES CUT OUT, produced in partial fulfillment of a M A in F A at the University of Stellenbosch. I developed a mathematical equation which describes a three dimensional sphere built on an "x", "y" and "z" axis in terms of a two dimensional object. I specifically chose objects which had numbers or text printed on them. This approach resulted in me cutting up everything from sheets of stamps, cigarette boxes, coasters, money and eventually my Masters Thesis and building two spheres from its pages. The thesis with the WHOLES CUT OUT was handed in in a custom made box.<br /></span>Lynette Besterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07643946630772815700noreply@blogger.com0
