Dear <strong>FynArts</strong> Supporters<br />
What a joy it is to welcome you back to Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> and the first full programme of events for<br />
some time. We have taken great pleasure in once again putting together a bumper programme and<br />
we hope attending the events will give you as much pleasure.<br />
This year we stand on the cusp of the next decade of Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> – the Festival, the Development<br />
Fund and the <strong>FynArts</strong> Gallery. It is a time to look forward and plan for the next ten years of growth and<br />
development, of presenting top-class festivals of relevance to the widest audience, of bringing the amazing artists from<br />
across all disciplines that South Africa is blessed to call ‘our own’. And – as we have learnt over the years – to embrace<br />
change in whatever expected and unexpected form it might take.<br />
A heartful thank you to our generous and loyal sponsors, patrons, lifetime and annual friends; artists and presenters;<br />
media, advisors, many volunteers and Overstrand Municipality – and of course, to you, our old and new festival-goers.<br />
<strong>FynArts</strong> and its projects continues from strength to strength due to the vital contribution made by you, our <strong>FynArts</strong><br />
family.<br />
This year the programme offers events especially for children and teenagers. These are clearly marked in the following<br />
pages, as well as a number of other suitable events at weekends offering reduced-price tickets for scholars.<br />
New events on the programme include a short early morning series of topical talks: Coffee and Croissants (pg24),<br />
a short programme of gallery events (pg 67), as well as a fun competition (pg 68). Through the Development Fund,<br />
we are embarking on a new collaboration with Warwick’s Chef School (pg 41).<br />
Presenting a ten-day arts festival is a team effort.<br />
Firstly, thank you to Chantel Louskitt. Her abiding loyalty, hard work, and acute sense of humour has carried many<br />
a day – and very often the festival too. Thank you also to Hedda Mittner who has come aboard and assisted us for the<br />
past six months. Since 2013, she has fully supported the festival in her capacity as content editor of The Village News.<br />
Hedda knows the nitty-gritty of the programme and how it is put together through writing copiously – and with<br />
passion – over the past thirteen years.<br />
As the festival programme continues to expand, so do the tasks of the many behind-the-scene supporters. We are<br />
grateful to the following people for their commitment, hard work and encouragement:<br />
Welcome to Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> <strong>2023</strong><br />

Fri 9 18:30 – 19:45<br />
Opening Concert<br />
With the <strong>FynArts</strong> Festival Orchestra and soloists Pieter Joubert<br />
(violin) and Ashlin Grobbelaar (cello) conducted by Richard Cock<br />
Sat 10 12:00 – 13:00<br />
Family Concert<br />
Richard Cock has been noted over the years for introducing young<br />
artists to the public, and this year will be no exception. Pieter and Ashlin,<br />
two very talented young artists from UCT, will take to the stage with the<br />
<strong>FynArts</strong> Festival Orchestra.<br />
They will play Tartini’s famous and fiendish Devil’s Trill Sonata for violin<br />
and orchestra, a cello concerto by CPE Bach, and a double concerto by<br />
Vivaldi. The orchestra will complement these works with the famous<br />
Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams, and an early symphony<br />
by Mozart.<br />
The opening concert is always a highlight on the programme and a<br />
wonderful way to celebrate not only the start of another <strong>FynArts</strong> Festival<br />
but also South Africa’s amazing young talent, just waiting to bloom.<br />
Sincere thanks to David and Sal Carter, Patrons of <strong>FynArts</strong> for<br />
generously supporting the Opening Concert.<br />
Richard Cock will introduce young and<br />
old to the orchestra in a relaxed and fun<br />
manner. Come and discover who plays<br />
what, how the various instruments make<br />
their sounds, and what they all sound like<br />
together.<br />
This is a wonderfully interactive event and<br />
involves movement, singing and dancing!<br />
Come and join in the fun.<br />
The programme includes music by Fucik,<br />
Mozart, Sousa, Lanchberry, Anderson and<br />
several South African composers.<br />

Sun 11 12:00 – 13:00<br />
Salt and Pepper Duo<br />
Samantha Durrant (violin)<br />
and Maja van Dyk (viola)<br />
Performances<br />
The Mzansi Tenors have been wowing audiences around<br />
the country and now return for the <strong>FynArts</strong> Festival with<br />
a programme curated for the sold-out season at Theatre<br />
on the Bay.<br />
The programme of famous tenor arias and South African<br />
favourites also includes great tenor hits made famous by<br />
Enrico Caruso, such as Santa Lucia, Granada, Ave Maria,<br />
and a tribute to Caruso by Lucio Dalla – a fitting inclusion<br />
in the year of the 150th anniversary of Enrico Caruso’s<br />
birth. Don’t miss this special concert hosted by Richard<br />
Cock.<br />
Sincere thanks to Anet and Ton Vosloo, Patrons of<br />
<strong>FynArts</strong>, for generously sponsoring this concert by<br />
the Mzansi Tenors, supported by RMB.<br />
From Passacaglia, Halvorsen’s ‘impossible duet’, to<br />
Piazzolla’s Libertango, the eclectic Salt & Pepper Duo<br />
is able to capture the beauty of famed arias and string<br />
works, by way of fascinating arrangements.<br />
Being versatile is one of the essential pillars on which<br />
Salt & Pepper Duo is built, thus performing a range of<br />
works from demanding repertoire for violin and viola<br />
(written specifically for this somewhat unusual pairing<br />
of instruments), to audience favourites.<br />
Maja and Samantha have been playing together for over<br />
fifteen years since first playing at youth orchestra courses<br />
from a young age. They are now both professional<br />
musicians based in Cape Town. The duo has performed<br />
at venues such as Erin Hall, the Baxter Concert Hall, and<br />
St George’s Cathedral.<br />

Sell-By-Date<br />
Pieter-Dirk Uys<br />
This vibrant intimate theatre production tells the oral<br />
history of the development of Hermanus. Energetic song,<br />
dance and compelling storytelling takes the audience<br />
on a historical journey of discovery, highlighting pioneers<br />
like Hermanus Pieters, Sir William Hoy and the mystical<br />
character of Bientang.<br />
Listen to tales of local fishermen, the everyday lives of<br />
women and landmark buildings such as The Marine<br />
Hotel and the Sanatorium – today the Windsor Hotel.<br />
Some liberties have been taken and a pinch of proudly<br />
South African spice added. This is a thoroughly localis-lekker<br />
production.<br />
With: Filicity Tobias, Esihle Badlati, Yonela Sentse,<br />
Remarce Marais and Faigon Kees.<br />
Writer-Director: Celeste Slabber-Loriston<br />
Pieter Dirk Uys, <strong>2023</strong> Legacy Award recipient, will be back<br />
at <strong>FynArts</strong> with a new show. As expected from his oneperson<br />
performances, this show features not only PDU,<br />
but also a cluster of topical characters, male, female and<br />
political. Having been active in live theatre since the late<br />
1960s, he is not surprised when people now ask: ‘When<br />
will you retire?’ His answer is short and sweet: ‘Not retire.<br />
Retread!’ This <strong>2023</strong> performance will also show Uys at his<br />
77-year-old best: laughing at fears and embracing facts<br />
with his tongue firmly in your cheek.<br />
A sell-by date on food usually means: throw way.<br />
A sell-buy date in PDU’s hands will reflect a new post-<br />
Covid energy that, while his audition might be over<br />
and the disease to please has been cured, proves that<br />
a PDU show is always a highlight to remember.<br />

South African. A multi-instrumentalist as well as<br />
a composer and vocalist, Mark plays the piano, guitar,<br />
saxophone, flute, bass clarinet and tunes percussion<br />

Fiona Ramsay and Graham Hopkins<br />
This hilariously entertaining theatre production has been hailed by critics<br />
as ‘the best play of the decade’, with brilliant performances by this<br />
celebrated theatre duo. Set in the UK in the ‘80s, it brings to light<br />
political, societal and philosophic values we are still grappling with today.<br />
A Tory politician returns home to the idyllic Cotswold house he shares<br />
with his left-leaning wife of 30 years. But all is not as blissful as it seems.<br />

Dr Imtiaz Sooliman<br />
Gift of the Givers<br />
Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of the Gift of the<br />
Givers Foundation, the largest disaster response<br />
non-governmental organisation on the African<br />
continent, will open this year’s Strauss & Co series<br />
of talks and presentations.<br />
Dr Sooliman qualified as a medical doctor at the<br />
then University of Natal Medical School in 1984.<br />
He soon gave up his career as a medical doctor<br />
to pursue the field of humanitarian aid, which for<br />
him transcends the boundaries of race, religion,<br />
culture, class and geography. In 1992 he founded<br />
Gift of the Givers as an impartial and apolitical<br />
foundation dedicated to servicing humanity with compassion, kindness and mercy.<br />
Driven by the ethos of brotherhood between all nations, and an unflinching and<br />

Sophia van Wyk<br />
The now well-established Sculpture on the Cliffs project<br />
of Hermanus <strong>FynArts</strong> has not only brought something<br />
culturally-different to the town over more than ten years,<br />
but has generated many conversations – and debates!<br />
Some of the artists who have contributed to this year’s<br />
exhibition will join Melvyn to talk about the theme and<br />
their interpretation, as well as how they see the role of<br />
their public sculpture in social well-being.<br />
Melvyn Minnaar will be in conversation with Wilma,<br />
Jacques, Conrad, Jaco and Sophia.<br />
Bina Genovese will open Sculpture on the Cliffs <strong>2023</strong><br />
directly after this discussion at Gearing’s Point.<br />

I’ve Seen That Face Before<br />
Kathryn Smith<br />
From early sketches made to apprehend suspects in<br />
criminal cases or identify the unknown deceased, art has<br />
had a significant, but frequently misunderstood, role<br />
to play in forensic identification, and technology has<br />
expanded the definition of the lab or studio in which<br />
such work is done.<br />
In this illustrated talk, artist,<br />
curator and forensic facial<br />
imaging expert Dr Kathryn<br />
Smith introduces the<br />
history of Forensic Art, and<br />
demonstrates the impact<br />
that facial reconstructions<br />
can have on forensic<br />
identification and archaeological research, from<br />
contributing to the investigative process, to restoring<br />
a sense of personhood to the unknown or unidentified.<br />

<strong>FynArts</strong> Legacy Award <strong>2023</strong><br />
Presented to Pieter-Dirk Uys<br />
Pieter-Dirk Uys, aka PDU, has been nominated by the Advisory Board as the <strong>2023</strong><br />
recipient of the <strong>FynArts</strong> Legacy Award In honour of his longstanding and<br />
distinctive contribution to the arts in South Africa and beyond.<br />
PDU, whose multi-faceted world includes performing, writing, directing, political<br />
commentary and social activism, has entertained audiences for more than half a<br />
century with his unique sense of humour and razor-sharp commentary on<br />
the South African zeitgeist.<br />
During the ‘70s several of his early plays premiered at the Space Theatre in<br />
Cape Town and at the height of the Apartheid era he started performing one-man<br />
revues. With the creation of his burlesque alter-ego, Evita Bezuidenhout (named<br />
after Eva Perón), PDU used satire and comedy to expose the absurdity of the<br />
South African government’s racial policies.<br />
Following South Africa’s first democratic elections, he starred in a TV series,<br />
Funigalore, in which, as ‘Tannie Evita’, he interviewed Nelson Mandela and other<br />
prominent politicians of the day. Uys/Evita are also known for their tireless work<br />
in the frontline of HIV/AIDS activism and education.<br />
In 1996 PDU settled in Darling where he converted the disused railway station into a cabaret venue called Evita se<br />
Perron (‘station platform’). The venue acquired new owners in 2020 but the legacy of PDU is being preserved and<br />
he regularly stages productions and performs himself.<br />
PDU has written several books and films, including a collection of three memoirs. Among the many national and<br />
international honours bestowed on him are Honorary Doctorates, the Living Legacy Award (San Diego, 2000),<br />
the Reconciliation Award (2001), TMSA Naledi Lifetime Achiever Award (2011), and the Hertzog Prize for drama (2018).<br />
Strauss & Co – Talks and Presentations<br />
Christopher Hope, Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, will present the Legacy Award to PDU and talk to him about<br />
his life.<br />

(2018), Sindiwe Magona (2019), Angelo Gobbato (2020/2021) and David Kramer (2022).<br />

Dear Me,<br />
Dear You<br />
Panel discussion<br />
Karina Szczurek, Nancy Richards<br />
(facilitator) and Dianne Stewart will<br />
discuss the value of Journals and<br />
Letters.<br />
The benefits of keeping a journal are<br />
legion – to process thoughts, harvest<br />
memories, record history and<br />
practise writing. If they were still<br />
alive, you would only have to ask<br />
Samuel Pepys, Anne Frank or<br />
Nelson Mandela, to name a few.<br />
But the art of writing letters, from<br />
one heart to another, has value<br />
on another level – for both writer<br />
and recipient. Should these lost<br />
communication skills be revived?<br />

Venice: Changemaker<br />

the Western and Oriental world?<br />
How did glorious Venice – its<br />
ingenuity, its ancient democracy,<br />
its widespread trading dominance,<br />
brilliance, and ethnically diverse<br />
population – change our Western<br />
world? And how did our Western<br />
world in turn change Venice?<br />

Return of the Moon<br />
Versions from the /Xam<br />
Christopher Hope<br />
Christopher will talk about, and<br />
read from, this set of extraordinary<br />
poems by Stephen Watson,<br />
whose celebrated recasting of<br />
these original San texts paints the<br />
long-gone speakers back into life.<br />
These narratives of the /Xam<br />
branch of San ‘Bushmen’ were<br />
originally recorded by Dr WH<br />
Bleek when, as prisoners, they<br />
were brought to live and work<br />
in his garden in Mowbray in the<br />
1870s.<br />
Transplanted from the Karoo,<br />
these vanished story-tellers’<br />
longing for their faraway home,<br />
gods and families pulse through<br />
these poems.<br />

The Soul of<br />
Jan Smuts<br />
James Gray<br />
100 years ago on 25 February 1923, Jan<br />
Smuts stood on Table Mountain and<br />
delivered one of his most famous orations.<br />
Today the ‘Religion of the Mountain’ speech<br />
– as it came to be known – is an important<br />
clue to the heart of this great South<br />
African statesman. Smuts has been dubbed<br />
everything from ‘irreligious’ to ‘devout<br />
believer’. He was not a church-goer in the<br />
conventional sense. Table Mountain fulfilled<br />
that need – it was his cathedral, his ‘Holy<br />
of Holies’.<br />
This <strong>FynArts</strong> talk seeks to uncover the ‘inner’<br />
Smuts. What lay behind – or within –<br />
the legendary Boer General, the maligned<br />
Prime Minister, the holistic thinker,<br />
the loving father who endured enormous<br />
personal sadness, not to speak of the<br />
rejection of his own volk?<br />
THURS 15 15:00 – 16:00<br />
Hermanus through<br />
the eyes of the artists<br />
Kayleen Wrigley<br />
Artists as early as Hugo Naudé<br />

This talk will explore how<br />
Hermanus has acted as a muse<br />
for many artists and will be richly<br />
illustrated with artworks depicting<br />
various scenes of the town.<br />

Mind through<br />
Materials<br />
Angus Taylor<br />
‘Throughout the past 25 years I have<br />
come to realise how important<br />
it is for me to deeply engage with<br />
materials and to create artworks<br />
that function as markers or ‘journal<br />
notes’ for me. They remind me of<br />
the many routes I have walked,<br />
physically and mentally, and<br />
the various decisions I have made<br />
throughout my life, both as an artist<br />
and in my personal life.’<br />
Angus is well known for his<br />
powerful, often large, works of<br />
sculpture, characterised by<br />
outstanding craftsmanship and<br />
the use of alternative and natural<br />
materials from his direct<br />
environment.<br />

Ernest Cole’s much-admired<br />
photobook, House of Bondage.<br />
Published in exile in 1967 and<br />
banned from distribution in South<br />
Africa the following year, Cole’s book<br />
of 183 photos was a talismanic<br />
document for artists and activists.<br />
Newly reissued in 2022, it is hailed as<br />
‘one of the most significant<br />
landmarks in South African<br />
photography’. This talk will look at<br />
the cultural context of apartheid<br />
censorship when House of Bondage<br />
first appeared, as well as its recovery<br />
and current acclaim.<br />

by Michiel Heyns as The Dao of<br />
Daniel.<br />
A 69-year-old Kalahari farmer and<br />
widower travels to China to meet<br />
his estranged son. But China<br />

– challenges everything Daniel van<br />
der Walt has ever believed in, stirring<br />
up long-buried emotions and secrets.<br />

Twang Eng about his latest novel<br />
about Somerset Maugham’s visit<br />
to British Malaya.<br />
The House of Doors is a ‘masterful<br />
novel of public morality and private<br />
truth a century ago. Based on real<br />
events, it is a drama of love and<br />
betrayal under the shadow of<br />
Empire.’<br />
Twan was born in Penang, Malaysia.<br />
His first novel, The Gift of Rain, was<br />
longlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize<br />
and his second novel, The Garden of<br />
Evening Mists, won the Walter Scott<br />
Prize for Historical Fiction and was<br />

Book Talks<br />
Nancy’s mother, Nancy Brooks<br />
was 16 when she joined her<br />
father on a cargo ship for<br />
a six-month sea voyage despite<br />
warnings from a gypsy fortune<br />
teller of a waiting peril.<br />
On the long six-month journey<br />
her mother kept a diary and<br />
logbooks as well as many letters.<br />
What happened on that<br />
voyage is told in The Skipper’s<br />
Daughter.<br />
Set in Hermanus, Socrates and the<br />
Lighthouse on the Square is a book<br />
of wisdom and hope that highlights<br />
the resilience of the human spirit.<br />
The fable, whimsically illustrated, is an<br />
anthropomorphic reflection of human<br />
emotions and characteristics onto a cast<br />
of animals, with the protagonist being<br />
a handsome seagull, Socrates.<br />
The book appeals to all ages and<br />
can be enjoyed as a work of fiction,<br />
philosophy, or one of inspiration.<br />
The Southern Writers group started in<br />
2000 and has produced four books so<br />
far, the latest being From the South<br />
(2022) from which members will read.<br />
In addition a couple of comic stories<br />
written recently will be added.<br />

The Boy who Hated Insects<br />
Dianne Stewart<br />
Joshua Finkelstein Bade doesn’t want<br />
to go on his school camp to the nature<br />
reserve. Allergic to mosquitoes, he<br />
squirms when he sees creepy crawlies<br />
and hates touching slimy slugs.<br />
With children’s increased use of<br />
technology screens, reading books<br />
seems to have dropped off. However,<br />
reading is an important way for<br />
children to develop their imagination,<br />
their flow of language and<br />
comprehension skills – as well as for entertainment.<br />

Youth Development Platform<br />
The sole beneficiary of the <strong>FynArts</strong> Festival (930070839 PBO) is the Development Fund (178 125 NPO). The purpose<br />
of the Fund, amongst others, is to initiate or support projects that promote the arts and the business of the arts in<br />
underserved communities in Greater Hermanus throughout the year. Activities include skills development and support,<br />
as well as networking and other related educational marketing opportunities<br />
Venue: New Harbour Multi-Purpose Centre<br />
The New Harbour Multi-Purpose Centre is housed in the newly renovated Lusitania building. The Centre is a space<br />
where educational and skills development projects and activities are offered. The department of Local Economic<br />
Development has given us permission to utilise this space to offer a limited number of workshops, as well as to present<br />
a small arts and crafts exhibition of work by local creatives.<br />
Projects such as making carrier bags out of dogfood bags will start in advance of the festival and a two-day workshop<br />
on collage art will take place during <strong>FynArts</strong>. Quality assurance and pricing training will be included in all workshops.<br />
During <strong>FynArts</strong> we will also offer one drumming workshop at the facility (p31)<br />
Visitors are encouraged to pop into the Centre on weekday afternoons to take a look at the exhibition as well as view<br />
the type of activities offered, such as chess for children.<br />

Thank you to the galleries of the First Fridays Art Walk (FFAW) and for the many supporters of the FFAW<br />
for your generous support through the Night of 1 000 Drawings.
The purpose of the <strong>FynArts</strong> Development Fund is to initiate, or identify and support projects which are in line with<br />
our Constitution and core disciplines. Among the objectives of these projects is to promote forms of self-expression<br />
and to support the development of skills that will lead to employment in some form – whether self-employed or<br />
through a third party.<br />
We are delighted to have entered into an informal collaboration with Warwick’s Chef School and Core Catering<br />
Supplies for the launch of this exciting initiative by the Chef School. Grade 12 learners at all schools in the Overberg<br />
will be invited to take part in this competition.<br />
‘The Warwick’s Chef School Aspiring Chef of the Year Competition, is a chance for high school learners in<br />
the Overberg to showcase their ‘Art on a Plate’. It is important to inspire our young local individuals to get excited<br />
about Hermanus as a Culinary Hub, and put their attention on the hospitality industry opportunities in our area.<br />
The main sponsor is Core Catering Supplies, and the winner of this competition will be cooking in the <strong>FynArts</strong><br />
demonstration kitchen – where passion for cooking is shared with others.’<br />
The winner of this first competition will showcase their skills in the Pop-up Kitchen at the United Church,<br />
appropriately on Youth Day, 16 June.<br />

the BBC cook: Butter, Booze and<br />
Cream. ‘Nothing wrong with these<br />
ingredients,’ she says. ‘In moderation’<br />
– as you will see during her<br />
demonstration.<br />
Her style of cooking is to eat first<br />
by sight, then by taste. Presentation<br />
and plate appeal are paramount.<br />
Aroma and taste follow to satisfy<br />

Convenor<br />
The Art of Wine<br />
JP Rossouw – Convenor<br />
The art of wine starts with the interaction of farming and culture – it’s in the very name: viticulture.<br />
This is the ancient practice of working with the vine and learning how best to capture the gifts<br />
of its grapes.<br />
Then the art of wine is elaborated and expressed through the craft of winemaking, another<br />
celebrated human pursuit that goes back thousands of years but is still alive with expression<br />
and development. Join us as we explore the art of wine in three tastings – the ‘Art of the Vine’,<br />
the ‘Art of the Blend’ and ‘Wine and the Senses’.<br />
Each session will be a pleasurable surprise and take you home really thinking about wine.<br />

Walking back to happiness<br />
Curated by Melvyn Minnaar<br />
The theme was prompted by a 1960s hit by the songwriters John Schroeder and Mike Hawker and made famous<br />
by Helen Shapiro. The elegant title suggests a return to a state of betterness.<br />
Invited artists were asked to engage with the concept of cheer – something we seem to have sacrificed in the<br />
tribulations of recent years. Art can lift the spirit, inspire.<br />
Not as escapism, but in three-dimensional works that signal something about living meaningfully – art that inspires<br />
hope and goodness in the environment of this beautiful coastal setting.<br />
Like the song, the sculptures take on nostalgia, optimism and a physical dynamic for engagement in a special<br />
environment.<br />
Let’s say this is art as a playground for adults. Current worldwide turmoil needs an antidote. Let’s hum along. Take a walk.<br />

‘Sculptor’ sits comfortably with<br />
this artist who works with dexterity<br />
in various media. His work is<br />
particularly known for its instant<br />
affinity with viewers. This year’s<br />
theme fits perfectly. He is<br />
a previous participant. (b.1958.<br />
Swavelpoort-based)<br />
Conrad Hicks<br />
A blacksmith who wears the title<br />
with finely-tuned artistic comfort.<br />
Metal is his metier – its basic link<br />
to the human spirit is his<br />
exploration and endorsement.<br />
He is a first-time participant.<br />
(b.1966. Cape Town-based)
Jaco Sieberhagen<br />
His art and style are individually<br />
standouts for precision and<br />
astuteness, often engaging viewers<br />
with passionate wit. He has taken<br />
part in numerous earlier iterations.<br />
(b.1961. Hermanus-based)<br />
Frank van Reenen<br />
In his familiar, comic-inspired and<br />
popular sculptures the dichotomies<br />
of childhood play amusingly with<br />
the paradoxes of the adult world<br />
here and now. He is a previous<br />
participant. (b.1969. Cape Townbased)<br />
Sculpture on the Cliffs<br />
2014 – <strong>2023</strong><br />
Exhibitions – Sculpture on the Cliffs<br />
Sophia Van Wyk<br />
Her sculptural work and its<br />
expressive precision can be traced<br />
to the artist’s interest and training<br />
which included furniture-making.<br />
She brings a unique view to the<br />
concept of public art. She is<br />
a previous participant.<br />
(b.1981. Cape Town-based.)<br />
Ashley Walters<br />
Winner of the celebrated<br />
Michaelis Prize, among other<br />
accolades, and a lecturer in new<br />
media at Stellenbosch University.<br />
His sculptural work holds up<br />
an enigmatic elegance. He is<br />
a first-time participant.<br />

Artist’s Statement<br />
Shaking the Dust<br />
Paula Louw<br />
Inviting the viewer to pause and focus on small details, I unravel<br />
and unpack old, obsolete machines, including outdated cameras<br />
and typewriters. This contrasts with how we look at things today as<br />
we race through life and our communications at full speed.<br />
In days gone by there was reverence and respect in our manner<br />
of letter writing. Time was invested in communicating, and<br />
the letter posted using stamp and envelope, unlike today where<br />
misspellings and misunderstandings often result from hastily<br />
written and ill-considered WhatsApp messages and emails.<br />
<strong>FynArts</strong> – Festival Artist<br />
I choose to hark back to a time when life was quieter, simpler<br />
and less complex. The use of monochrome in my work therefore<br />
attempts to slow down the instant gratification received from<br />
cellphone cameras and the real-life images they take, their instant<br />
messaging and video calls.<br />
A more recent gift of a box of glass negatives dating back to 1929<br />
offered new possibilities, as their age conferred on them a sense<br />
of time and history. I experimented with a technique of negative<br />
photographic referencing, which led me into a new creative<br />
direction of drawing into and over negative photographic images.<br />
My work encompasses this technique, as well as paint and pastel,<br />
collage, charcoal and found objects.<br />
For this exhibition I have focussed on both the minutiae of tiny,<br />
fascinating details as well as the grand sweep of a mountain<br />
or shoreline.<br />

Art in the Auditorium<br />
Venue: Municipal Auditorium<br />
Close to fifty artists have taken part in the Sculpture on the Cliffs exhibition. Each year between ten and twelve artists<br />
have exhibited a sculpture on the cliffs, on loan for a full year.<br />
The support, commitment, talent and generosity of these highly-respected artists has resulted in an exhibtion that has<br />
become the flagship of <strong>FynArts</strong>.<br />
Sculpture on the Cliffs has given rise to Art in the Auditorium to give visitors the opportunity to see more of the artists’<br />
work.<br />
Each year all artists who have exhibited on the cliffs in any of the previous years, or will take part in the current year’s<br />
exhibtion, are invited to take part in this show of smaller works.<br />

Exhibitions – Fibre Art<br />
Fibre Art Exhibition <strong>2023</strong><br />
This exhibition, curated for the past ten years by Dal Botha, has become one of the major group exhibitions of<br />
the festival. However, over the years the exhibition has been installed in a number of venues, starting out in<br />
the Old Synagogue (now the Overstrand Learning Hub) then moving to the Fernkloof Hall, the Municipal Auditorium<br />
and then last year, to The Marine Hotel.<br />
None of these venues has done justice to the artists nor their artworks. What is needed for artworks of this size and<br />
intricacy is a gallery space in which to install a ‘proper’ exhibition. After much consideration, and with some regret,<br />
it has been decided that the only solution is for the <strong>FynArts</strong> fibre art exhibition to become an annual, stand-alone event<br />
presented in the <strong>FynArts</strong> Gallery.<br />
During the exhibition period a number of related talks, walk-throughs, demonstrations and workshops will take place.<br />
Save the dates below and return to Hermanus to take part in this new event on the <strong>FynArts</strong> calendar.<br />
Sat 4 Oct – SUN 12 Nov<br />
Abundance<br />
The innate tendency of nature and of life to manifest,<br />
grow and become more – Remez Sasson<br />
Tapping into the energy of abundance allows artists to create with more joy,<br />
exuberance and unlimited possibilities. Stretching beyond anticipation,<br />
the artworks comprise a multitude of styles, media and textures.<br />
This theme also represents the many blessings that are present in our daily<br />
lives and encouragement to focus our attention on thankfulness.<br />
