Special guest is Sean Daniel, member of Magpie ART COLLECTIVE, visiting from South Africa,
in dialogue with Babette Woltemath (artist, designer, collector and founder of WarenArt Gallery).
They will discuss Magpie’s up-cycled art practice in the context
of South African art and design.
Magpie Art Collective was established in 1998 by designer Scott B. Hart and social-entrepreneur Ashoka Fellow. Shane A. Petzer, fine artist Sean Daniel, and administrator Richard Panaino joined in 2006 as magpie expanded and the collective relocated from Cape Town to the Barrydale Studio where they are now based. In addition to the studio creations, Magpie undertake commissions and installations as well as participate in exhibitions. Magpie also produces a range of exciting craft-project-linked products with M-Art-Projects. They link themselves with M-Art-Projects to the surrounding community by engagement with local community – income generation projects, crafters and civil society endeavours.
The Magpie Art Collective believe the work they do links art and design with meaningful commercial and social entrepreneurism. Their creations are environmentally conscious, produced from a broad range of media and often utilizing found or recycled elements.
Made from recycled plastic and water bottles and repurposed plastic packaging, the works selected for this exhibition exemplify Magpie’s aesthetic of using found objects and detritus to create things of beauty out of what we would normally consider trash. The works in this exhibition are shown courtesy of Waren Art.
Double Agents brings together accomplished players on the international art stage to address a diversity of professional strategies and mechanisms for success in today’s competitive art word. The traditional dynamic between artist and gallery is changing as rapidly as new communications platforms, societal norms, and economic incentives arise. We all have to wear multiple hats in order to keep up with the explosion of knowledge and opportunity across multiple fields – to play more than one role in the perpetually shifting dynamics of today’s art world.
Be it artist, curator, collector, art dealer, publisher, professor, institutional, corporate, non-profit, governmental, or private interest – the lines between roles need to blur to enable diverse and experimental approaches to artistic production and consumption. Double Agents is an ongoing series of discussions each bringing together exceptional people who work across many fields at once in order to tell their stories and share ideas. The first Double Agents discussion takes place in the context of “bonum et malum”, the inaugural exhibition of Gallery KLEINERVONWIESE at the Villa Erxleben.
