GNAP 2016 takes on the format of a tour from the Cradle of Humankind to the foot of Table Mountain tracing the legacy of the first nomadic people but also with the opportunity of creating temporary land art in response to the varied landscape and the World Heritage rock art of South Africa.
Nine renowned land artists from Germany, Hungary, India, Iran, South Korea and Sweden will join local artists such as Hannelie Coetzee, Sybrand Wiegers, Izanne Wiid, Kai Lossgott, Grietjie Lee, Janet Ranson, Cha Davenport, Katie Barnard du Toit and Emma Willemse in this project.
The visiting artists – Ko Seunghyun, Kim Soonim and Lee Jasmine (South Korea), Mahmoud Maktabi (Iran), Atul Bhalla (India), Ulrika Sparre and Marie Gayatri (Sweden), Eröss Istvàn (Hungary) and Imke Rust (Germany) – will travel along different routes in small groups, meeting and staying with local participating artists and supporters along the way. The tours will commence on 8 September and culminate in an exhibition opening at the Chavonnes Battery Museum at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town, on Thursday 6 October.
