Dineo seshee bopape was born in 1981 on a Sunday.
If she were ghanain, her name would be akosua/akos for short.

During the same year of her birth, the brixton riots took place ;Two people were injured when a bomb exploded in a Durban shopping centre; bobby sands dies; mtv is launched, the boeing 767 makes its first air flight, umkonto we sizwe performs numerous underground assault opperations against the apartheid state.
There was an earthquake in china that killed maybe 50people. hosni Mubarak elected president of Egypt. there is a coup d’etat in Ghana. Princess Diana of Britain married charles. bob Marley dies. Apartheid sa invaded Angola. AIDS is identified/created/named. Salman rushdie releases midnight’s children. In the region of her birth: Her paternal grandmother died. Julius malema is born. Millions of people cried. Millions of people laughed! The world’s population was apparently at around 4.529 billion.
bopape spent her youth in Limpopo in varying social situations. at 12 years of age: she began to follow a hunger for an elsewhere beginning with Durban-where she spent some years and studied painting +sculpture. She is a 2007 graduate of De Ateliers in Amsterdam and in May 2010 completed an MFA at Columbia University, New York. She was the winner of the 2008 MTN New Contemporaries Award, a 2010 Columbia University Toby Fund Award recepient. And She has shown her work in major +minor national and international exhibitions….
Other concurrent events of the year of her birth: and of her lifetime are perhaps too many to fully know.

oh i have been feeling rather wierd about looking at the work posted as 'so sweet oh so sweet' and have been trying to figure out exactly why that was...it just looks so heavy compared to the other work, there is something mournful about it,
i wonder if it is the colours: the peachy colour and the brown, could it have been the way i photographed it?
i'm still waiting for the museum to send their pics of it...it is always best to include a budget for a professional photographer when drawing out the budget of a show or a work.
i still do not know the title for this yet... the black and white picture reminds me of apartheid, haha that is funny somewhat.
a waiting room of sorts... a set
a wall in construction
of what space i dunno...
something reminds me of spain, then the carribean.
this work is somewhat of a failure.
here and there...

but it is a time piece- like a video, except the frames are a little scattered and slow...

from oct2010 artist statement

2011-01-11T06:13:00.000-08:00

I work in various mediums from video, to installation, to sculpture and performative situations...
My work engages the poetics of the performative (cultural) object. I indulge in the poetic elasticity & materiality of things (objects, space, event, memory, time...).

The object-based installations exist in a site ephemerally,
performing as temporal situations. (Perhaps sites inwhich a proposed event is to happen/or not)
together with the videos, they collectively produce a site for a (semi contained) disrupted narrative, an orchestreal discord of small stories performing as poems or fragments of a language, sites of memory that are continuously dismantled.

these sites recall other things/events/ stories/situations relating to their function and place within the everyday or in language....(as with the birds&flowers in …microwave cosmic… video [included in the package]: in English slang, women are sometimes referred to as birds or flowers and as ‘sweet’).

Yet central to the character of the proposed narrative/sites is a thing that cannot really be accounted for. Perhaps a time lapse…

…A feeling resulting from some type of affectation, the application of some ‘special’ effect(s)-(decorative icing), perfume, something in excess (which could also be a lack)...as with the spatial relations between objects or that between image and sound within particular video frames.

One of my primary concerns is how to tell a story, how to de/re/construct a story...how to tell an old story anew. How to forget, and how to remember. There is ‘nothing’ really…a vacuum that one has to account for. It is a situation over saturated with ‘it’. A memory erased, or in the process of being erased or reshuffled…as in/post a traumatic situation: When ‘sense’ is somewhat distorted and there emerges some holes (spaces of ‘nothing’, [and things that mean nothing: that fail to occupy a space with in the visible/sensible.).

I am interested in video time and in some sort of a decay of a linearity-

There is something about mediation and artifice, things acting as things/things acting as props around which multiple stories dance/and are entangled. There is also something about ‘things’ becoming motifs or masks of themselves- like flower prints on a piece of fabric/lace… a certain type of virtual life/space…that I am fond of exploring further,

Something about video space, which I have ‘begun’ to explore in my last show “long live the immaterial…effect no.55” (in reference to Yves Klein) the blue has become something I have been interested in, - the blue of the sky, the blue of the bluescreen-a space in which anything can be projected, the blue of church uniforms….bluescreening/green screening, masking, saturating…editing.

I have also been thinking of ideas of the ideal, the politics of aesthetics: afro diasporic aesthetics: those of various classes: within Africa or globally, a politic of taste (?), the use of stock images of our global culture(s)- i.e. Sunsets, nature’s beauty, love, the family, the hero, the history, the icon, the self, the collective cultural archive, motifs, pattern(s), mediation and representation. I am interested I pursuing these thoughts further through my work. But my primary concern I’d say is the question of representation.

mugs are printed with the image of the big flower that is on the wall(on the left)

the blue thing next to the tinsel is a photograph of the sky, but in this photograph, it is not so clear-it just reflects the sky

there is a tissue box that has an image of blue skies+white clouds printed on it, the flowers are not artificial(?)...that fabric is so haitian...haitian vodoo goddess

the skirting is made of some type of white satin fabric which has been gathered at the top...on the green platform are birds(bought from the store)(artificial birds:made of some type of clay/ceramic+plastic)...there are also tissue boxes that have blue skies printed on them...

the tv screen is blue.

there are 2 glasses of blue liquid on the platform

at the back are pics of flowers with magazine cutouts of skies pasted next to each image...

"the eclipse will not be visible to the naked eye"
(installation at michael stevenson gallery july2010.)

images courtesy of the artist(dineo seshee bopape) and the michael stevenson gallery.

the installation comprised of individual pieces brought together to 'dance.' title taken from one of the videos included in the show
the images are mainly digital drawings printed on photographic paper, mounted on alluminium(diasec+diabond), some are just printed on photo paper, some just on regular printing paper
some of the images are repeated throughout the space
there were 3 video pieces within this installation
a couple of \sculptures some of which include the images

at some point i will go in and name some key points, put titles under the images etc.

media offline>>video...shown on a flat large monitor on a 2-legged stand....

the video is made of what is left over -when media has been taken off an editing platform(like final cut)-what appears is the sign "media offline" which signals that there is

media/video information missing: ie. no content, (no subject?)...all that is left are the effects...

(a "description without place")...the soundtrack comprises of various modified/sampled sounds spliced+layered

the light was just like this (video) >(in this instance i showed on a box wrapped in white bath towels)(other times i have shown it on a wooden tripod like stand)|(this video was the first thing i knew i

wanted in the space...and then the other works came together after further conversations with caner and ovul, i guess the deciding factor was the conversations that could ensue between my work and caner's.

intermission>> video/projection> exit: the video is of light followed by a camera on a reflective

metal plate...the video is then projected on a flat monitor that is turned off(not emitting light)

the very obscure image of light off a shinny metal plate is seen on the tv and the wall, some sort of fibrous landscape is created at the back of the monitor against the wall...

feedback 1-2-3

and 3 screens are 'revealed'...the projector sits on top of a white box on a floral mat...between the tv and the monitor is a small white bath towel

behind the tv is a thin plate of glass which somehow helps reflect light back into the room

recess > there is a disco curtain with minimum light shinning on it ....a round table covered in lace, light glows from underneath the lace ...

it looks somewhat like a shy table in the last image doesn't it?

**caner's work is the wall text(a missing person's report), a slide show of an archeological dig and the gray+white vitrine like table with polaroids o weather measuring devices and graves(1 occuppied, the other, reserved, waiting for the parter to die and occupy it)

accounting for the (w)hole

2010-01-28T10:23:00.000-08:00

what to call this one?huh?

ingredients:

**flat tron tv monitor playing a video- (ovs la song bird: which features ovul singing turkish love songs in her very beautiful voice trained in the turkish classical way of singing....)

**the monitor sits on top of an oldfashioned dolly, which is used to create smooth camera movements...

the video is see through a (w)hole in the purple board/sign post looking thing...

*board is made of ply wood covered in a purple reflective surface plastic sticker

+ there is a print out of an image of a home style outdoor cinema, taken from google, pinned onto the board...

+there is also an artificial/plastic bunch of grapes dangling infront of the board-via pink ropes

the place of the object

2009-12-06T10:22:00.000-08:00

title: the place of the object

millard, paper, lights, mirrors, wood, a tv playing static/white noise, foam puddle, green paper, green tape...tin foil...cardboard tube...print out of another object....fabric...paint....etc...

so i had this in my studio during columbia open studios 2 weeks ago...
and the first image is the object in one situation
the 2nd is the object in another situation
a different event that the object was a part of.../hosting?

and really?
what is the purpose of this object?
alot of people have been saying that it kind of looks like a barricade...
i guess it does somehow stop one's movement...
it was inspired by a weak barricade...
what kind of barricade could it be?
what is the use of such a thing?and how does it work?
the thing maybe happens on it-but how?and what does it give?
here it is at moment 1 and at moment 2.
2 representations of this object
2 truth situations for it....
2 accounts of the situation
2 ways of memorialising this ephemeral event
this thing that is soon to break down, break apart...

this drawing is something that purports to be a sculpture, a 3d object, but it its linearity, it remains flat somehow....flat...because it reads 2dimensionally...or maybe there is an extra dimension in its reading...from the reflected surfaces...and the tv static-that counts as another dimenssion of space right?....it is a thing to be encountered...
not in a very exciting way...
the excitement i have for it is in its emptiness...
this poor object is about to die, it is somehow holding on...(really?)
yes, with all these mirrors mirroring the object and parts of the surrounding space...mirroring for what?for whom?...i keep imagining the object by itself...but it is impossible.how can it be alone?it is a theatre, an event ...a staged event!THERE HAS TO BE A WITNESS!!!and there maybe has to be an audience too....

there is potential for glamour in it...but it has abandonned that role...for a paler collapse.
i wish i could take it outside..and leave it there, to be torn by the wind, and the rain and some sun...but it would not easily disintergrate none of the parts except for the wood is bio degradeable...oh i doubt the wood is bio-d...it is painted white...
and i have the perfect place/setting for it..the rural landscape of gamatlala in polokwane, south africa
i keep thinking alot about the shembe people's aesthetics....the white painted rocks used in both urban and rural areas...but most esspecially in the urban areas, to temporarily demarcate a space that would function as a spiritual zone..a temporary church... an ephemeral space, bubble...arena-within which that spiritual event/activity is to take place...
i guess it is like constructing a tent.

the photo images in the piece are of a different sculpture/drawing...
a skin of plastic...hanging off a thin wooden rod like an skinned animal about to be paraded and roasted whole...like something from a francis bacon painting or a moshekwa langa installation (the one with the cement bags) anyways, its name is "skin" ... it could no longer hold its own in the space...i did not have enough confidence to let it stand alone...so the image of it survives rather than the actual thing...it is what the present drawing stands for ...this other object

20:49 it is scripted

Gabi: ooooooooooooooook
art imitates life

me: es
yes
translated from virtual life
20:50 "i" am a man

Gabi: ja, tell mo
me: the person performing as me is a man
which is interesting
and X is being performed by a white woman
20:51 Gabi: hayi bo!

me: they will be 'invisible'
performing 'normal'
staging a fight
Gabi: a fight that happened?

20:52 me: yes
but also inbetween,
repeating a conversation that they had
when they met each other
the real actors
as themselves
so they will be re-performing themselves
again and again
20:53 amnesiacly

Gabi: you making a film or performance?

me: performance and film
i recorded the first reading
of the script
so that will be played
on sunday at the opening
20:54 whilst they are 'invisibly' performing

Gabi: how do you see the work? film or performance or both?
me: performance

Gabi: ok
20:55 me: i am excited...!

"it's a celebration bitches"-conversation : dineo bopape & simmi dullay via gchat

2008-07-25T05:24:00.000-07:00

simmi: ya got that
ok

me: and they will be doing this performance without announcing it
and will seek a witness
21:56 at the openning to perform it for

simmi: from audience?

me: yes
so they will appear like part of the people coming to see the work/shw
21:57 but they will be performing this email conv/fight

simmi: ok...so its a juxtaposition of reality versus the staged versus the virtual

me: and then they will be meeting each other over and over again
yes

simmi: aha!
exciting

me: so the performance of a real relationshin
21:58
and the performative things that happen in relationships

me: and them also having to perform themselves
staging their meeting
staging the first conversation that happened between them

21:59 simmi: ok...how was their meeting?

me: when they first met today in my apt
nothing special

simmi: oh

me: just both excited about meeting another actor so curious about things they had done b4

simmi: ok
22:00 me: asking each other questing that would reveal more about themselves to each other

simmi: but the audience will be kept in the dark

me: yes
simmi: as the performance will be intergrated in the moment

me: but they will keep on seing the coupl e being in the same fight over and over again
so that may be a clue
22:01 simmi: yes...i thought of that
r u part of performing?

me: and there is a monitor which will play outside
of their first reading of the script
yes and no
i will not be iterracting w them

simmi: cool
22:02 its a deconstruction of a performance
me: yes
:)
that sounds col
cool
22:03 i think the actual work happened at the time of the rehearsal of the performance

simmi: though ambivilant or works within the possibility of duality contained in every source/concept

me: the taping of the first reading
22:04 the duality between:real and virtual/past/present/

22:05 simmi: no i mean that although its a deconstruction of perfomance
the performance branches out into the audience and continues to reinvent it self

me: yes
22:06 it reinvens itself
i guess for the audience
but for the performers,
it is

simmi: also the repetition or mirroring and its existance being played out on various stages of communication
me: something else but i dunno what
yes

simmi: simultaniously
22:07 me: the mirror-ing

simmi: very bloody complex and deep
me: yes yes yes
i am having a cosmic orgasm now
simmi: u sooo lovely and crazy
22:08 well i should have written ur review
it could be quite funny to write the review with out seing it
22:09
me: oh please do
on phoe
phone

simmi: within context to how energy reverbrates
22:12 or how things exist within consciousness
19 minutes

22:31 me: hey sorry simms
22:32 i'm back on
hey i would love for you to do a review on it!
and i think it would be interesting because you would not have been at the performance
22:33 how would that work
it would be interesting to do a video podcast of it

it's a celebration byitchessszzzz
