Beschreibung:
Joni Brenner is a principal tutor in history of art at the Wits School of Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg and is a practicing visual artist. Elizabeth Burroughs is a senior manager at Umalusi. Karel Nel is an artist and an associate professor of fine arts at the Wits School of Arts.
Brings into sharp relief, and interrogates, the abutting practices of art and science, which have co-existed since the beginning of our species. It is based on an exhibition at the Origins Centre at the University of the Witwatersrand. This exhibition displayed the original fossil skull of the Taung child hominid alongside artworks by Joni Brenner, Gerhard Marx, and Karel Nel, that were made specifically in response to these evolutionarily significant remains.
