from the DM’s website:

Design Museum has joined forces with Beefeater 24 to celebrate the fearlessly progressive spirit of London’s greatest creative minds, past and present. London thinks, designs and makes like no other city; it creates and the world follows. A magnet for mavericks and freethinkers, London has nurtured a creative community that continues to rival all other design capitals.

These creative networks have spurred each other on. This exhibition will illustrate London’s pursuit of new, better and braver, across architecture, industrial design, graphics, fashion and communications alike. Endlessly pushing at the forefront of design and constantly inventing for new worlds, London’s design output is continually Super Contemporary.

Title: Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa
Location: Rokeby, 37 Store Street
Description: Butcher’s is proud to present the first solo show of Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa with her installation ‘A Brush for Robben Island’ (2008). Taking place at Rokeby by special invitation, Butcher’s presentation is part of Syndicate, a programme of multimedia events featuring a range of artists, curators and architects.
Start Time: 18:30
Date: 2008-12-10

Between 1961 and 1991, over 3,000 men were imprisoned on Robben Island for their opposition to South Africa’s apartheid government. Although subject to a harsh and physically repressive regime, the inmates of this prison nevertheless developed ingenious strategies to convene and to communicate.

Emma Wolukau-Wanambwa’s installation A Brush for Robben Island re-imagines these prisoners’ covert social space, taking as its starting point three seemingly unstable referents: a gesture that was used to mark this site, the sound that gesture produced, and the language that was used to describe it. The gesture in question is the prisoners’ version of applause, which they made by rubbing their hands together - an action that was termed ‘giving a brush’. Sonically alluding to this site and act of resistance, A Brush for Robben Island invites us to consider our relationship with a history that is fragmenting and fading from view.

A ‘brush’ connotes that most traditional tool of fine art practice, and strategies of representation are also questioned by this installation. ‘A Brush for Robben Island’ explores the potential of a politicised aesthetic, rejecting any assertion of an opposition between formal aspects of an artwork and its political content.
