HUMANEARTH EXHIBITIONS: REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE



HumanEarth is a series of exhibitions centered on the theme of human interaction with nature, to raise awareness for the ways in which we harm the planet and also the ways that we are living in harmony with it.



After several years of commitment to the evolution of environmental understanding, a reshaping and shifting of administrative responsibilities is under way. As you probably know by now, Ecojunki no longer functions within its original context. The HumanEarth Exhibitions now function as an entity, in association with Copart.



The main focus of the HumanEarth exhibitions is to create awareness and to encourage change.



We would appreciate aid finding the following:


1. One marketing assistant

2. One administrative assistant



At this stage, these positions are offered on an unpaid internship basis with the promise of future compensation.

HumanEarth.2:Re(-)Presentations



The second installment of the HumanEarth exhibition series, curated by Cape Town based artist Nastasha Daniels, will be hosted by the North West University Botanical Gardens Gallery in Potchefstroom.

The artists for HumanEarth.2:Re(-)Presentations are:
Abri de Swardt
Janet Ranson
Russel Goodman
Hannalie Taute
SCAPES project artists: Janet Botes, Di Smith, Andrée Bonthuys, Leli Hoch

HumanEarth aims to shed some understanding on the relationship between human and nature, while encouraging dialogue and reflection on this complex relationship. The NWU botanical garden is among the 12 largest gardens of its kind in the country, and the gallery hosts art exhibitions throughout the year.

The Scapes Project, which is also included and shown as part of the exhibition, is another ongoing art project that focuses on human involvement with nature-dialogue. Contemporary art practises such as installation- and performance art are included as part of this project. The work shown at the exhibition will be Land Art prints. Land Art is a practice where the artist don't use the natural landscape only as reference and inspiration, but works physically with and within the landscape, using primarily natural found materials. The artworks are often ephemeral and transient, destroyed or decayed by natural processes like the wind and rain, and are therefore captured photographically to capture the moment.


The exhibition opens on 6 April at 5:30pm, at the NWU Botanical Gardens Gallery
Viewing: Mon – Fri, 10:00-16:00
Exhibition ends 2 May

Perform or come and watch

As part of the first HumanEarth exhibition showing at Wessel Snyman Creative at the moment, we're going to do a performance art event on Thursday evening from 6pm. We're still planning and arranging some of the 'acts', and anyone can take part.

As you might know already, the theme is around human interaction with nature - the ways that we either harm or help the natural environment - and the exhibition as well as event is aimed at promoting and initiating conversation and dialogue around this.

If you're interested in participating - either behind the scenes or as a performance artist, contact nastasha797@gmail.com or ecojunki@gmail.com

Viva for making things happen!!
