dogma by Anton Brink

Category: CueTV Arts Festival 2006, Exhibitions

dogma1.jpgGrahamstown-based Anton Brink’s exhibition is titled dogma and is inspired by international events of the past five years, from 9/11 to the atrocities in Afghanistan and Iraq. Visitors to the exhibition should not consider Brink’s work as criticism of the USA. Rather, it relates to patriarchal culture in general. The artist is intriguing and interesting – just like his artwork.

    I really enjoyed this piece. It depicts the art and the messaging accurately and used the artists own explanation’s as a platform on which to build the story. Political and personal - good.

    A strong message comes through -

    And she cried, ‘Zuma raped me!’
    But Anton said, ‘It wasn’t Jacob, it was the Great Patriarch.’
