Wildetecture

Manifesto of a Wildetect – African style. When next you find yourself in a large metropolis, observe that most structures and buildings engulfing you are possibly ornate, beautiful, and monolithic. However most of these buildings lack a certain dynamic energy. It is similar when comparing most art with a Van Gogh painting or a Caravaggio, the difference in dynamic energy is staggeringly obvious. Or when you compare a ‘made in china’ instruction manual to thought provoking poetry; you have words to simply convey instruction and words to start the blood pumping – to incite a revolution of thought. The same is true when comparing most sculpture with Dylan Lewis’s or Surprise Shako Mkhize’s Work. These artists have bridged the gap between dynamic sculpture and static technically correct objects. There is art to fill a crochet minute, and art to fill generations of poets, designers and artists with enthusiasm and dreams of the impossible.
