Inhaltsangabe

Evoking landscapes and the human body as sites of memory, van den Berg inserts queer perspectives into the larger rewriting of South African history

Zambia-born, South Africa–based artist Clive van den Berg (born 1956) produces a range of multimedia works unified by five themes: memory, light, landscape, desire and the body. Embodied in his lush paintings, mixed-media sculptures, delicate prints, films and public projects, these themes are bound up with the history of his native South Africa and its ongoing ramifications. For van den Berg, both the body and the landscape are sites that carry memories and scars, evoking desires which he aims to reveal in his work, often through the illuminating power of light. He has marked sites affected by Apartheid with human figures formed out of fire, and often depicts the body itself as a landscape, bearing the marks of AIDS. This catalog, accompanying an intercontinental touring exhibition from Johannesburg to London to Washington, DC, introduces van den Berg’s political yet poignant work to the world.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The long and prolific career of Clive van den Berg, artist, curator, designer, writer and activist.

Clive van den Berg (b. 1956, Zambia) - artist, curator, designer, writer and activist - has been working across mediums throughout the course of his prolific career, producing a range of works unified by his enduring focus on five interrelated themes: memory, light, landscape, desire, and the body. Embodied in his lush paintings, mixed-media sculptures, delicate prints, films, and public projects, these themes are bound up with the history of his native South Africa and its ongoing ramifications. He has marked sites affected by Apartheid with human figures formed out of fire, and often depicts the body itself as a landscape, bearing the marks of AIDS. For van den Berg, both the body and the landscape are sites that carry memories and scars and that evoke desires, which he aims to reveal in his work, often through the illuminating power of light. As a visual artist he is interested in both formal beauty and conceptual depth. His extensive body of work ranges in size and format, and includes paintings, prints, multi-media sculpture, landscape installation, and videography.
