Local Art • 1967 • II
Walter Battiss visits Daniel Spoerri in Switzerland. Mounts multimedia Yes-No installation in Pretoria. Works are wrapped in cellophane and viewers are given torches to navigate the space and unwrap works if they choose.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
