    Alive… or not? An exhibition

    On Friday night, a Rhodes fine art Masters student will challenge your way of thinking about 'lifeless' everyday objects and how they can actually be a living home for meaning.

    On Friday night, a Rhodes fine art Masters student will challenge your way of thinking about 'lifeless' everyday objects and how they can actually be a living home for meaning.

    Kelebogile Marope's final Masters practical submission exhibition will be open to the public on Friday 22 November only.

    Titled 'Inanimate/animate', the sculptural installation explores the relationship between seemingly banal objects like folded sheets or rolls of toilet paper, and the personal memories and lived experiences that imbed these with meaning. 

    The repetitive process of production and refinement that Marope has used to make each single sculpture mirrors the thematic concerns of her work. 

    The repetition of spotless white objects carefully placed and presented in the space allude to the constructions and signifiers of home and family as well as obsessive behaviour and routine, where domestic ideals pertaining to cleanliness and order become prominent themes in a personal context such as the home. 

    Marope’s exhibition erodes the binarised distinctions of animate and inanimate, exploring the ways in which ordinary household objects are bound to, and thus potentially animated by, one's histories, experiences and ideals. 

    With an opening Speech by Maureen De Jager, the exhibition at the Guy Butler Theatre in the 1820 Settlers' Monument will open from 6.30pm to 9pm.
