SUMMARY:FACE VALUE Exhibition-Dan Pienaar
DESCRIPTION:\nView etchings by award-winning SA artist in the City of 
 Roses\nFACE VALUE, an etching series by Malcolm Payne can currently be
  seen as part of the Permanent Collection on the first floor of Oliewe
 nhuis Art Museum. The series of 14 copper plate etchings was originall
 y created by contemporary artist Malcolm Payne as part of a solo exhib
 ition titled FACE VALUE old heads in modern masks that opened at the N
 ational Gallery, Cape Town in 1993.\nThe exhibition was inspired by th
 e Lydenburg Heads and was described in the Cape Times as ‘a visual, 
 archaeological and historical reading of the Lydenburg Heads’. These
  masks are the earliest known three-dimensional art forms to have emer
 ged in South Africa and carbon dating revealed that they date to 490 A
 D and were made by Early Iron Age people. The exhibition included the 
 original Lydenburg Heads, seven sculptures known as the Mafikeng Heads
 , the FACE VALUE series of etchings of which seven are of the Lydenbur
 g Heads, seven supermarket trolleys, seven aluminium structures as con
 tainers of information and a book.\nThe FACE VALUE etchings from the P
 ermanent Collection of Oliewenhuis Art Museum are a combination of bea
 utifully drawn images from many different sources, and symbols, patter
 ns and a variety of marks that stimulate the viewer to find meaning in
  these artworks. As Payne explores and questions South African cultura
 l histories in these works, time plays a significant role and imagery 
 and references from the ancient past (including images of the Lydenbur
 g Heads in seven of the etchings) are used together with contemporary 
 symbols such as the bar code in Keeping Time. This rich mixture of ima
 gery challenges the viewer to trace and identify diverse references fr
 om a vast reference field that reflects Malcolm Payne’s interest in 
 ‘utilising images and codes that relate to the experience of living 
 in South Africa today’.\nMalcolm Payne majored in printing and print
 making at the Tshwane University of Technology and then studied sculpt
 ure and mixed media at St Martins School of Art in London, and paintin
 g at the University of Cape Town. He has attained status as an influen
 tial South African artist, and has won several awards including the Sa
 sol New Signatures Competition in 1968 and the Standard Bank Young Art
 ist of the Year Award in 1984. In 1995 he held a solo exhibition at th
 e Venice Biennale and in 1999, the work Payne did in the 1970s was cho
 sen for the exhibition Global Conceptualism: Points of Origin 1950s-19
 80s at the Queens Museum in New York. Malcolm Payne is currently Profe
 ssor at the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Tow
 n.\nThe FACE VALUE series will be on show from 2 December until the en
 d of April 2012.\n\n\nFor more information visit http://www.big-5.co.z
