Ralph Ziman – SPOEK 1

Ralph Ziman’s SPOEK 1 at Iziko National Gallery, Cape Town (2016). Courtesy Sulger-Buel Lovell 

Ralph Ziman has reclaimed a Casspir armored vehicle for his work, SPOEK 1. The Casspir is synonymous with the heavy hand of apartheid oppression in the townships and urban areas of South Africa. While designed originally as a military vehicle, it was used extensively against civilian populations in the 1980s. For his installation, Ziman has covered the surface of the Casspir with elaborate, brightly-coloured panels of glass beads, arrayed in traditional patterns made by artisans from Zimbabwe and the Mpumalanga province of South Africa. With SPOEK 1 (and the larger Casspir Project), Ziman sets out to confront the past and initiate a dialogue on where we are going. Prior to 1-54, SPOEK 1 has travelled throughout South Africa making stops at The South African National Gallery, Iziko Cape Town (December 2016 – March 2017); The Turbine Art Fair, Johannesburg (July 2017); Everard Read Gallery – Keys Art Mile, Johannesburg (July 2017); and The Melrose Gallery, Johannesburg (September 2017).
