Viviers Studio x Soho House Cocktail

September 07 @ 16:30

Known for a practice that centres the making of conceptual, Earth conscious wearable sculptures, Lezanne Viviers is an Internationally acclaimed South African fashion designer and a seasoned collector.

YGGDRASIL…

Viviers collaborates with long time collaborator and artist, Marlene Steyn to co-create a series of paper works
through partnering with Pulp paperworks and Edition Verso.

The body of work unfolds into a series of toroidal printed impressions on orgonite pulp.

YGGDRASIL…

an anti-death, an energy-capsule and a myth-preserver
a keeper of inner wisdom and cosmic truths
a future fossil, guarded by elemental keepers

Unfolding in revelation of a New Earth map, galactic soul mapping collides with micro mole mapping.
The hidden and rooted spine of our subterranean planet is explored through our own toroidal energy currents and crystal chakra centers.

Prints (traditional and wearable) and pulped objects will be presented in this quadrupedal collaboration and will be exhibited along living sculptures.

Event details

The Anglo American art and object collection is a combination of art collected over several decades through four different companies: Anglo American, de Beers Group, Anglo American Platinum and Kumba Iron Ore.

The collection comprises of 3600 works, with around 1000 pieces in the collection on display at the newly commissioned Rosebank offices. Although vast, the collection experienced an acquisition hiatus from the early 2000s until 2021 creating a significant gap in the collection’s representation of contemporary art. The collection now has a dedicated curator, Megan Scott, tasked with its cataloguing and digitisation, opening an exciting new chapter which will see the gradual procurement of significant works that reflect our contemporary South African and African art world.
