Saadjies no. 2 - People (Black Box)

ACTIVISTS HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL TOUCH TO PROBLEM SOLVING

Saadjies (Pods) is a travelling exhibition of 68 miniature sculptures (18cm x 18cm 18cm) as part of Cool Capital’s initiative to exhibit excellent sculpture made in Pretoria both locally and abroad - thereby creating the awareness of the city’s impressive sculptural heritage.
Saadjies challenges the notion that public sculpture can only be created by famous artists and should be impressively large. Saadjies are exhibited in public spaces and in cities worldwide, including here in Venice (make sure to look for them in unexpected places). Sculptor and dentist Izanne Wiid’s Black Box is a collection of the fingers of some members of Pretoria’s creative community who took part as volunteers in 2014 Cool Capital - depicting the individual nature of their contributions.
