2019 Competition entry

Miné Kleynhans
Details:
Not Signed
Oil on ceramic
70 x 135 cm
R5 000
Description:
Thematically I am interested in the wide range of beliefs and practices (all kinds of divination, astrology, superstition and personal beliefs) that are based on the premise that random external phenomena can be cognitively ordered or interpreted in such a sway that we attain ‘insight’ or ‘lesson’ to the participant. There seems to be a very strong link between game playing or fabrication and what we perceive to be insight or truth.
In Thinking Error I explore the notion that internal and not external phenomena also feature in the activity of ‘ordering’ lived experience into sensible patterns. The ancient board game Snakes and Ladders connotes vice and virtue. The work is a contemplation on a personal and internal game whereby attitudes towards the external world is governed by a system of reward and punishment.
