Local Art • 1970 • I
Jean Tinguely visits Pretoria as an ardent fan of Grand Prix racing. Tinguely uses facilities at the Pretoria Tech (now Tshwane University of Technology). 4th-year art student Malcolm Payne misses his art history exam to film the sculptor at work.
An entry from the timeline included in the exhibition Dada South? Experimentation, Radicalism and Resistance (2009–2010) at the Iziko National Gallery, which proposed connections between art production in South Africa and abroad against the social and political contexts that framed them. A revised version of this timeline was later featured in the retroactive Flight Paths (2011) exhibition guide commissioned by Clare Butcher.
