Robin Rhode's trademark is the wall. His works are influenced by
urban music culture, film, popular sports, youth culture, and
traditional South African storytelling. They are created in the
public space, on walls. It's not about the statement that he leaves
behind on the street, though-it's about the pro-cess. Hence, in his
visual short stories he captures the links between drawing,
performance, and sculpture, step by step. No body without a line,
no line without a body. With drawing as his starting point, he
develops increasingly complex photo-graphic works, digital
animations, performances, sculptures, and works on paper, which
comprise a content-related balanc-ing act between South African
history, culture, mindset, signs, and codes and the abstract
language of European-Ameri-can art history. This richly illustrated
catalogue accompanies Rhode's first solo show in twelve years in
Germany. Besides pictures of the art itself, the book also contains
an interview, an introductory essay, and poems by South African
authors, to which his work often refers.
