Wildetecture @ artmode exhibition 2015, woodstock the palms, cape town

It is an immense privilege to exhibit a few of our key wildetecture pieces at the ARTMODE exhibition, at the palms in Woodstock. Exhibition opening was last night and the energy is continuing until the end of next week.

Interactive invited to art exhibitions were artists showcase their ability alongside other artists work, is really inspirational for both artists and patron. I haven't been involved in something like this before. Preferring like most creatives to really work behind the curtain and then showcase the work afterwards ehole yo present at the venue. It was great to have exposure on several levels. Because to my mind most artists are showmen  and when the limelight hits - i defy any artist not to enjoy the kiss of its fire. 

When others express genuine interest in our art work, we open like a flower to the sun light. However to be an artist is to be mostly starved of light and water. Artists have to learn to deal with the negativity of criticism. Critics that dont grow your artistic passion but actively seek to destroy it.  When an artistic thought is made manifest into a skeletal end product. Its your deep thoughts put outside your mind. Others will feel its insipid, weak, not that great. The artist will hear this cacophony or barrage of external thoughts. An artist will have the resilience to improve despite the criticism. Thats the simple way of passionate art outcomes. Improve through the negativity. So when one showcases ones art work, you learn to wait for the hammer blows. 

For this exhibition we ran a gut line between pieces and then we hung up art work we did during the evening - we termed it the wildetecture "dirty laundry series" and it was paying historical respects in some ways to the district 6 vibe of where we gound ourselves. When clothes lines where strung over the street balconies and everyday life was welded into city center corporate mindset. My granny lived in district 6, so in some small way it was an ode to her. I never met her, but the stories of those that did, permeate my thoughts. 

Dean - exhibited his viking Norse designs for our Scotland shipping company client - And we had a few usual wildetecture suspects on display. We have had a few requests for pieces to be housed in permanent art exhibitions - And its great to interact with the design artistic energy cape town has to offer. We have picked 

up several commisions.

Artistic wild is as artistic wild does. While Dean with the energy output of 10 people ran around. Myself and Warren quietly drew and spoke. Art is different resonant energy for everyone. That's what makes being part of an artistic expression sessions very exciting. 

Thank you Artmode.
