NOTES: Monograph on the work of Johannesburg-based artist Rodney Place with text by Maren Richter, and e-mail conversation with the artist.

It conjoins equivocal structures as visible and invisible theme spaces, in order to draw attention to the polemical foundations of history. Based on four social viewpoints - which draw from old colonial and new post-colonial social hierarchies - he indicates how history and politics are interwoven in the process of constructing identity." 14 pages, full color.
