Art Exhibition: Berco Wilsenach: Extracts From The “Blind Astronomer”
Become the Master of the Universe at Spier’s new art exhibition showcasing the works of Berco Wilsenach.
Wilsenach created ‘Project For The Blind Astronomer’ between 2009 and 2013 in collaboration with Spier Arts Trust’s Patronage Program. This exhibition, or sections thereof, have been shown locally and internationally in prominent exhibition spaces such as The Smithsonian’s Museum for African Art, Newark Museum of Modern Art, Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Pretoria Art Museum and Spier Wine Farm.
‘Project For The Blind Astronomer’ is an artistic exploration of space, how we map the stars and how our sense of sight enables us to witness the splendour of the universe. Read more about the exhibition here.
