Naweek van digkuns wink vir woordvrateAlle paaie lei binnekort weer na die Langeberg wanneer die jaarlikse Gedigte in McGregor-naweek van 25 tot 27 Augustus hiér gehou word.
Die fees vier vanjaar sy vyfde bestaansjaar en die geleentheid is oudergewoonte propvol gepak met meer as 90 deelnemers met ’n mengelmoes van ou bekendes sowel as verskeie vars jong stemme.
Vanjaar val die kollig veral op die gedigtekompetisie. Alle aspirant digters kan aan dié kompetisie deelneem mits hul gedigte vanjaar se tema, Poësie as Hartskos, weerspieël. Engelse gedigte kan ingeskryf word onder die tema Poetry against Poverty.
Hierdie kompetisie, wat oop is vir alle ongepubliseerde digters, het twee kategorieë: die popkategorie vir volwassenes en die skolekategorie vir leerders van graad 7 tot 12.
Die wenner in die volwassene-kategorie sal met R5 000 wegstap, terwyl die skolekategorie se wenner ’n splinternuwe iPad sal losslaan.
Volgens Billy Kennedy, eienaar vanTemenos (waar baie van die voorlesings sal plaasvind) en voorsitter van die Gedigte in McGregor-komitee, speel gedigte ’n belangrike rol in ons lewe. “Ek glo dit is so noodsaaklik soos vars lug. Iemand het eens geskryf dat baie van die geweld en sielkundige probleme in ons samelewing waarskynlik te danke is aan die gebrek aan poësie. Om bevooroordeel te wees is altyd eensydig.
“Poësie maak gedagtes oop. Poësie isuitdagend; dit kan ons hervorm en herskep.
“Dit gee ons dieper insig en bewustheid van mekaar en hoe ons almal in gees verbind is. Dit doen vir die gees wat joga vir die liggaam doen.”
Digters wat van hul werke gaan deel, sluit in Koos Kombuis, Ashley Dowds, Pieter Fourie, Johan Myburg, Nic de Jager, Kobus Moolman, Lungiswa Nyatyowa, Lerato Sibanda, Philip de Vos, Diana Ferrus, Daniel Hugo, Lara Kirsten, Fanie Olivier, Koos van der Merwe, Mavis Vermaak, Wendy Woodward, Hermien de Vos en vele meer.
As deel van die Gedigte in McGregor-naweek, gaan die McGrogor Community Arts (MAC)-projek ook ’n spesiale skoledagprogram op 25 Augustus aanbied.
Meer as 800 leerders van verskeie skole in die omgewing sal hierdie besondere geleentheid bywoon.
Die Kaapse kunstenaar Ha Man! salsaam met Joke Debaere ’n konsert van musiek, drama en gedigte aanbied.
Die Afrikaanse groep Ruk! gaan ookdeur die loop van die oggend optree.

Hede, verlede verweef in werkeAngelo Julies
Gautengers gaan binnekort die geleentheid kry om hul te verlustig in die kunswerke van die Rawsonvillese puntellisme-kunstenaar, Corné Theron, wanneer ’n solo-uitstalling van haar werk van 22 Julie tot 8 Augustus in Johannesburg te sien gaan wees.
Haar jongste versameling, Collecting Consciousness, is ’n keur van olieskilderye en ander nuwe werke, insluitend digitale plakskilderye van foto’s van haar vriende.
“Ek het vir van my vriende in diekunsbedryf gevra om vir my ou vintage foto’s van hulle en hul voorouers te gee,” sê sy. “Ek wou deur hierdie projek die hede en verlede bymekaar bring en ’n
gesprek tussen twee generasies en die prosesse van geheuevorming uitbeeld.
“Die geheue van die mens is nie soos ’n video-opname nie, maar meer soos sketse of prente wat soos ’n legkaart aanmekaar gepak word, soos in my werke gewys,” sê Theron.
Sy meen hierdie projek is andersas haar vorige werke, hoewel die prosesse dieselfde is. “Dit is anders as my vorige werke omdat dit meer ’n gesprekvoering uitbeeld.”
Hierdie indrukwekkende kunswerke neem jou terug in die verlede, maar gee jou terselfdertyd u ’n blik op die toekoms.
Die projek het Theron ongeveer vier maande geneem om te voltooi. “Dit neem ’n redelik tydjie om aan die projek te werk, veral omdat ek tegelykertyd aan al die skilderye werk.”
Corné Theron, ’n puntellismekunstenaar van Rawsonville, wil die hede en die verlede bymekaar bring deur haar werk.
Inskrywings vir die gedigtekompetisie moet voor 30 Julie na [email protected] gestuur word. Vir meer inligting en kompetisiereëls, gaan na www.poetryinmcgregor.co.za. Kaartjies vir die naweek sal vanaf middelJulie by Computicket beskikbaar wees.

Art with ‘heart’ can affect societyArt lovers can still visit the La Galleria in McGregor to see Floris van Zyl’s exhibit, Untwine, which opened on 8 July. Many people from the village as well as holiday goers attended the opening.
The exhibition focuses on how “we are all entwined by our desires. It’s part of being human, of being a physical being.”
In this body of work Van Zyl, from Worcester, focuses on “untwining”, on taking known shapes apart by painting outside of the lines we draw for ourselves and those drawn by society. To let go and detach from outcomes, to allow paint to happen rather than trying to control it.
“I feel that when thoughts, feelings, and actions are untied and translated into art, it has the power to affect the spiritual climate of society and in this way, make a positive impact. My work ranges through stages of abstraction, letting the paint and material guide the process along with my heart and eye. I don’t think about the marks I’m making, I let the marks happen. The mind becomes a tool in the bigger process and has to stand back for heart and eye to flow. I let the eye look at it and the hand just does what the eye and heart wants, and I simply respond to it because I feel I want to do it,” explains Van Zyl.
Van Zyl is a South African Expressionist painter who studied graphic design in the early 90’s, built his own design agency over 17 years and returned to painting fulltime in 2010. In just over five years he created more than 400 artworks, including around 200 oil paintings. They have sold locally and internationally and include landscapes, still life images, portraits and self-portraits. His work is characterised by bold, symbolic colours, and dramatic, impulsive and expressive
brushwork. One of the themes in Van Zyl’s work
is to take things apart: to take realism and make it abstract by using a palette knife, to extend the paint beyond the boundaries of the form we know. An example of this is Van Zyl`s painting titled “Underdog”.
He explains: “A hyena is usually perceived as an underdog. I want to show the strength and beauty in what society might perceive as less or dark. I am interested in how we filter our experiences. How do we find a unique expression and not just automatically respond to what we think we know.”
La Galleria, McGregor, opened in March 2017 as Dani’s Photos Studio and Gallery, but with the idea to share the space with other artists for exhibitions.
The gallery was built in 2016 on the corner of Bree and Mill Street in McGregor. The feel is very natural. The art is displayed without invading the
lime plastered walls and the old Oregon pine windows and doors bring natural light into the space. The peaceful space outside under the coral tree is the perfect spot to sit and discuss art and life.
The Untwine exhibit will be open until 23 July.
