The Game : Three innovative artists Guy André Lagesse, Doung Jahangeer and Peter McKensie will kick a ball across the African continent from South Africa to France, in the lead-up to football’s 2010 World Cup, never before hosted in Africa. Along the way they’ll catalyze on-location participatory artistic processes with the communities they encounter. The creations and spirit that arise from these collaborations are the basis for a film/relay from which installations, exhibitions, publications and films for local and international distribution are shaped.
The Team: FOOTSAK is a trans-continental initiative that combines the energies of three artists who’ve worked together for the past eight years on exchanges, residencies, exhibitions, installations, multimedia and film, and their respective organisations: Doung Anwar Jahangeer from Dala, an art/architecture/activist group from Durban; Peter McKenzie of Johannesburg-based photographer’s collective Twasa; and Guy-Andre Lagesse from Les Pas Perdus art collective in Marseille. All three groups work with a broad spectrum of civil society, making art that continually questions its role, relevance, consequence and functions.
