As part of the seventh season of performances at Maboneng's collaborative, cross-disciplinary art space The Centre for the Less Good Idea (check out what's on the programme and book for performances here), a series of free art installations are on display at the Centre in Arts On Main from Wed Sep 22 to Sun Sep 26. The installations open to the public on Wed Sep 22 at 17:00.

Still Life A new silent video work and installation by artist Browyn Lace and musician Anne Vanschothorst and poet Antjie Krog. In Lace's four-screen video installation a collection of bones, cleaned, gilded, in some cases threaded is dutifully photographed and digitally blended into one, accompanied by a suspended and re-assembled ostrich ribcage and pelvis. These works find themselves in conversation with landscape music composer Anne Vanschothorst’s spoken word project klip lied snaar, a collaborative compositional project made in response to the poetry and voice of Antjie Krog.

Pepper's Ghost  An installation consisting of four different elements, including: the surreal The Library of Babel, Metamorphosis, an installation exploring themes of physicality, interpretation and animality through mirrors, voice and manipulated footage, Witnesses, a new video installation by William Kentridge, and Beyond the Pale, a meditation drawing on Homi K Bhabha’s work Art of Multicultural Translation.

The installations are on view from 11:00-17:00 and entrance is free.
