Notes

Marco Cianfanelli was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1970 and graduated, with a distinction in fine art, from the University of the Witwatersrand in 1992. He has had numerous solo exhibitions and has won a number of awards, including the ABSA L’Atelier, which culminated in a residency at the Cité des Arts in Paris, and an Ampersand Fellowship, which took him to New York.

Fiercely committed to testing the possibilities for artistic intervention in the public realm and engaging with other professionals from diverse fields, he has been involved in a wide range of projects involving art, architecture and public space. His work is found in public and private collections in South Africa (Sasol, Absa, Didata, Bloemfontein Art Museum), Europe and the United States. Cianfanelli is an artist who thinks of the world more in terms of systems than discrete objects or fenced off territories of engagement. He is constantly looking to realise art where one doesn’t expect to find it.

Rage forms part of a series of works that explore the repetitive use of a word, a mantra or the idea that thoughts or emotions tend to build up and through this process the sculptural forms are created.
