Indepth Arts News: "Christine Dixie - HIDE" 2002-03-08 until 2002-03-28 US Art Gallery Stellenbosch, ML, ZA South Africa
hide, v.t. hide, to withhold or withdraw from sight. to conceal; to screen; to suppress; not to confess: v.i. to lie concealed: n. a hiding place (Coll.).
This continues a line of contemporary art-making that, while rooted in Europe and the Americas, is deeply South African. That Dixie’s work is rooted, moreover, in both the concrete and fantastical experience of the South African landscape – inner and outer – places it within a tradition of landscape art particular to the Eastern Cape. (Excerpt taken from Sublimation and desublimation: the ambiguity of utopia and death in Hide by Gerhard Schoeman Grahamstown 2001: Art historian and artist, Rhodes University Fine Art Department)
Christine Dixie was born in Cape Town in 1966. She studied for her undergraduate fine art degree at the University of the Witwatersrand, for her post-graduate degree at the University of Cape Town, and completed her MFA there in 1993. Dixie is currently a lecturer in the Fine Art Department, Rhodes University.
