One of the MBDA’s iconic series of installations, Route 67, will get a great boost with the launch of a publication chronicling the journeys of two cartoon characters along Route 67.
The two, still to be named and characterised characters, will have their journey chronicled with the help of budding cartoonists who are being invited to an open call at the newly revamped Athenaeum building on Saturday 22 October.
Well know artists, Bretten-Anne Moolman and Louwrens Westraadt will be heading up the project and are the points of contact for budding artists and cartoonists wishing to contribute to the ‘fleshing out’ of these characters.
Initially 20 candidates will be selected and this number will be whittled down to between 3 and 5. The final selected artists will then visit each site on Route 67 and be invited to depict each character’s journey along these art installations finally landing up at the flagpole on the Donkin.
The finished product will also form part of a planned exhibition over the period of the National Arts Festival in June and July 2012.
