Dreams as R-Evolution (Paperback)

Paperback. Dreams as R-evolution is both the catalogue for an art installation of the same name, and a work of art itself. The book is a sumptuously-designed record of an exhibit conveying the work of Durban-based artist, Coral Bijoux, landscaped into the spaces of the Westville Plant Nursery.Among the images that open the book is text by the artist that functions as a poem, a warning, and as historical observation. When you want to enslave a people, you steal their ability to dream. Reminiscent of the U.S. Black poet Langston Hughes 1951 lyric, A Dream Deferred, (What happens to a dream deferred/Does it dry up/Like a raisin in the sunOr does it explode?), Bijouxs text prepares us to consider dreaming as an act of insurrection. Dreams as R-evolution is both the catalogue for an art installation of the same name, and a work of art itself. The book is a sumptuously-designed record of an exhibit conveying the work of Durban-based artist, Coral Bijoux, landscaped into the spaces of the Westville Plant Nursery.
