look in the stands as it is the country. stay with us to hear from the artist himself. also coming out it's 20 years since eric was somebody from i can tell you are guinea amazed at the sydney olympics gaining a thing as the slowest limping swimmer. a junior you're welcome to the program why are we facing so many natural disaster this how actions on the environment contributed to the questions difficult to answer but not for 78 year old south african poet and sculptor. he's using his extraordinary sculptures makes with some spirituality to help protect the environment his artwork made from animal bones is meant to encourage the sighted.

fight against actions that damage major on the environment. this is not unusual in art and it also has a message 78 year old south african sculptor professor and poet peter cantu really created 45. he called the exhibition of a zealot in mississippi any in the local zulu language translated into english this means return to the source for the artist sings have never seemed more urgent. all we have to prepare ourselves for more kind of a pandemic is simply because we have disrespected nature we have been around nature with plastic always sleeps everything and with carry so the whole issues of greed the issues of. the other ones that are merely led us to where we are now in yet is that other people our poll reps and everybody else tells us about how

we must be cully. the atis has been working for more than 40 years will use material he scavenge is fun scrape yet off with bare bones as is then over the last 3 years by creating this soul coronavirus restrictions mean the public has not yet been able to see their artworks but every sculpture can be viewed virtually together with supplementary audio that truly recorded it specially for each piece. what this exhibition has done it's challenge what curating is because for a long time we've all thing with thought about creating has been traditional has been going to space and seen our 2 etc and particular by these brains has challenged art and the art industry even how we speak of art and how art speaks to

us critic and tool is an expert on african indigenous knowledge systems. i'm throwing down the bones. in order to divine this stage of the nation in this state of the universe the state of our environment the state of our own mental health as to what exactly happened is that for every visitor to decide by himself whether looking at the sky plus we're actually far physically join a planned 2 of the exhibition through several cells african museums scheduled for 2021 the genius artist fertik out to lead joins us from johannesburg south africa and thanks for your time so your artwork is warning humans to return to the source or be faced with more pandemics now that sounds a bit scary what and how do you me and wanted me.

to reach serious human beings. who where we. are with. including them. were. they were in a. certain other really concrete really serious. imbalance. you imagine yourself. killing animals and use and you mainly use bones for your artwork how do you get hold of your bones. so what happens is that i meet every year. in my rest. riches when the bones be eaten there's no flesh remaining then you can then go to the year in egypt is there in asking or tell you which one

of those. you know was this yes then the next the what you have to do is to come up with be able incense or for their ancestors in order to wear a piece of gear the spirits are there any months that near 'd you are taking and explain if any to those spirits what you are going to use those. bones for in order to present them again protect them against their. gaze dear mr fairlie in a torah zeal in order to help us to attain that ideal that those particular animals themselves would have loved about that's sounds are quite deep but how exactly is your artwork helping people to take proper care of the environment. so what happened is that a little bit for bones had we sent didn't peach esle the program. that people reduced the retrial in some of that it is thinking

a not be who. we see. in land on. you know also the land our leading musicians the evil one challenged as in pua you know. is will we look cool in all our you know musicians and think us a call if we give them a a no these are the bones of how to really edge to them and they compose forums and compose songs and if you can imagine then digitally in our sons and calling us. for passing on the environment from the people that the people are low in laugh you can look at it in a statement you know and it says now you mention how africa has lost its way from ecological balance how did that happen. it would have been that i mean colonialism . is all about in the process you know gaining you know the resources of

converting people to think lay them so that people forget now in our cultures it's better for them to be better for us to be you know you know to control. what happens therefore is that. we give the forgotten who we are with becomes so much other people's alethia where you have to go into trade is born you don't count the umbilical cord you wait until red or a beautiful quote drops in a way drops you plant a tree to link the child a delete the child with the environment where they are and then they told him and for his there's the master the how you know and also the number in a snake so what is it with relationship with any mothers any relationship where in . the you know their religion can balance. is a certainty ok if my. is there. and

therefore i would have to protect the halo one it's where do i take it. if yours is a sheep literally to protect the sheep so there are those countries there is. everything is protected for in a heretical balance ok now you're almost 18 yes what's your motivation to keep going strong. when i went to beijing for clean air in the songs of veteran who was a lot of people i love beauty i love this at least. but i have political meeting and that is when i was brought up there were older people who to me adopted me they lent to me and helped me to be who i am i am motivated because they are going to see down me and mentor and number of other people who has the intellect they do even those who don't think that they do says or get handed to the lead they do so that they're. creative that you know work

ok it began to me sculpture from johannesburg south africa many thanks for your time. now was of you may remember him cause he gave all he could and the public loved him for about 20 years ago eric moussambani for material guinea swam the 100 metre freestyle during the sydney olympics after the competitors had been disqualified for a false start he had to swim the entire distance alone in the gigantic ball he really struggled to get to the last of tb test done but that sharing of the public spread him on he finally touched the end of the pool after one minute 52 seconds and 7200 ths of a 2nd that's more than twice the time of the gold medalist that and him the credits of been the slowest olympic swimmer in the nickname eric. while his style

remains a little bit different to other professional swimmers and his training conditions aren't any better than where 20 years ago he still inspired by the olympic spirit. was a money shot to world theme as a result of his achievement 20 years later he's been reflecting on his unlikely stardom in sydney. after finishing the swim on a personal level i really grateful i got to feel like i had at least represented my country and i had completed the 100 metres that was something i had never achieved before. i believe that in life when you have a goal to do something you have to keep pushing yourself to do it you have to keep going to keep fighting because sacrifice and effort is how you get what you want. moral of the story is to never give up and that's where we draw the curtains on

since now. what connects people is stronger than it separates them. was so strong that it cannot be torn down. we celebrate the 30th anniversary of his review this occasion october 3rd on d w. one of the world's most important contemporary artists 88 year old gal how to face down unveils what he calls his last major work that story coming up on arts and culture and later on the show london fashion week covert edition designers take a step away from the traditional catwalk and.

what's the buzz on bees and electronic music. welcome to arts and culture german artist joe hart says he's completed the last major project of his life and if that's true it is a pretty grand farewell the 88 year old whose works rank among the most valuable in contemporary art donated a new set of abstract stained glass windows to germany's oldest abbey. it's a monumental gift of in estimable value light shines through an original work by care hard to ishtar abstract art gothic church architecture but it's not a biblical scene which is depicted. lincoln's incredibly important we don't give

in to the temptation to depict god as an old man with a bushy beard and white hair. when gary hart was asked to create the windows he agreed immediately. the artist was not present at the opening but let it be known he is very happy with the results the artwork is based on an abstract painting from 990 which richter processed digitally. split it up on the computer and mirrored it then mirrored the image over and over again here and the middle we have the progression he used as a model for the towline being. a log of poli. turning into glass is a process of translation from canvas into

a very special material the windows were created here in the studios of the whole class of. found 3 in munich various techniques were used details from the canvas version have. very different effect. because we have lights a canvas image isn't back with glass you have a situation with different lighting conditions morning afternoon evening with the sun shining through. had already designed a church window in 2007 he made one for the cologne cathedral now there's a counterpart in total despite the fact that richter actually left the church. as this promise of eternity being present for centuries in a church so that's a different appeal than having pictures in

a museum. germany's oldest abbey in the small village of total lie is now also a place of pilgrimage for lovers. from one of the best known names in art to an artist whose real name remains unknown and it looks like for once banksy is anonymity is working against him the european union's trademark office has thrown out banks his application to register this mural of a protester throwing flowers they said if the artist wants to stop merchandisers from copying his motif he'll have to use copyright law like other artists banks he's avoided copyright lawsuits because they would require him to reveal his identity is even said copyright is for losers. because the 1000 pandemic and the economic crunch are forcing fashion houses to get even more creative burberry has already switched some of its production from trench coats to

protective medical wear and now for the london fashion week the british label took to the countryside trading in their traditional runway for forest trails and an online audience designer ricardo to shoot live streams his street where heavy spring summer collection and a show choreographed by acclaimed performance artist i met him. and another designer at london fashion week isn't doing any kind of runway at all not even a hike through the woods but gareth pugh is showing his new collection at christie's auction house it's a multimedia exhibition combining fashion music and film she has been called an architect and sculptor of fashion even before we meet a fashion here he is in his own words.

you'd like to see challenge that with things that don't we don't necessarily like to see done so be it somebody else go so this aches so it's kind of like. doing something in a in a in an in the thoughts than just astounded fashion show which i sometimes equate to a tennis match is open and it's you know we need to evolve from nothing basically with the connection with we've done a very small collection it's 13 looks that we've had with 13 different tracks it's kind of like a visual album. so to get i mean it was it was super nice to be back at the stage after lockdown and i realized you know working from home doesn't quite cut it so being back at the studio and happens in the folk. that's really important i'm a little model and i started making this model in the studio just before because the studio down to the last. minute was stuck.

it was stuck to a mirror tile but it's not all anymore you know that the genesis of the idea was to create something slaughtered on the plains you know we will look in bach at the mistakes are we have made and i'm not just talking about one thing in particular but i think the time of reckoning for everybody where you're looking bach to war has gone before and you're looking forwards to a time when those wrongs can be made right. this year it's been so incredibly to motorists there's been so many things going on whether it's the protests in hong kong whether it's been mine in spain torn down whether it's the pandemic it's an election year in america it's just that it feels like the plates of the earth a kind of shifting and nobody really knows where it's going to end so yeah this project i guess is

a reaction to have enough going on around us and it's hope so they are going to leave people with a sense of hope and optimism. because we all need to bed. now if insects can be fashionable be user totally on trend they've been featured in a gucci collection the venom is a hit in high end cosmetics and new studies show that humming actually does have some medicinal properties some musicians are also turning to be used for inspiration welcome to the world of d.j. and beekeeper b. only sam. keeping bees and working as a d.j. aren't normally activities that most people would see is related in any way. to be at least 7 his music comes from the buzzing of bees he produces cool beats with it

and has a message for his listeners as being the hearts of loss of a set during violence or are once a child by a performer some audio piece a state program based success speak for themselves people connect to great through the silence. the only sense of studied art and design and jam his experimental music while he was still a student he calls it insect text it. c uses a special software to isolate the different frequencies of the bees a minute. there are 3 types of being a high this is going to work through is to draw in the charge of their own frequency right. so the crave has

a high pitch piping sound homeworkers has economy midrange sound drunk by all being asked to these days so. he uses a scanner to record the sounds made by the beings the frame he built is fitted with microphone just under digital recorder which can capture hours of buzzing in the be hived. being nice always tinkering with new instruments for his music. once he's filled the recorders memory and the london park near me simply takes it home to his studio he analyzes the bee sounds and arranges them through various synthesizers to create a track and when you put sounds all of this they become kind of the last. dick so the community. interface for this synthesizer is to be flowing into the flower.

it's moved. out in the next the sound would. be any samples taken his sound installations all over the world for example to the oz electronica festival in events austria and the media ought to be an ally in fatfat poland. always takes to the stage in a beekeeper suit he wants to remain anonymous he wants the listeners to concentrate solely on the music. that this year his performances a concert. during lockdown of locally being able to come appear to my be is in just maybe to hades. you know regardless of the pandemic can lock down everything the bees just carry on as normal and not shoot they're happy

that there's not as much pollution. this year. if his bees are happy being any semblance to his sounds are a hit especially with young audiences at the same time they raise awareness of the worldwide decline of the populations. the author of the novel forrest gump has died at age 77 winston groom wrote several books but he's best known for his story turned into a film by robertson backus. my mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. you never know what you're going to get the 1994 movie forrest gump 16 oscars with tom hanks and the title role as a slow thinking optimist or becomes a star athlete. well that's it for this edition of arts and culture i'll leave you
