DOEprojekts (DOE) + Keiskamma Art Project (KAP) Explore Lines, Shapes, Colors, Textures, Tones — and Coreforms — in Hamburg, South Africa


In a series of six workshops, DOEprojekts and Keiskamma Art Project artists explored various expressions of lines, shapes, colors, textures and tones through creative exercises and critiques of each participants' work and the work of other contemporary international artists.


DOE's Coreforms (zeros, ones, hyphens, tildes and periods— also known as circles, horizontal and vertical lines, swashes and points) were also discussed and explored as a basis for ongoing collaboration between DOE+KAP artist groups. Several new and unique combination of Coreforms emerged as potential expressions for forthcoming art pieces.
