MINA NGOHLALA NGINJE (I WILL ALWAYS BE THIS WAY) Interesting blog about the thinking behind the art here by Mr Baggins. The Brenda Fassie sculpture, created by artist Angus Taylor, is a 1570-metre (I guess they mean 1,570m - it's not that big! ) life-size bronze that stands outside the Bassline music venue. It was installed in March 2006 and was the first of 40 sculptures commissioned by the Sunday Times newspaper in celebration of its 100th birthday. The sculpture features Brenda sitting on a stool behind a microphone standing on the ground. The text superimposed on Fassie’s body is made up of quotes by the artist on her relationship with the media. The empty stool by her side invites passers-by to take their seat next to this music legend.
