inter-sections on fox



The opening of Inter-sections on Fox
 dirk bahmann + jason frenkel ]

at the GoetheonMain  on 4 October2012  18h30
The exhibition runs till the 28th October 2012

Inter-sections on fox is an exhibition that explores and documents the diverse worlds that converge on the streets of the Maboneng District.  Fox street hosts a multiplicity of users who occupy the public space of the street in a way unlike anywhere else in Jo’burg.  The rules of engagement here are ambivalent and there is therefore a constant re-negotiation of how people interact with each other.  This exhibition traces the movements of the various users from Fox street to their destinations throughout Jo’burg. It examines the emerging culture of urbanity and the intersection of worlds that is a unique phenomenon in the still highly fragmented city of Johannesburg. 
Gallery opening hours

Thursday: 11:00 – 20:00
Friday and Saturday: 10:00 – 16:00

produce a map that locates the site within its larger context

choose a 'full' and comparable scale (1:5000 and not 1:5234)
familiarize yourselves with the provided base map provided 
the provided map should be usable in scale 1:6000 on an 
draw selected street section 1:200
draw selected elevations 1:500, 1:200
complement the provided base map provided 1:2000, 
indicating streets, sidewalks, building outlines open spaces
along the area of investigation:

or larger scale (1:100 - 1:10) if you need to illustrate details
