2  JARED GINSBURG SOUTH AFRICAN 1985– The Natural World (part 6) signed and dated 2015 collage with Indian ink on paper 64 by 90cm R20 000 – 30 000 PROVENANCE Blank Projects, Cape Town, 2015. Private Collection. EXHIBITED Blank Projects, Cape Town, Jared Ginsburg: The Natural World parts 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 , 25 May to 27 June 2015. In general terms, Ginsburg is invested in the process of art-making as a means to explore alternative modes of knowledge production and transfer. He recognises art as a tool, a means to test and probe the world, hoping to nurture strategies for productive engagement with it. In pursuit of this, he creates rules, games and exercises that propel him into states of play and catalyse reactions between himself and his material partner, be it bamboo, ink, paper or other. The studio is significant in this equation; at once a lab, an instrument and a character in conversation. 15
