 Anton was at his dad's funeral on Friday, he took it hard, but he is fine.  We went out to watch the game and a pub, get drunk, eat and enjoy the dance at the floor.

The Design and Development of Pieter Lategan Galleries

When you think, a lot of people keep their thoughts to themselves. It is not always understandable why people do certain things, because you don't know what is on the mindset of that person.

Now you may wonder why I am writing this. This is a blog, please note, not a website. Before I proceed with this sentence, I want to explain the difference between a blog and a website, well, that is what Google says.

I searched for the actual difference between a blog and a website. They are different in their nature but similar in type. This means they are similar types but apart from each other. I won't delve deeper into that, but a website consists of a link of pages, whereas a blog is the thoughts and opinions of a writer which do not have pages that navigate to other pages, like going to a contact page, price list page, or about us page. So it is easy to explain but not always easy to remember.

I want to continue with the first two sentences with which I started: I design and develop on my blog, ideas, concepts, and thoughts. Sometimes it gets out of hand, and my imagination runs away from me.

The internet space is very interesting; you can basically do what you want. However, there are certain things you need to understand. If you put information about yourself, your address, your phone number, things change and laws are made so that it is not always possible inline by the law, like the Sectional Title law where I am not allowed to run a business from home. If I advertise, I need to do it without an address, but it is okay to call, yet you have to bring your client to you. This is wrong, because then you cannot do business at the place you reside, which is not allowed. It is difficult to live in your own unit because anyone can access this property which I own, and the wrong person might walk in and claim that I am conducting business. Then again, he needs to prove it, but if he sends his friend and there are a few pieces of evidence, that can lead to unwanted trouble in form of a letter.

While I am on the topic, this letter was addressed to me this week. It gives me a good understanding of how the art is experiencing me. In an individual's opinion. My acting was maybe to gain financial pleasure, but I was acting as a salesman, to train myself to start selling artworks, which the art institution has less or no knowledge of.

Benefits of Buying my Oil Paintings and Acrylics.

My oil paintings have a quality of liveliness not found in printed artwork, and they have the potential to increase in value, if not likelihood.

You can pay far less money for an unknown artist, but you can pay more for my paintings because you know me, you know how I work, and you see me around.

You will not buy fake art from me; you will know that I created it.

You help me, Pieter, when you buy my art. That is why it is also more valuable.

You will support me in showcasing my unique talent, and it will help me to gain recognition.

8 of 2011

The Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act 8 of 2011 aims:

• to provide for the establishment of bodies corporate to manage and regulate sections and common property in sectional titles schemes and for that purpose to apply rules applicable to such schemes;
• to establish a sectional titles schemes management advisory council; and
• to provide for matters connected therewith.

That is the reason why I have to stop a Gallery or Studio on my balcony.

What is an Artwork

Definition of an Artwork

An artwork is a physical object that may have an aesthetic and/or conceptual value. This could be a painting, a sculpture, a photograph, an installation, a drawing, a collage, etc. Some works fall beyond the scope of traditional art: this is the case of land art, where the work is made directly in the landscape; performance art which involves an artist's actions in front of a live audience; or ready-mades, where artist gives ordinary objects the status of an artwork.

Artworks can be created with a very wide range of techniques, and many artists even combine several techniques and mediums in their works. many artists today tend to combine several techniques and mediums in their artworks. A photograph, for example, may be taken using a film camera, a digital camera, or a Polaroid camera. An artwork is often affiliated with an art movement, a style of art with a specific aim or philosophy followed by artists for a period of time. Claude Monet's paintings are associated with Impressionism, a movement that arose in the second half of the nineteenth century. The history of art is made up of hundreds of art movements. Other examples of significant movements include cubism, surrealism and abstract expressionism.

The evolution of the concept of an artwork

For a long time, it was thought that an artwork had to be a unique piece created or designed by an artist (whether a painter, a sculptor, a photographer, or an draughtsman) which should reflect the artist's technical abilities. Several artistic movements, including readymades and conceptual art, have dispelled this idea. Perhaps, the most iconic example is Marcel Duchamp's artwork Fontaine (Fountain), an industrially made urinal signed R. Mutt.

Similarly, for a long time, an artwork was meant to be a object of a lasting nature. Today, this is no longer the case. The last few decades especially have seen the development of performance art as a form of visual art as well as a growing number of ephemeral artworks and installations.

The legal Term of Art

Link ISD.LAW

A quick definition of term of art:

A term of art is a word or phrase that has a specific meaning in a particular field, different from its general meaning. For example, in law, "and his heirs" and "res ipsa loquitur" have specific meanings that are different from their everyday use. Sometimes, a term of art can be a jargonistic word or phrase that is only understood by people in that field.

A more thorough explanation:

A term of art is a word or phrase that has a specific meaning in a particular field or specialty, different from its general meaning in everyday language. It can also refer to jargonistic language used within a particular group or profession.

For example, in law, the phrase "and his heirs" has a specific legal meaning that is different from its everyday meaning. Similarly, "res ipsa loquitur" is a Latin term used in legal contexts to mean "the thing speaks for itself." These terms have precise meanings within the legal profession that may not be immediately clear to someone outside of that field.

Another example of a term of art is "beta testing" in the technology industry. While the word "beta" generally refers to a second version of something, in the tech industry, it specifically refers to a stage of software development where a product is tested by a select group of users before it is released to the public.

Overall, a term of art is a specialized word or phrase that has a specific meaning within a particular field or profession, and may not be immediately understood by those outside of that field.

Sectional Title appearance rules and what it means for owners:

Link: Stratfin says the following:

Many people buy into Community Schemes for the added benefit of a harmonious appearance with little individual effort. Let's explore what the act says.

Sectional Title appearance rules can cause friction with owners of a scheme, however, the first impression from the outside of a scheme, and the overall aesthetic appeal of a property are of utmost importance. The primary capital investment for most people is their home. It is therefore important that the property be maintained such that it can retain (and grow) in value. Many sectional title schemes are made up of apartments, or townhouses. The body corporate should maintain a harmonious external appearance to ensure that the scheme remains a desirable investment for all owners and possible future property purchasers.

Private Property says the following:

04 May 2016

The sluggish economy and declining employment over the past few years have prompted an increasing number of people to start their own businesses as a way of earning an income, and the latest available statistics indicate that at least 10% of South Africa’s working adults are now self-employed.

And, of course, most of these small or micro business owners can’t afford to rent an office, shop or manufacturing space, so their enterprises are almost by definition home-based,” says Andrew Schaefer, MD of national property management company, Trafalgar.

What is my Business about:

Art which includes Paintings, Pencil Drawings, Sculptures, and design of clothing.
It not a walk in shop where a lot of people will make noise.  The amount of people will be around two to three persons per visit.

Examples of Sectional Title appearance rules:

Changes that could affect the harmonious external appearance of a scheme could include things like:

1. Painting the external walls of the scheme.
2. Furniture placed on balcony.
3. Decorations or signs placed on external walls of the scheme which also includes lose standing decorations and artworks given an artistic sign.
4. Pot plants placed on balconies and patios to be painted.
5.Washing lines placed on balconies and patios.
6. Locking and security devises and screens placed on the external parts of doors or windows.
7. Free Standing Outdoor Fireplace or braais placed on balconies and patios.

Everyday We Look At Mannequins Around Us. (Monday Day 2 - 19 days to go).

I want to design, I have an idea, and I want it to be economical, eco-friendly, and recyclable. Now I think, about what sex it must have, I like male, so I am going to focus on male (body).  The sculpture has to stand on his feet, with a head, arms, legs, and belly, just the normal casual guy. That is what I want the mannequin to look like. The boy boor next door...

I Have a Home - Pieter Lategan Shop (The Shopping Experience)

 Sunday was something different, something new, and some exciting here at my home. It can also be like a boot shop?

I got three people to come and visit me today; it was very nice to see the people coming. Some expected something different, but the people were kind and friendly.

They interact very well; this concept is very new for them. Strange enough, they did not take pictures of me or my art; I told them they could.

I made R120 out of the kitchen and Wouter bought the shirt; he liked it.

My apartment became a gallery (now open to the public every Sunday from 11:00 to 16:00), and I am the Live Performing Living Artst/Product Designer/Product Developer.

The shopping experience you get on my blog. This is what you are going to see: how people buy stuff. You have to market your products so that people will buy them; you have to tell them this is what your art looks like.

The Interview

Wouter and André were thinking of a new interesting concept. Andre feels South African artists don't have enough freedom to do their art.

 

This interview is also part of the shopping experience my friends will have in the shop.

Sunday 11:00 - 16:00

Tomorrow will be a big day for me, I am starting to sell my art. I tried this and that, and I was fed up.

I have this stoep in front of my living and bedroom which I never used.  Now I am using it to exhibit my work. I will show more pictures about this stoep I have.

Most of the work that I now have is pencil sketches.  This is eight years of working, for hours.  I really enjoyed it because it kept me busy during lockdown in Covit.  So there are a lot of memories of people who died, worried about, and I was worried about this flu which I had.

These are photos that I took today while I was getting ready for tomorrow.

The Product Designer Who Only Has to Empathize Did His Job.

 

Enrique Iglesias - Addcited (2003)

Humans, what is empathy? The question is, do our friendly robots know and understand how to work with a person who has a problem?

 

You let him speak and you only empathize.  That is how you do your job. Listen and don't say a word you only give empathy. If he is the job worth, you can't solve the problem for him, then he spends hours wasting your time and money, then you could do that job yourself.  Don't give him a smoke break. Let him run but keep him under your eye. Let him do what he wants to do.  You say nothing don't tell him:  "That is wrong, you have to do that. I am not sure if you are the right guy."  No, you don't do that to a human being. 

You leave him and listen so that he can solve his own problem.  You should already teach him how to do that; that is why you only have to listen and empathize.  If he doesn't know how to solve it, I am afraid you did not do your job. - Pieter Lategan 2024
