This will be presented at the Pretoria Art Museum from 4 September to 2 November this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kleynhans works as the project coordinator at the University of the Free State\u2019s (UFS) Art Gallery. She holds a Master of Fine Art (MFA) degree from the same institute. Her solo exhibition is a speculative and satirical exploration of contemporary mysticism and self-truths in an age of information overload. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a series of imaginative installation pieces and invented devices, the exhibition introduces the concept of the \u201cAutogogue\u201d &#8211; a self-styled oracle who seeks meaning through intuition, emotion, and personal interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kleynhans revealed the same competition in which she won R100 000 in cash\u00a0last year, inspired her latest work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cThe idea for the exhibition came to me on a flight home from the Sasol New Signatures award ceremony. It felt fully formed, like it had been waiting for the right opportunity to emerge,\u201d said Kleynhans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1255\" height=\"960\" data-attachment-id=\"268319\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/sculptor-wins-art-competition-presents-own-exhibition\/mine-kleynhans2-1-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mine-Kleynhans2-1-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1255,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Min\u00e9 Kleynhans2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mine-Kleynhans2-1-1-1024x783.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1_Mine-Kleynhans2-1-1.jpg\" alt='' class=\"wp-image-268319\" style=\"width:602px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kleynhans Bacus&#8217; artwork<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the works that will be featured in the exhibition, reflects Kleynhans\u2019 fascination with how individuals respond to the speed, scale, and complexity of modern life. Her devices mimic outdated tools and mystical instruments, blurring the line between satire and sincerity in a commentary on our emotional and spiritual capacities, requiring the viewer to define their own understanding of Kleynhans\u2019 curious cosmology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition will coincide with the 2025 Sasol New Signatures exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum. It will include the final 105 artworks selected from the eight regional submissions centres across South Africa.\u00a0The winners of this year\u2019s edition of the competition will be announced on 3 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audiences can expect interactive sculptural works, many of which have been created by new processes and mediums for the artist, such as welding, steelwork, and 3D printing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Min\u00e9 Kleynhans wins the 2024 Sasol New Signatures competition, showcasing her exhibition on contemporary mysticism at Pretoria Art

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/7cb72f373b819b9dee4666c75b28f0d7","name":"Teboho Setena","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/705eca244f2c0f567be098942fe4dcc28886568f851841c1128db4cfd7e7cb64?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/705eca244f2c0f567be098942fe4dcc28886568f851841c1128db4cfd7e7cb64?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/705eca244f2c0f567be098942fe4dcc28886568f851841c1128db4cfd7e7cb64?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Teboho Setena"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/teboho-setena\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Mine-Kleynhans1-e1754566197508.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":294713,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/explore-sophie-peters-art-at-whag-masterclass-and-exhibition-details\/","url_meta":{"origin":268317,"position":0},"title":"Explore Sophie Peters&#8217; art at WHAG: Masterclass and exhibition details","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"20 November 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"A retrospective exhibition honoring Sophie Peters opens at William Humphreys Art Gallery, showcasing over 30 years of her impactful art.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Arts&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Arts","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/arts\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Artist Sophie Peters","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Masterclassposter_15055.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Masterclassposter_15055.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Masterclassposter_15055.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Masterclassposter_15055.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Masterclassposter_15055.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]}],"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"Bloem Express","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/bloem-express.co.za","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268317","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268317"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=268317"},{"taxonomy":"publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication?post=268317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
