Neon Factory: Exposure – What you can expect?

So you’ve got an outfit, grabbed your posse and ready to expose what makes you an art loving, dancing demon but what can you expect from Neon Factory’s first art party “Exposure”…? 

Doors open at 19h00.

You will be greeted by one of our hosts who'll run through the flow of the installation – so don’t worry too much about not knowing what’s going on.

Nonetheless…

The upstairs floor at ERA will be set like a glamorous dressing room where three of Cape Town’s finest artists, SonedaBe, Ivana Vodka and Mx Starr, will put their talents to the test with a live audience that can interact with the installation. So feel free to get close to the artists, ask them a question and even take a selfie with them.

In the center of the dressing room will be the artists’ choice in coat rack – opting for something live and interactive – in stands Steve the Rhino guy. Steve will be holding coats, wearing nothing but a rhino horn. His role is to please the eyes while raising funds for Rhinos. So drop some cash in his bucket and a JHB based company, Beyond Red Experiences, will match whatever funds are raised.

At the window we will have a body painting session underway. So from the street you will be able to see the Neon come to life as our artist splashes neon paints all over our models naked body.

Kingma design will have some creative leather wear on display too. 

Feel like some cake while you take this all in? Plus1Festival, a sponsor for the art installation, has had a South African first made for Exposure – a wedding dress Ken doll cake. It is complete with the traditional white overlay and the non-traditional colourful undercarriage that beckons you slip your hand underneath. Come have a slice. We wont tell anyone.

So come chat to one of their representatives to find out more about this novel idea of a Wedding Festival. Three days of Love to be held in Franschoek, February 17^th – 19^th. A festival of love for the lovers of festivals.

A few of Bekky Beukes' prints will be on display in the installation. Bekky is set to return to South Africa in early 2017 to create some beautiful murals for Cape Town and Johannesburg.

The techno Tunnel starts to warm up at 21h00 with Kanan K7, Beaumont Black and Mr Jay dropping tracks like they're hot.
