Frederick Kannemeyer
Frederick Kannemeyer is a South African-trained architect who has expanded his practice into collage and illustrative art and web design. He explores the methods and outcomes of archiving, curation, mapping and collecting through a collaborative approach. With a successful history working with sociologists and anthropologists, his work is centred around the liberatory politics of queerness, digital space, anti-colonialism, storytelling and abolition. While often employed as a web designer he works between different media including collage, photography, illustration and coding, often breaking the rules of his chosen medium and celebrating the glitches.
Frederick holds an MTech in Architecture from the Graduate School of Architecture, University of Johannesburg (2019) and a Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree from the University of Cape Town (2016). During his studies, he challenged, subverted and expanded his definition of what architecture and space-making can be and continues to explore this in his work. He currently lives and works in London.
