Extracts From A Blind Astronomer
Share this article
Spier Wine Farm’s newest exhibition, “Extracts from the Blind Astronomer,” showcases the innovative work of Berco Wilsenach.
Building on his acclaimed Project for the Blind Astronomer, this engaging and thought-provoking exhibition delves into the realms of stars, space, and sensory perception in a unique way.
A standout feature is Wilsenach’s “Star Atlas,” a celestial map entirely rendered in Braille, which redefines how we engage with knowledge. The interactive installation, “Stone Universe,” invites visitors—particularly children—to piece together the cosmos, encouraging a hands-on exploration of the stars. This exhibition emphasises not only what we see but also what we can feel.
The exhibition will be open from October 10, 2024, to January 12, 2025, in the historic Old Wine Cellar at Spier Wine Farm. Admission is free.

On Auction: A Riverfront Country Estate Where Art, Architecture & Nature Live in Harmony
Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.
Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
