There seems to be a theme running with the latest art exhibitions I’m covering. Similar to what I said about Dylan Thomas Graham, Santu Mofokeng’s show, at gallery momo, similarly asks its viewers to construct their own meaning, find their own narrative. At first. One major difference between this show and Dylan’s is that Santu [...]
One of my students (Adriane Gilbert), in her first link list for portfolio.net (MCAD), put up a small design team from Chicago. thirstype’s best bit is their typeface entitled freedumb (sample above) – and all proceeds get donated to MoveOn.org. I should also note that you can get one of two versions of this typeface: [...]
Summer is coming! Here’s a pic from a portion of our ‘entertainment patio,’ complete with our (about 2/3rds) indigenous garden. Don’t you wish you were here? Tags: uncategorical
As a fan and friend of Jonah and Katherine, I’ve been blogging about their work, including umbrella.net, since I first had a blog (my first post ever was actually a link to Jonah! I’s ‘in the know,’ baby!). However, I would never claim to be as well informed, or as articluate, as Douglas Rushkoff: TheFeature [...]
Boing Boing: Bushism DVD out Bushisms the book is now Bushisms the DVD — hosted by comic uber-genius Brian Unger of The Daily Show. The DVD features Al Franken and others commenting on nucular-strength malapropisms from the presidentiary such as: # “War is a dangerous place.” # “Karyn is a West Texas girl, just like [...]
Noah Wardrip-Fruin (of Regime Change, which I just reviewed, and will be on Net.Art News soon) has some interesting things to say: Grand Text Auto » SIGGRAPH 2005: Back in the game? SIGGRAPH used to be one of the lone outlets for people to exhibit digital art, and has, as of late, gone to sh!t. [...]
So, I’ve been having major trouble with my database today, and struggled to install various fix-its on my server. I’ve no doubt that there is little interest in my problems or solutions (especially since I’m not sure what I did to fix it, and I lost the few blogs I tried to write about it [...]
Lesego Rampolokeng’s book (blackheart) is being published, and the launch is over at one of my fave spaces – gallery momo. Here’s an interesting article on him / the book. Admittedly, I’ve seen Lesego perform a time or two, and it was most certainly worth the effort; and then some. However, is it just me, [...]
Day 1. Nerf and I spent a little over 1.5 hours in the furtherfield Visitor’s Studio. We were just kinda playing around with uploading animations, flash files, sound, images, whatever. We’re planning on doing one of the famed CITY+SUBURBAN 24-hour residencies in their space (thus, VS24 – Visitor’s Studio 24HResidency), then facilitating a performance around [...]
Go see The Yes Men movie if you happen to be where it opens (New York or LA) on September 24 (also other places on October 1 – check the link.) Some people (me) would love to be there, but are in Africa instead. Here’s the trailer. I just watched it, and it looks absolutely [...]
“I’m a traditionalist,” says Abrie Fourie, behind a smirk that would tell even those who don’t know him, that he takes pleasure in making such a false statement. Abrie’s gallery, on the Tshwane arts campus in Pretoria, is fairly well known for not only contemporary, but experimental work – both in media and concept. But [...]
Fox, and the majority of the American media, continue to criticize John Kerry for “never saying anything about the issues”. And yet, he does – every single day; Fox just does not cover it. Here are some key points from a recent speech by Kerry at New York University. The full speech is here. It’s [...]

Yes, I feel cheap and you feel cheated. Not only have I not blogged on great new South African art, and only reblogged for the past few days, but I was even at the JAG (Johannesburg Art Gallery) today, but forgot to take pics, and had no time to crit the new work that was [...]

Holy crap, I almost forgot – can you believe it’s September 19th again, already? Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day! And the pirate joke of the year is (thanks to Tony Mroczkowski – actually, I’ve been telling this one for years, since he told it to me, but I’ve never blogged it, so…. ): [...]
You can tell that nathaniel’s been busy when he hasn’t looked at his RSS aggregator in, like, weeks. Speaking of, anybody know of any good south african art RSS feeds? artthrob doesn’t have one (and their ‘weekly email update’ list, which I signed up for a few months ago, seems to be dead), and the [...]
