OK, so I generally try not to write about the things other bloggers are writing about, unless it’s a list re-blog multi-recap “the world today” type thinger, rather than the standard collective conscious “I have not written about X yet, and I have to” stuff (but wait, dude, have you seen all the sh!t on [...]
Just got back from seeing this guy and his band over here. Really hot, looping experimental bass with jazz vocals, and experimental/jazz/big band sax, trombone, drums, etc. Check them out if and when you can. Tags: music, south african art
Am I a jerk if I say that up until now, Frances Goodman has not impressed me that much? This is not meant as a backhanded compliment on any level – quite the contrary. I usually say nice things just cuz I have BLOGGING POWER, so saying that her current show at the goodman (no [...]

If my blog looks weird, it’s cuz I’m developing a brand new theme, just for all y’all wordpress fans out there. Can you say, “procrastination”? I can. Coming soon! Tags: art and tech, me, pop culture, technology, uncategorical, nathaniel stern
ephraim ngatane’s snow on location Sjoe. Between these, Dumile Feni at JAG, and the current show at Siebrits (titled and pictured), Joburgers and South Africans at large are being inundated with amazing, contemporary work by South Africans of color, as of late. It’s great. Perhaps it’s a way to (finally) speak back to some critics [...]
minor bug fix and posts per cat – still at main download link
OK. I have a lot of work to do. So I am naturally surfing. Admittedly, I could also blog about the great shows currently up at the Goodman Gallery and Warren Siebrits, but I thought, well, I’ll get to those eventually. Probably this weekend. Instead, I’m gonna blog about blogs. Here are a couple of [...]
I really am a text geek. I mean, I know I’m supposed to be a visual artist and all, but it makes such a huge difference to talk about art; to hear others talk about what it does for them; to hear artists say what they were trying to evoke or explore; hell, most of [...]
Vote for me here OK, so, admittedly, I didn’t even know these existed; I also find it ironic that today, of all days, I decided to post stuff about American politics. However, it seems that I, or rather this blog, have been nominated in two of 13 categories for the south african blog awards! How [...]

cobus van bosch’s trench A really great start to the new year, Teresa Lizamore’s artspace gallery, out in Cresta (outskirts beyond Jozi) shows three relatively established artists: cobus van bosch, jp meyer and varenka paschke. Cobus had to be my favorite of the bunch, depicting battle sites of old in varnished cattle bone. Above is [...]

Weird when you don’t post for a while cuz you are too busy, but then that seems to be when lots of people decide to finally check out your blog, and email you about your site. Hopefully, the 548 posts leading up to this one are enough to keep newbies busy, and my “die hard [...]

I was very impressed with the 4th year show of the Tshwane fine arts students yesterday, which took place across two galleries (Gordart and Franchise), and housed what seemed like over 75 works by about 20 artists. As a sample, I’d like to talk about Donna Kukama’s work – we had a long chat about [...]
Am doing some research for a lecture I have to give on Tuesday about Experimental Film theory and aesthetics in 12 Monkeys, and I found this interesting article: Time Travel . So, he lost me on the last two paragraphs, but the rest is really interesting. It’s a cool adaptation of the (in terms I [...]
OK, so where mark is a coder who dabbles in design, I’m an artist (and sometimes designer) who dabbles in code. We actually agree on most things in our review, but might be finding them in different ways. First off, the interface: I love the new dashboard. It’s nice to have stats and news right [...]
