nathanial stern

So, I managed to land myself in the last issue of Leonardo, Leonardo – Vol. 38, Issue 3 – June 2005 – The MIT Press. It’s a short artist statement about a show I did with Marcus Neustetter last year, and a li’l image. Given their circulation, it’s a pretty big deal for an unknown [...]

the zulu lightning round

circa rhizome and their net.art news, but I wrote it: Drawing on the success of the Johannesburg Biennales of the nineties, local chemist/ composer, Dimitri Voudouris, decided that it was time to bring attention to South African electronic musicians by connecting them with other internationally-renowned talents.

24, etc

Friday was a pretty fun day of working with hands, and Polite Forcing it around the downtown area with Nerf’s crew of (mostly student) artists. It became a kind of creative class of healthy, steady “makin’ stuff,” most of which was only interesting because of the odd collaborative process by which it was made, and [...]

24-hour residency!

Christian Nerf is taking some of the crit from Art South Africa and artthrob to heart. This time, his 24-hour residency is over a shorter span of time (eight hours per day for three days), and has a lot more people in a smaller space. The big difference, tho, is that short, specific tasks are [...]

aidsafari, by Adam Levin

Adam Levin next to his new book. Went to the book launch for aidsafari last evening. It started with its author, Adam Levin, saying something like, “I’m really happy to be here tonight. No, really; you have no idea how happy I am to be here.” (Bu-dum-cha.) I’m not sure I can describe what it [...]

OMG, I had no idea that the premises gallery was so good at documenting their shows! I was there cuz I mentioned I wrote a review of Sean Slemon’s show to Marcus Neustetter, and he said to get some of the images from their site. It’s so good to see a South African small gallery [...]

Eudora Welty was Ugly

Apparently a biography of Eudora Welty that came out a few years ago “diminished” her because it accused her of turning to writing because she was homely. A friend of hers has written a new biography after getting a chance to thoroughly go through her papers in an effort to defend her friend. What’s to [...]
