kebble awards going ahead

The whole nation has pretty much had very mixed views of his life actions, but I think in general, we’ve been opting to focus on the wonders he worked rather than some of his more questionable business practices. [...]

Brett Kebble murdered

Controversial mining mogul and arts patron, Brett Kebble, was shot and killed last night in Melrose. He was in his car, which was not taken (nor was anything else), so police think it may have been a “hit.” No suspects yet, but it is under investigation. Altho, like most people, I’ve always had mixed feelings [...]

Scoring Gold

I first visited David Goldblatt’Äôs most recent works, shown at the Goodman Gallery, a few weeks ago. Being a photographer myself, I have known his works since I can remember. He started off in the fifties as being a documentary photographer but his work was soon appropriated by the fine art community as ’Äòmore than [...]

(so tired and) I want my MTAA

I’ve been having a bit of trouble sleeping lately, so sorry for the silence. Admittedly, am also psyched to have more than one guest blogger, and was hoping I would not have to post as much (lazy-boy) to keep my public happy (ha). Spent some time being utterly WOWed at both David Goldblatt shows recently, [...]

sculptures at siebrits

I didn’t get a catalogue this time, so am admittedly at a bit of a loss about the work (I’m not exactly known for being an expert in African sculpture). There’s a little bit about it on the Siebrits site. Still, the stuff is beautiful; is it just me, or is more and more of [...]

PublishAmerica and Advances in Printing

So I have always wanted to be a writer. When I say always, we’re talking Grade School here. I’m not screwing around. Recently I learned about PublishAmerica, because a fellow participant in the 3-Day Novel Contest had said she’d published her book product of the previous year’s contest through them. Well, well, well, I thought. [...]
