New York Galleries

Hi there This blog is primarily going to track my visits and experiences within the New York Art scene. I have just begun a Masters degree in fine art at Pratt Institute, and given that I am new here I am making an effort of spending at least one or half a day each week, [...]

Dorian Heatlie remembered

Dorian Heatlie – a non-linear editing, film and digital arts trainer at Wits School of the Arts, Univeristy of the Witwatersrand – was hit and run on his Vespa about 3 weeks ago, and died in the Millpark Clinic 10 days later. It was violent and unfair to him, his (very closely knit) family, his [...]

Richard Smith at Con Hill

Pardon me for gushing, but Richard Smith’Äôs exhibition that opened at Constitution Hill Wednesday night, was a highlight for me. Andre Naude and I both walked away with the same word: inspiring, to say the least! Spanning over three of the rooms in the prison, the historical loadedness of the space also complemented the show’Äôs [...]

america. the beautiful

Remember when I used to post a ridiculous amount of links to stories, quotes and movements in American politics? I mean, Carine Zaayman even mentioned the blog, and its left leanings, on artthrob. Well, that was nearly three years ago (the blog will be 3 years old in February!), and I discovered so many sites [...]

Ruan Hoffmann and Theresa-Anne Mackintosh

Ruan Hoffmann & Theresa-Anne Mackintosh at the Franchise Gallery, 44 Stanley, Johannesburg This is a tight show and a real lesson in creating an enveloping space for your work – I’ve never seen Franchise like this before…. The two creators have quirky styles and work hard to “brand” their art in ways absolutely necessary in [...]

Compressionism revisited

left: tree, 750 x 2000 mm, Sept. 2005 Compressionism is an ironic title for a series of works that use simple technologies to "capture and compress" subjects, then "edits and exhibits" them to explore different ways of looking. In the near future, I’ll play with video-based and sonic Compressionist studies; for now, I’ve been performing [...]

The Official BB Mitten Project

To exactly quote Bridget Baker’s artist statement: The Official BB Mittens Project is the third in the series of ’ÄúOfficial BB Projects’Äù, declarations on life according to ’ÄúOfficial BB’Äù wisdom. In all these projects Bridget actively cajoles her audience to take part beyond their own reason, where personal understanding is often consolidated through spontaneous action. [...]

art | south africa is powerless

This post is probably related to this other post about the lack of reviews of emerging artists in joburg… I can’t decide whether I find it amusing or enraging that in art | south africa’s big issue on “power and influence,” they’ve almost completely written themselves out. To quote Sean O’Toole’s (the editor’s) brief introduction: [...]
