implicit art

So, there was that ekapa conference in cape town this last week. I, unfortunately, didn’t make it – was overseas – but heard some interesting things about it. The ballot seemed to have a lot more non-SA Africans on it, rather than the usual suspects, but I also heard there were a few no-shows, and a whole lot of gripes – by the usuals – to be sorted out. At minimum, I’m hoping some of the cats got the necessary bitching off their chests, and can move towards a great exhibition next year – they’ve got 9 months, and 2 years worth of work to do before then. There’s some amazing potential here – great artists, hard workers, interesting topics and organizers – so we’re all holding our breath and hoping that this will fill the BKAA void (among others), and then some.
