JHB626GP, Ismail Farouk’s solo exhibition of a video produced for the Venice architectural biennale and photographs shot of a burning house in Ellis Park, was an amazing testament to the urbane provocations alive and well in downtown johannesburg. Between a great SAarts article by Rat Western [...]

Amsterdam-based multi-disciplinary artist, Catherine Henegan, is the director of The Shooting Gallery, the controversial performance/media art work currently showing at The Market Theatre. Aided by a computer and a projection screen, Catherine is also a performer [...]

Made it to the Roles/Robes opening at Fried in P-town a few nights ago, and it was a strong show - I can’t believe that place has been around for an entire year now, and it is really going strong (huge turn out, for a starving audience of Cont-Art lovers up [...]
Via one of the list-servs I’m on, Eyebeam (online home of the reblog, offline a great digital art gallery with an exceptional atelier program) is looking for fellows, and it’s a fantastic deal. Space, equipment, critique, exhibitions, a more than live-able wage and health care in New York City for artists working with technology. Altho [...]
