So…..

Nathaniel Stern walked into DKW in March, about five months ago, and things haven’t quite been the same for us. Bursting with energy and excited at the new-found potential of the printmaking medium, he set to work on a grande project. Working towards an exhibition at Art on Paper for January of next year and on a print portfolio to be released prior to the exhibition, we have set to creating about 14 new works that vary in technique and size. We are consistently working on several images at once, with myself and two assistants – Niall and Lungi, plus Nathaniel, all working on different elements of each image at any one time.

The whole project started with a computer scanner. Nathaniel has been working on a new digital movement….

Read on (plus more pix!)…. Newly updated Compressionism video will also be online soon….

promised land: ralph borland @ blank projects in cape town

His blurb:

‘Promised land’ is a body of work that plays on some of the ‘faultlines’ running through contemporary South Africa - disparities in wealth, contests of ownership over symbols and cultural objects, the threat to stability offered by the dispossessed, new struggles with their conflicted relationship to the old Struggle. Was it land that was promised; is this the land that was promised? The exhibition combines sampled and manipulated mass-produced objects with fictional artefacts to produce a wry commentary on South Africa now.
