belated re-blog about upcoming Top Billing feature:
Artists, celebrities, fashionistas, various creative types and practically anyone swarmed to The pre-Crapalite opening at David Krut Projects this past weekend. Artists Johan Engels and Robert Whitehead have transformed the space into their own pre-Crapalite universe that includes various flamboyant installations; their combined Tele-Pathetic Conception; Engels’ extraordinary Word of Mouth cover designs; Whitehead’s enigmatic monotypes and range of limited edition prints and art works. The enormous crowd that gathered at David Krut Projects on Saturday appeared to be overwhelmed not only by the art works but also by the theatrical antics that were arranged by the pre-Crapalite duo. Such antics included “Daphne de la Rey” perched on a strawberry-decorated pedestal with an outfit to match at the entrance to the space; opening presentations by both Grethe Fox and The Right Honourable Pamela, The Lady Harlech and custom-made hors d’œuvre designed by the pre-Crapalites themselves.
For those that missed the event or are fascinated by this creative duo, The pre-Crapalites will feature on Top Billing Thursday the 28th of June at 19:30 on SABC 3

nathaniel, you would have enjoyed the event, but expanding your printmaking skills at the wonderful masreel centre is a good excuse for not flying in to johannesburg for the exhibition. Tomorow is the last day and there will be the usual raucous walk-about by the new art stars on the sa arts horizon
good luck with it, david – loking forward to some feedback on the prints i made here from you…
