DATA and the Debate in Dublin

Last night’s DATA, featuring Karl Klomp, Wolf Lieser and Jane Tynan, and part of the Darklight Festival (organized by Caroline Campbell and hosted by yours truly) was extremely rad. Ben’s photos will be up soon, and in the interim, I highly recommend doing a little googling on these three - especially interesting to me were [...]

Trespass @ Resolution Gallery, Johannesburg

Implicit Art friend Daniel Hirschmann shows in his first South African and first print-based exhibition, opening early next month at Resolution Gallery (and I’ll even get to see it while I’m in Joburg! I’m excited to visit the first/only “gallery of digital art” in South Africa, which opened only recently….). Born and raised in Joburg, [...]

is artthrob gone? (nevermind)

It’s back now. That was just weird. Wasn’t working / was forwarding for about 24 hours…
Has anyone else noticed that the leading site on contemporary South African art - and it’s nearly 15 years of archives - is now forwarding to the default (and kinda sucky) arts section of the Mail & Guardian, with no [...]

Holiday in Northern Ireland

In the comments, Laine asks, “I was wondering how the trip in Belfast was?”

Thanks for that, Laine! My wife actually planned this whole trip without my knowledge, as my birthday gift (and for our anniversary), so my not worrying and enjoying it all was part of the fun. It was a completely tourist-based holiday, and [...]

dream not of today (UPDATED)

Nice 2-part feature on Haydn Shaugnessy and Fragments on Dream Not of Today coming out, with the first installment now live. A snippet and link:
South of Cork near the very southern tip of Ireland rests the physical storefront of the Haydn Shaughnessy Gallery. The corporeal manifestation of this collection of contemporary art would be deceivingly [...]
