The newest contemporary art bi-annual of South Africa seems to have skipped a year (a year, not a round), but at least it’s still alive. From Africa Centre » home:
The first edition of Spier Contemporary was an unparalleled success. It attracted close to 20 000 visitors in Cape Town and Johannesburg and provided a national [...]
