NCAD, Joburg art, media art calls

Sorry for the lack of postings lately, but as promised before the move to Dublin, that’s just how it’s gonna be (until such time as Bronwyn and Rat do the regular blogging they tentatively offered here; like most Joburgers, they’re busy with more than a handful of things, so…).

The SAarts opening, walkabout and panels went extremely well – the former attended by at least 150 people through the course of the evening. There are walkabouts every weekend (see schedule) for the next three weeks, and the show and catalogue look great, so I highly recommend your chaecking it out. Below are some photos [...]

Photo by Christo Doherty 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.

SAsrtsEmerging is featured on liquidfridge this month. Given that they asked me for an image, my guess is that it’ll be on Artthrob this month, too…. I like the unambiguous interplay of the pretense and pretence on the post – bloody Americans; why can’t they speak English? Tags: art, art and tech, bronwyn lace, [...]

Rats

Thousands of rats, believed to be the reincarnated souls of mystics, roam fearlessly through Karni Mata’s temple, even in broad daylight. Human worshippers bring the sacred [...]
