implicit art

Are you an artist, living in South Africa, looking for exposure, commissions or
competitions? Well, here are some I have found for you:
The Sasol New
Signatures Competition – fairly prestigious for young artists. Due today,
I am not entering.
The Ekurhuleni Fine Art Award – Couldn’t find it online, due today, I am indeed
entering.
The Sasol Wax
in Art Competition – Due June 17th, I am entering.
The Brett Kebble
Art Awards – Due July 28th, undecided of my entrance.
All of the above competitions culminate in shows and have cash prizes.
The last one
even has a new media category, but it currently requires you to provide
your own equipment, thus pretty much rendering "new media" to be video
art, unless you can lend a computer and projector, etc… I emailed them to see
if they’ll sponsor some equipment for geeks like us, and will post it here when
I get a response.
Speaking of new media in Africa, my readers should be aware that I am the "Joburg
editor" for Rhizome. All
that really means is that I write articles for them every now and again. However,
there hasn’t been much to write about, so I’ve only submitted two full articles
so far. Each has garnerd some international interest for the featured stories
/ Africans. Are you doing something interesting with new media in SA? Tell
me about it, and you may find yourself written about on the
largest digital art community on the planet.
