Hello world.
And welcome to another exciting year with nathaniel and the non-aggressive – whatever the f@ck that means.
Did everybody out in webland have a good holiday? Yeh, I did ok. Me and my better 2/3rds headed down to Cape Town for a few days to see some special peops, then drove up the garden route with my folks (visiting from NYC). This here is a picture of Bonnie – one clever little Ossie (not to be confused with Aussie) that we met while over in Oudtshoorn:
I probably ate her cousin for dinner that night, and she tasted real good. Mmmmmmmmm, ostrich steak….
So there are new issues of Art SA and Itch out, and my guess is that artthrob will see some action tomorrow or next Friday. As usual, worth checking out – especially the article on SA Video Art by James Sey, and the features on Penny Siopis and Kathryn Smith. I’d like to say I went to see lots of interesting work while on holiday, but it seems contemporary art takes a holiday along with everyone else (and sometimes longer, neh?).
Anyhow, you can bet your butt I’ll be back on the scene as soon as the galleries start opening up again, and writing some ranty, praisey – and every now and again, slightly critical and interesting – b_llsh!t right here on this very page. You can’t wait, can you? Can you?
I’m nearly rearin’ to go on this side, so as I try to keep up with myself, feel free to send me notes from the pharcyde….
