What a great trip.
I think that Virginia MacKenny summed it up best when she said that it was not just about the prolific artists and curators who were all in the same space strutting their stuff – it was moreover, in the spaces between. How wonderful to put names, faces and personalites to work I have been admiring; even better, to spend time learning about artist processes and appreciate art I didn’t, or mightn’t have, before. And dude, are you really a south african artist before you get massively drunk with Andrew Lamprecht? I think not. (no. more. tequila….).
One highlight I want to mention now is Ralph Borland and his work – great artist, cool guy, excellent DJ, and a very giving teacher. He’ll be coming to joburg later this week to give a new version of his famed “physical computing workshop”. Keep an eye on atjoburg to learn how to sign up – it’s gonna be H-O-double-T….
Anyhow, I’m gonna relax a bit this evening (so nice to see my wife! very long week without her, even tho the festival was a great experience…), but have some great photos and stories to share, and you can bet I will do tidbits of just that as the time finds its way into my schedule, and I have the urge to blog away.
Nice to be home in joburg, tho.
