Kagablog<\/a>, ex-guest blogger Aryan’s own space, writes about a showing of South African art<\/a> he curated for the Rotterdam Film Festival (obviously, ironically titled – that’s info for my overseas readers who don’t know Aryan, who is, ironically, also ironically titled…): <\/p>\n

post whites only digs deeper and provides an encounter with the more disturbing realities of the south african condition. identity is always a concern with artists working in a neo-colonialist context, and it is no surprise that some of the most rigorous and challenging work coming out of south africa today is directly concerned with interrogating issues of identity and self manufacture. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a lucid and long post, detailing all featured artists and their works. He’s also been added to the ‘roll and the ‘reader. We miss him over here, but are also glad to see some consistent text about his other work online! See his daily – I would not call them rants. They are too articulate to be rants.  uuuuuuum – posts<\/a>. My ‘sentimental deconstruction,’ A Song for The<\/em><\/a>, is a video made sometime mid-last-year, specifically for the festival and at Kaganof’s request. It’s a ‘slammy’ exploration of growth and listening, inspired by conversations with my father, Marshall Blonsky and Edmundo Desnoes. There’s a hot line-up on Kag’s reel, and I hope he considers re-showing it in Joburg etc sometime soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
