\"Upgrade!<\/a>As you can see, our first Upgrade! here in Johannesburg was a huge success! Nice big attendance for a Soiree (upgraded), and there was general excitement around being plugged in to a global network of artists and curators, about MTAA<\/a> and turbulence.org<\/a>‘s upcoming virtual and physical visitations to our space, respectively.<\/p>\n

Hirsch mostly talked about his experiences at Benetton’s creative industry venture, Fabrica<\/a>. It was interesting to hear about the importance of networking, proposal-writing, quality images and representation of not-yet-formed projects… It was comforting to know that creative industry, like the art world, is also largely based on who you know and how you know them.<\/p>\n

Of course, Daniel also spoke about his work in Nice, his upcoming show at the Pompidou<\/a>, and some of the projects he proposed that may one day yet get produced. Mostly, his energy, can-do attitude, excitable charm and technical know-how made the day – a personality that kept us all on our toes….<\/p>\n
