\"Beeldsprak:
Beeldsprak: Beeld "newspaper curated" (by Gordon Froud) exhibition at the University of Johannesburg gallery.<\/sup><\/p>\n

I hit the University of Johannesburg Gallery<\/a> last night – a beautiful new space with an interesting outside – for the Gordon Froud<\/a> curated Beeldspraak<\/em><\/a>. The exhibition is a culmination of 52 weeks worth of a "newspaper exhibition." Gordon proposed (first somewhere else, which rejected him – but he did not say where) to have 52 different artists each contribute one work over the course of a year, and every Tuesday it would be printed in the paper and catalyze discussion. It led to a beautifully diverse exhibition that really does capture the vibes of contemporary South African art, albeit in a 2D-only space. The most wonderful part – aside from the original works being donated towards a good cause and auctioned off over the next few weeks – is that each contributing artist receives one set of all 52 limited edition prints, now selling for R6000.<\/p>\n

I’m glad I played a part! See it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
