OK, so The End of that workshop I gave at Stellenbosh went pretty well – I think there are more than a handful of students who will likely carry on and try to produce interactive art. The last two days were spent consulting on work individually, mostly as a crit, but sometimes on how to be cool (Ralph<\/a> did most of the latter meetings).<\/p>\n

But then I had almost two days of leisure! I think the highlight was probably an early morning trek up the mountain, with Mikhael Subotzky<\/a> and his mother, Eve.<\/p>\n

I should note at this point that she is much cooler than he is. <\/p>\n

Really, the two are amazingly warm and generous people. And tough – my legs feel like spaghetti after all that huffin’ and puffin’;  they had to wait for me to catch up a few times. For those of you who don’t know Mikhael’s work, he’s the hot, young, new photography star of SA, recently paired with the Goodman, and I highly recommend taking a look. It’s not just about the images, but their stories.<\/p>\n

I saw Virginia MacKenny and Carol Anne Gainer for coffee (also very cool, and am hoping to have the latter do a feature on the former for SAartsEmerging<\/a> in the coming months), and did big walks through SANG, Long St and surrounds with Christian Nerf.<\/p>\n

Had to do Royale again, hit up Wim Botha’s show, spent time in Clarke’s books, chilled in Nerf’s studio, and finally headed home to hang a small exhibition in Pretoria (still working on that). Great to be back in Jozi, but wish I had more of a break – too too too much to do!<\/p>\n

Oh, and not related at all, check out Stephen Colbert at the White House<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
