Will have to blog more about this later in the week (probably weekend), as it was such a commendable show of great work by some of SA’s best, and sometimes underappreciated, artists – but that’s for when my time winds down a bit. In the meanwhile, you heard it here first. Without the Kebbles, this is SA’s biggest contemporary art award, and the only one geared towards long-time\/mid-career artists, whose contributions to the community in this country matter almost as much as their art. Congratulations Jeremy – you deserve this and so much more.<\/p>\n
