Sorry for the lack of posting lately, everybody. As promised a few weeks ago, things are crazy with the big move, and finishing up all the things I need do here in Joburg. It looks like, however, I may have a couple of takers for my blog, which means Joburg coverage can carry on while I’m overseas. We’ll see if that pans out.<\/p>\n

As promised, a bit more on Sasol Wax. A beautifully subtle and personal piece by Jeremy Wafer, which used polished floors, a beehive, prints and polar coordinates to explores his home-places through his lifetime. At left is gerhard marx showing us where Jeremy polished the floors in the shape of the house he grew up in, just in front of a video of a beehive two houses down from his current residence.<\/p>\n

\"diane<\/a>

Another favorite of the exhibition was Diane Victor’s smoke drawings, and many thought she should have taken the prize – such is life. To me, one of the most important aspects of the show – besides appreciating art and artists in a way only South African mining criminals have before – was its nod to those who have played a role socially, as teachers, mentors, and facilitators, as well as producers. Kim Berman, Andrew Tshabangu, and Kagiso Pat Mautloa were the other finalists, and all certainly fit into that spectrum just as much as Diane and Jeremy.<\/p>\n

\"zhane<\/a>

Also worth checking out is Joburger (now living with her husband in Belgium) Zhane Warren’s exhibition at Art on Paper. I’m trading one of my Compressionist works for the above lithograph, actually ;)<\/p>\n

Update: oops, almost forgot to metnion Dorothee Kreutzfeldt @ Parking Gallery – both hilarious, and a total m9ndf@ck. I’m writing a short review on that one for Art South Africa magazine, so you’ll have to wait on it a bit…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
