Not sure when I missed this, but it seems that South Africa’s premiere (and apparently accredited) contemporary art mag (um, only printed contemporary art mag, really, tho there are more and more “lifestyle” mags that do some art and design) now has most of its issues and articles online – including the ability to comment! – plus a blog-ish feed of announcements, a few articles and exhibition openings. The RSS seems a bit publish-happy, and I’ve only just added it to my reader (so am not sure if all the new articles from the actual mag go there as they’re finished, or if they are just announced all at once), but it’s a pretty great resource, and you can bet I’ll be starting to read and link online beginning with the next ish. It’s GREAT that there is another serious, mostly online publication for contemporary SA art (the other being artthrob<\/a>), and it’s very smart of them do to this; my guess is it’ll increase international interest from advertisers, as well as readership, and more and more artists will be linking to their articles, helping sales, ads, the rest of it (not to mention the fact that their galleries represent many of the hot names in the mag’s pages, just in case you didn’t know). And although I don’t know the peops over there very well, I’d be willing to guess they had a bit of wanting to help prop up SA art in general as part of the plan. Rock on you guys.<\/p>\n
