Looks like printer Ricardo Fornoni (damned if I know his surname, but<\/s> a really nice guy who I used to chat to all the time at Krut<\/a>) – who does fine art inkjets for many of Joburg’s digital elites – is opening South Africa’s first gallery dedicated solely to emphasizing collaboration, experimentation and digital art: Resolution Gallery<\/a>. It’s a commercial gallery, located right in the center of Johannesburg’s gallery district (near Krut<\/a>, Siebrits<\/a>, Goodman<\/a>, etc), so couple the fact that it’s viable with some of the text on their site, and it’s a pretty exciting venture:<\/p>\n

Resolution promotes and sells digital media artifacts, from limited edition prints to interactive installations….<\/p>\n

We curate thematic exhibitions that draw together local, international, established and up-and-coming artists to collective benefit….<\/p>\n

We see our gallery as a stage, a meeting place and a laboratory.<\/p>\n

A stage<\/em> where the public has the chance to meet artists and experience digital art.
\nA meeting<\/em> place where networks are formed and potential is generated around the work we exhibit.
\nA laboratory<\/em> where we host those experiments that spark new potential in the relationships between technology and art.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Their first show, “Montage” – limited edition prints that combine digital techniques with traditional processes – opens next week and includes South African artists Roger Ballen, Dinkie Sithole, Wilma Cruise, Rob Machiri, Gavin Younge, and Spanish artist Manolo Belzunce. More info<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good luck Ricardo – it’s a great initiative and deserves support, and I hope any Joburg locals that still read this blog will head over and check it out on 13 November, 18h30. Hat tip to Christo<\/a> for letting me know about the new space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
