The newest contemporary art bi-annual of South Africa seems to have skipped a year (a year, not a round), but at least it’s still alive. From Africa Centre \u00c2\u00bb home<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The first edition of Spier Contemporary was an unparalleled success. It attracted close to 20 000 visitors in Cape Town and Johannesburg and provided a national and international platform for the participating artists, with many artists commenting on the positive impact that the event has had on their careers.<\/p>\n

The Africa Centre is planning the second edition of Spier Contemporary which is due to run in 2010. The submission date for the next competition will be announced in March 2009.<\/p>\n
