Great performance with many international artists at the Pretoria Art Museum the other day. Organized by Abrie Fourie, and including João Orrecchia on the line-up, it was called ‘excogitations.’ We did three sets to a fairly large audience, and I mostly just sat around and played with Jitter, for interesting text interpretations of the audience and musicians :)<\/p>\n
In other news, my JAG show was moved up to the 30th October 2004, but will now be up for 6 weeks, downstairs, in four rooms. I follow a Jo Ractliffe solo show.<\/p>\n
Speaking of Jo, I think she’s rad. I went to a Wits shindig for DIVA (Wits School of Arts’ DIvision of Visual Arts) at Dave Andrew’s place (also a very hip dude), and had a long<\/i> chat with Ms. Ractliffe. Yay, art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
