First, good choice for art pick of the week over at the mail and guardian<\/a> – SABC’s making waves<\/i> (aka highlights from our collection, if you will) show is a testament to patronage that’s been going on for a bit longer than the Kebbles (tho not as extravagant – let’s see if their beat changes, and they try to have more of an impact in the years to come….).<\/p>\n

\"Usha<\/p>\n

And here’s some of Usha Seejarim’s work (art pick from 2 weeks ago) at gallery momo<\/a> – a beautiful exhibition of digital collage, video and installations\/objects exploring home; it’s rightfully titled in place<\/i>. I couldn’t get my camera to focus on the label, and can’t remember the name of this one, but hey, at least I’m not a paid journalist that is going to lose my job, right?<\/p>\n

This is indeed what it seems – a bicycle made of mosquito netting. Her imagery includes normally banal objects related to domesticity, the outdoors, and the city – but they take on new shape and form (especially her metal constructed shower and water wall-piece, near the entrance) in the gallery. A recommended show.<\/p>\n

\"tracey<\/p>\n

And while you are in the hood, check out the Tracey Rose exhibition at the goodman gallery<\/a> (art pick from last week). Pictured: \u2019\u00c4\u00f2Lucie\u2019\u00c4\u00f4s Fur Version 1:1:1 \u2019\u00c4\u00ec L\u2019\u00c4\u00f4annunciazione (After Fra Angelico)\u2019\u00c4\u00f4 c.1434 \u2019\u00c4\u00ec 2003. It’s a provocative show of some wonderfully interesting and clever photography (can’t decide how much is done in p-shop, and I like it that way!). Some of her more famous videos are also on display (not doin’ it for me – I think her imagery works better as stills, when leaving more to the imagination), and I should mention, for collectors, that there are lots of red stickers everywhere…. I know that she’s a hot name and all, and it’s kind of nice to go out and see why, without disappointment.<\/p>\n

A new show opened at Warren Siebrits last night, and don’t forget that the final negotiate<\/i> opens at the JAG tomorrow. Watch this space for more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
