I’ve been having a bit of trouble sleeping lately, so sorry for the silence. Admittedly, am also psyched to have more than one guest blogger, and was hoping I would not have to post as much (lazy-boy) to keep my public happy (ha).<\/p>\n
Spent some time being utterly WOWed at both David Goldblatt shows recently, and will write more about them later – in the meanwhile, go check them out at the Goodman Gallery and the Johannesburg Art Gallery, if you are in the area, and you will not be disappointed.<\/p>\n
In other news, 2005’s Ars Electronica winners have been announced<\/a>, and Rhizome is looking for membership fees again (not required but appreciated). I’m sure I’ll give something, but this<\/a> makes me want to give $500 or more (Rhizome is handing over various art to first-come, first-serve hefty donors). Hell, I have trouble making a small donation as it is (tho rhizome<\/a> rocks, so if you have the money you should donate), but this was such a good idea. And forgive my gushing, but methinks the duo that makes up MTAA<\/a> is producing some of the most provocative new work around.<\/p>\n Great idea to give art, guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been having a bit of trouble sleeping lately, so sorry for the silence.
