changing gear, drinking coffee

putting up our exhibition (SHOWMASTER, at the JAG) has kept us busy the past 2 weeks, it opened on Sunday 21 and we are back on track.
choosing the south african based artist’s videos is almost done and we are drinking blerrie good coffee while we wait and going on rekkies (video) and listening to stories about pot-holes in the streets (from all the rain and/or swimming pools) and what to do with them someone suggested we look at

to pass the time ‘till the last videos arrive in the post

the 10 artists from out-side of africa

its hot and muggy in joburg, the soccer ball on the pinnacle of the hillbrow tower has melted and is sliding slowly down the shaft. the artists from out-side of africa have already sent their videos, now begins the selection of the south african artists. whereby we mean anyone living in south africa, or africa for that matter: we don’t see things only in black and white, do we?
