SA Art Times April 2008 BLACK & WHITE SUPPLEMENT Supplement to The South African Art Times

Spending a day on the streets of Parkwood, Johannesburg, will reveal the way that visual art has been used in urban planning. It is a catalyst for changing the change the face of a neighborhood and has had very real economic spin-offs for a host of other businesses and industries.

Chester Court, 142 Jan Smuts Avenue, like the rest of its four immediate neighbors between Wells Avenue and Bolton Avenue, is a typical city structure- a block of flats above shop frontage on this busy Johannesburg street. It was previously home to a motley crew of traders.

For several years, a billiards shop sat alongside a tailor from another era, nestled between Warren Sieb-rits Modern and Contemporary, David Krut Projects on the one side, and Adult World on the other.

The sidewalks, when they are not littered with rubbish waiting for Pikitup’s irregular visits, are home to the local community of homeless youths, some of whom have been living here for up to 15 years.

In 2007 the building was purchased by Nazir Mussa, of Valprop. Valprop was established in 1995, to deliver affordable rental housing in the near city areas of Johannes-burg. According to their company profile, they have “without any precedent to follow” learnt “about upgrading derelict buildings. “

Before long the old tenants moved on, and in the space of a few months, each of the four shop front-ages were let.

Each was let to an art gallery.

Both Warren Siebrit’s Modern and Contemporary Art and David Krut

Projects took additional spaces, they were joined by Resolution, a new gallery focusing on digital and new media art, and most recently, the relocated Artspace gallery.

Joining Kim Sacks and the Good-man Gallery on this portion of the “strip” and further down Jan Smuts Avenue, the Everard Read gallery and David Brown Fine Art, (opened only seven months ago), these gal-leries now form an industry hub.

A short perpendicular extension down 7th Avenue Parktown North, includes Gallery Momo and Moja Modern in this diverse cross section of the industry.

Collectively they represent much of what South African art has to offer in all genres, as well as some of the most influential entities in the contemporary art business.

142 Jan Smuts Avenue is a testament to the long term vision about the capacity of the business of art to influence the business of property.

With Artspace boasting more than 200 guests to it’s opening on the 5th March 2008, the Johannesburg public have welcomed the change.

“These businesses here have always been important to the industry, ” says Teresa Lizamore, of her neighbours, ” but now that there are so many new spaces joining the older ones, it seems like we have developed a real critical mass. There is now a more cohesive offering of quality art venues for the Johannesburg audience. “

Mussa owns several buildings in Johannesburg. One of them, also further down Jan Smuts Avenue houses the recently opened Art

Etc. directed by well known ex Johannesburg Art Gallery curator, David Brodie. Mussa cites the quality of audience that this busi-ness was bringing to his building as a key reason for focusing on art galleries as a way to increase the property value at his Chester Court location.

According to Mussa, these com-mercial tenants brings up the tone of the area, thus making it more attractive to residential tenants.

“For the kind of market I want to attract to these flats, the tenants downstairs are important” says Mussa, who will soon begin a full scale renovation of the flats above.

Mussa’s vision has not been unap-preciated by other local businesses.

Sale E Pepe, a small restaurant and, the only one in the immediate

vicinity, has noted an increased trade and on evenings of openings, the crowds who spill onto the pave-ment soon move up the street for a late evening meal or cup of coffee. It is also the venue of choice for some of the galleries needing to entertain or host a meeting.

The proprietor of the local dry cleaning business, who has been trading here for several decades, believes that the new focus of the strip is a positive influence on upgrading up the strip. “ They are businesses that keep the pave-ments clean” he notes. While the recent Artfair has put Johannesburg on the map market internationally, locals audiences now have much easier access to see what all the fuss is about!

The fine art landscape in Namibia, in recent years, has been charac-terized by the demise of a number of galleries, and this has impacted significantly on the promotion of visual art as a vibrant and neces-sary component in Namibian soci-ety, as well as on the tiered gallery structures that should pertain.

Windhoek, the capital, has the National Art Gallery of Namibia as the national institution, with the Franco Namibian Cultural Centre Gallery providing exhibition space for students and young inexperi-enced artists. The Omba Gallery, situated in the Old Brewery Complex towards the southern end of town, provides very limited ex-hibition space and also commits to showing craft from all the regions. Kendzia Gallery is not mainsteam, and is not in the central business district so it misses out on the ebb and flow of the art fraternity. The recently launched Kê-rāh-dāh Gallery of Contemporary Art, an initiative by the artist John Samp-son, is a niche gallery, situated just outside of the central business district, and appeals to hardcore purists rather than to general popular taste.

The situation at the coast is quite loose in its focus on visual art. The Swakopmund Arts Association

operates out of Woerman House, but could benefit from more public support. In the centre of this coastal town there are now four (4) galleries, which cater to both the tourist sector and the serious col-lector, as a survival strategy. Die Muschel (The Mussel), The Hobby Horse, Galerie Rapmund, and the recently launched Fine Art Gallery, are all located within meters of each other along the axes of inter-est in the town.Most of the activity in the Namibian art scene takes place in Windhoek, the capital, with the National Art Gallery of Namibia being a primary venue for locals and tourists alike. It is also the only large exhibition space with a national character to which experienced and mature artists would likely gravitate. The NAGN, by its very nature, is compelled to accommodate artists from different strata of develop-ment, which renders its program of annual exhibitions extremely uneven and inconsistent as a result. Since it does not seek to position itself primarily as an institution to which established, mature and already successful artist would preferably aspire to exhibit, the accommodation of works of poor quality and standard from the lower levels of develop-ment, have gradually eroded the integrity and reputation of what, should essentially have been an institution of primary interest in the visual art field.

The NAGN cannot extricate itself from commitment to the grass roots development intentions of the art fraternity and it, therefore, falls to the private sector to contribute to alleviating a difficult condition, which brings with it problems of a structural nature, and this impacts on the general development and advancement of contemporary art in Namibia.

The fact that the University of Namibia does not offer a Fine Art

Degree curriculum, compounds an already complex set of circum-stances. Only a small number of Namibians hold degrees in Fine Art, and further study towards post-graduate qualification can only be done beyond the borders of the country. The osmotic process in the visual art field is excruciatingly slow, and the effects are already impacting significantly on the development of a Namibian visual language that resonates with cross-cultural identities within a very small population of roughly 1,6 million people.

The Namibia Arts Council was es-tablished recently to impact on the provision of material and financial resources across all disciplines, and to engage at a facilitatory level in order to propel the nascent talent and potential onto a more visible and recognizable stage for future development.

Namibia’s Fine Art sector, to all intents and purposes, is still poised at a very elementary developmen-tal level. That there is talent is not to be disputed, but the structures for development are not in place.

Over the past twelve (12) months the exhibitions at the various exhi-bition spaces have been nothing more than regular ‘showings’ with very little aesthetic merit. Artists such as Silke Berens provided one of the rare glimpses of what could be. Her work resonates strongly with that of Marlene Dumas and were it not that she is largely unknown and confined to Namibia, her work could carve out an equally desirable reputation on the international scene. Exhibitions during 2007 have set the alarm bells ringing. The standard of work has dropped dramatically. With the Trienale to be held in September 2008, one can only hope that it will herald an interesting period of real development.

The well-known Cape Town artist Lize Hugo knows Paris and its great art virtually by heart. Now she has decided to share her love and knowledge of the French capital, its treasures and lifestyle with a select group of similarly-keen art-lovers.

She has arranged a special trip to, and an intimate exploration of the City of Light’s magnificent art establishment, its museums and famous galleries to a well-scheduled itinerary. For those keen on something more than the usual tourist art offerings, she has arranged opportunities to get a look behind the scenes, meet the people and miss the unusual throngs and cues. Add a dash of her Parisian streetwise expertise and fellow travellers will pick up a couple of tips first hand.

For this first journey to explore the art of Paris, she has negotiated well-priced air tickets and accom-modation in charming hotels that

tourist not normally encounter. At least six fully-guided tours of the top museums have been arranged, while those on the trip will get enough time to get to know this great city better.

The trip is quite short, but well planned for the on-the-move art-lover. The group will leave from Cape Town on October 6, 2008, and return the 15th after seven wonderful autumn nights in Paris.

Hugo will conduct speciality tours of museums like the Louvre, D’Orsay, Rodin, De l’Orangerie, Picasso and Musée Gustave Moreau. In addition, her extended knowledge of the artistic life and historic sights of Paris will be generously shared with fellow travellers.

Since spending six months at the famous Paris artists’ residency the Cité Internationale des Arts in 1994, Hugo has frequently returned to get to know and

familiarise herself with the city’s great art galleries and museums. As everyone who has experienced it knows, Paris instils a permanent love affair. Lize Hugo balances hers with thorough knowledge and sense of adventure.

The trip includes flights from and back to Cape Town, transport between airport and hotel, accom-modation in two-star hotels in the historic and charming Marais area, transport and admission to the museums, as well as notes on the artists and art encountered. For the own-time explorations, she will provide expert advice on speciality shops, boutiques, markets, his-torical sights, parks, etc. The trip costs R22 000 and bookings must be in by April 21.

Terri Broll, a Clinical Psychologist with twenty five years of experi-ence in her field, became intensely interested in the relationship between artist and artmaking when she returned to University to com-plete a Masters degree in Fine Art. Being both a painter and a mental health professional, she became fascinated with the complex and often agonizing relationship that artists have with their work.

The interactive space between art-ist and artmaking is both complex and risky, she maintains. Like any relationship it harnesses all of the artists’ conflicts and insecurities,

especially around themselves and their creative potential. Serious artists have a deep and fearful connection with their own creativity and there are good psychological reasons for this. Creativity often confronts artists with both the potential and deficiencies of their inner selves. Making art that is intended to transform and chal-lenge the viewer makes particular kinds of psychic demands on artists, both terrifying and exultant. Often, they live a cyclical existence – sometimes fulfilled and high and other times, low and pessimistic. Because they may have difficulty negotiating this, they can become depressed, alienated and suffer interpersonal problems in marriage and family. This dilemma would also afflict performing artists and creative writers. The unfortunate thing, she has found, is that artists suffer alone with this and are often amazed when they come across other artists who feel the same way. Psychology has an enormous amount to offer working artists. In the United States, Creativity Coaching has fast been developing into an acceptable support system for people in the Arts. To her knowledge, there are few if any resources such as these

in South Africa.Terri Broll is offering workshops and individual sessions catering to the special needs of artists. This type of coaching offers guidance and techniques for resolving blocks, increasing work productiv-ity and developing confidence in the market place. It also addresses the processes involved in choosing and committing to a project, as well as the personal-ity traits that may foster or hinder professional development. These interventions can make all the difference to an artist’s productivity, growth and life satisfaction.

At her home in the Natal Midlands, which overlooks the spectacular Umgeni Valley, she hosts exhibi-tions in her gallery ‘Artworks at KwaNyoni’ the first of which, held during the Hilton Arts Festival, was a resounding success. Although she is based in Natal, she is making herself available to artists in other parts of South Africa via workshops, telephonic and online consultations

Dear Fellow-Artists and Art lovers

This might be worth passing along to everyone on your data base:

This week I was nearly the victim of a huge Internet Scam – fortunately my natural suspicion and a moment of clarity prevailed and I checked out the client on the Internet. What a can of worms this opened!

The scam is complicated, but basi-cally it goes like this:You are contacted via email by someone who sounds very legit. – email address, physical address, tel no’s and all. They want to buy art. They even present you with credit card details – possibly asking you to split the charge over two cards; one might go through or even both. The cards are obviously stolen. Well, once you’re ready to ship, they might ask you whether you could help them out (blah-blah, long and sad story) by buying some electronic equipment in your own country and ship together with the art. Well, to make a long story short – you suddenly find yourself without your art, and fraudulent credit card transactions to deal with. Sometimes they work it so cleverly, by over-paying, that you end up ‘owing’ them money.

The moral of the story: sell through reputable galleries, associations and recognized internet sites. Rather pay that commission and stay safe.For more information, check out the following:http://www.artquest.com/artquest/scammer-names.htm

Below follows extracts from the correspondence I got (from Artquest, to whom I reported the incident, and from the scammer himself):

I trust you will find this helpful.Kind regardsEric Mollerwww.southafricanartists.com/home/ericmoller

FROM ARTQUEST:

Hi Eric... The scammer is also using a free email address which is hard to track... Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. I’ve now added John Gary and the email address happyhome900@yahoo.com to our scammer name page at:http://www.artquest.com/artquest/scammer-names.htmIt’s people just like you who make all the difference in helping other’s protect themselves.Again, thank you for taking the time to email us.Kat A R T Q U E S T , I N C .PO Box 50291 • St. Louis, MO 63105 • USA Phone: 314-961-2400 • Fax: 314-963-7767

Hi Eric... I’m happy to see you are “do-ing your homework” to protect yourself... From the short email you sent

below, to me, yes it sounds like the typical scam. Most scammers also use 2 first names... just like “john gary”. Whatever credit card did go through... I’d call that credit card company and indicate you think you are being scammed... give them details and they will follow up for you... Clients just don’t do this Eric... they do not ask you to buy laptops for them... they do not ask you split payments onto 2 different cards. The client name should match the credit card, etc... You were right to go searching for more information... what they ultimately want, is the laptop. Computers they can easily sell and make money on... the charge card I’m sure is stolen... Good luck... Kat

I was fascinated to read about Peter Pharoah’s experience with Mr. Price. (Issue 2 Vol 3)

While I am hardly of the caliber of Mr. Pharoah, I have also had the experience of walking into their store in Hermanus and seeing one of my designs for sale without my knowledge or permission.

In my case, the dirty was done in such a way that the perpetrators were legally covered – I sought advice and heard that if there is a 15% change in presentation, it becomes an ethical rather than a legal issue. certainly, I could have fought it, if I had about R90million for legal fees and a whole lot of free time!

My design was originally on fabric, while the Mr. Price item was a cheaply-framed, nasty plastic-

ceramic 3D picture, meant to be hung on a kitchen wall, I suppose. the steam spirals I had painted were rendered in wire, and my hand-done calligraphic writing had been typed with a similar cal-ligraphic computer-font and printed above.

My sympathies to Mr. Pharoah - and I bet there are a whole lot of other people who had a similar ex-perience. I now tell my buyers that if the item looks like mine but does not have my name hand-signed on it, it has been born without my permission.

take heart! the universe, which looks at intent as well as action, will sort the perps out accordingly.

KUNS van sowat R1,2 miljoen is vanjaar by die 14de Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK) verkoop. Dit is die grootste bedrag tot nog toe wat op dié fees deur visuele kuns ingebring is.

’n Portret van William Kentridge deur die kunstenaar Paul Emsley, wat met die BP-toekenning (die grootste ter wêreld vir portretkuns) vereer is, het die groot hupstoot gegee deurdat dit vir ’n bedrag van R195 000 verkoop is.

Dié houtskool-op-papier-werk in die tentoonstelling Muse 08 is van die galery íart in Loopstraat, Kaap-stad, deur ’n anonieme Kapenaar

gekoop. Die tentoonstelling Kruispad met sowat 66 kunswerke van die kunstenaar Hanneke Benadé is haas uitverkoop.

Theo Kleynhans, kurator van die KKNK se visuele kunsprogram die afgelope drie jaar, meen dit is uit-sonderlik dat mense in ’n moeilike ekonomie nog die beursie ooprits om kuns te koop.

Dit is vanjaar Kleynhans se laaste jaar as kurator. In die afgelope drie jaar het hy veral skilderkuns weer prominent op die doek geplaas en het hy feeskunstenaars soos André Naudé en Judy Woodborne gelok. Vanjaar se feeskunstenaar, Lawrence Lemoana, wat die Suid-Afrikaner se liefde vir spansport maar ook die kuddementaliteit

heerlik opstuur, is op 26 die jongste feeskunstenaar tot nog toe. Hy vertrek binnekort vir drie maande na Switserland, waar hy aan slypskole gaan deelneem.

Onder Kleynhans se hand is keramiekkuns van onder andere Ann Marais, Evette Weyers, Dianne Heesom-Green en Hennie Meyer sentraal geplaas, so ook fotokuns met uitstallings van Adrienne van Eeden, Philip de Vos en Franci Cronjé. Verlede jaar het hy en die kurator Chris Diedericks Flesh, ’n sterk tentoonstelling van erotiese kuns met ’n ouder-domsperk, aangebied, asook ’n tentoonstelling van kitch (onder ku-ratorskap van Gordon Froud) wat die tonge laat klap én mense laat lag het. Werke van die ontslape kunstenaars soos Alexis Preller,

Christo Coetzee, en Sanlam se tentoonstelling van Adriaan van Zyl se werk, asook dié van die ou meesters Maggie Laubser, Gerard Sekoto en Johannes Meintjes uit die Sanlam-kunsversameling, was ook in sy termyn op die fees te sien. Kleynhans meen hy gaan nou tyd hê om weer op sy eie kuns te fokus.

Werke van hom geïnspireer deur Arthur Rimbaud se Illuminations is tans in die Rust-en-Vrede-galery in Durbanville te sien. Aanstaande maand stal hy uit in die galery artb in Bellville en op die Inniebos-fees later vanjaar.

Hy gee die leisels oor aan Johan Myburg, kunsteskrywer van Die Burger se susterskoerant Beeld.

Artspace gallery has relocated from Fairlands to a new home in Rosebank.

Established in 2001, by Teresa Lizamore, Artspace has been showing the work of new and established contemporary South African artists for seven years. Artists such as Walter Oltmann, Wayne Barker, Marco Cianfanelli, Judith Mason, Colbert Mashile, Collen Maswanganyi, Richard Smith and Chris Diedericks have been shown at this gallery, in a series of solo and group exhibitions. Artspace is also well known for its annual showcase of miniature artworks, ‘Oppitafel – a group exhibition project that has run every December for the past four years.

The gallery has gone from strength to strength in the past seven years, with several sell-out shows at its location in Fairland, as well as hosting shows at Gallery 157 in Rosebank, and at Constitution Hill. The success of Artspace is thanks in part to the boom in the art indus-try (both locally and internationally) and to the efforts of its Director, Teresa Lizamore. Lizamore has developed a sound career in the industry, serving as the curator for the Sasol art collec-tion for the past 25 years. She has also served an advisor to Rand Merchant Bank for the past 15 years, and more recently has been appointed to develop a collection for the ATKV (Afrikaanse Taal en Kultuurerenging). She started

and built the Telkom art collection and she curated the first visual arts programme of the Cultivaria Festival, in Paarl, in 2006. She acted as the art consultant for the formalisation of the first Brett Keb-ble Art Awards in 2003. Artspace takes up a new home at Shop 1, 142 Chester Court, Jan Smuts Avenue, alongside industry heavyweights such as Warren Siebrits Modern and Contemporary, and David Krut Art Projects and Gallery, and opposite the Goodman Gallery. The venue has been designed by architects Mashabane Rose, architects responsible for the Apartheid Mu-seum, Hector Pietersen Museum, as well as several significant art related spaces including University of Johannesburg’s Art Centre and Goodman Gallery Cape. “We are very excited about this wonderful step in the life of Artpsace.”Says Lizamore, “The new venue will position us in the heart of the visual art activity in Johannesburg, allowing us to contribute more eas-ily to the development of a vibrant hub. We will also now be more easily accessible to our patrons and audience, who have loyally supported the gallery for seven years.”

The industry has experienced rapid growth over recent years, and with various city developments underway such as the Gautrain, 2010, and the progress made in the CBC’s regeneration, has made this the right time to invest in our

next step.”Lizamore cites the industries growth over recent years to increased interest in local art by international markets, which has led to an increased confidence by local investors and art buyers. “South African art is still very undervalued financially, while the quality is on a par with interna-tional standards. This makes it an attractive investment prospect in the face of the rising prices of American and British art, which has dominated international mar-kets for some time. “The gallery relocation will be accompanied by a new visual identity for Artspace, a dynamic website, quarterly newsletter and an integrated marketing campaign, which will extend the reach of the gallery, and benefits offered to exhibiting artists.

The new gallery opens on the 5th March at 18h30 with a show, entitled Space Fusion, a group ex-hibition embracing the integration of space through the integration of photography, sculpture and industrial design.

Artists and exhibitors include,Sculpture: Kevin Brand, Wilma Cruise, Guy du Toit, Zach Taljaard, Bevan Thornton, Strangelove Industrial Design: Twiice Interna-tional, Liam Mooney for What-iftheworld / Design StudioPhotography: Carla Crafford , Gerda Genis, Bongiwe Mchunu, Raymond Preston, Thobeka Nd-abula, Dale Yudelman, Dudu Zitha

Artspace Jhb Gallery relocates to the heart of the ’artstrip’ in Johannesburg

Patrick Burnett The Artist Proof Studio (APS) in Johannesburg will be auctioning over 150 artworks in April in a drive to raise bursary funds for between 60 to 80 printmaking students studying at the institution. The Newtown-based studio will hold the auction on April 10. The auction will feature works by well-known artists like William Kentridge, Sam Nhlengethwa, Wim Botha, Robert Hodgins, Brett Murray and more. The auction comes at a time when the studio has been hit by a MAPPP SETA bursary funding crisis, which had provided the majority of bursary funding in

previous years. Anne Gordon, a consultant helping the studio with the auction, said any artists who had ever had anything to do with the studio had been approached and they had been “hugely supportive” of the auction in terms of donating works to go under the hammer. “The studio is one of the few places in South Africa where young South Africans can study and they (the artists) recognize that they want to protect the institution,” she said. Gordon said the auction was aim-ing to raise R360,000 to support between 60 to 80 first, second and third year students studying printmaking at APS. Auctioned

artworks would be priced starting at R500 and the artwork would be on display for preview at APS on Wednesday, 9 April from 10am to 3pm. APS, founded in 1991 by Kim Berman and Nhlanhla Xaba, is a community printmaking studio operating as a centre for artists to gather, learn and find a way to make a living through art. It runs education and outreach pro-grammes that target people mostly from disadvantaged communities.
