InBox: Kazoo- it’s a live art thing: Saturday the 2nd of December
From my limited experience, there is at least one crowd around here, who
can be relied upon to really keep pushing the boundaries and who will, given half a chance
do their very best to drag Jo’burg – even or especially if kicking and
screaming – into contemporary art.
The Premises Gallery at The Johannesburg Civic Theatre

Please check out netVerse at http://netverse.andresc.net for me.
It is like fridge-door-magnet poetry-games, but with thousands of words and many more participants than could ever fit into a domestic kitchen.
Ubuhle Buyeza: The beauty is coming… (to World Urban Forum)
Ubuhle Buyeza: The beauty is coming… it is beautiful indeed when ‘interventions’ extend in scope beyond information gathering and evolves into collaborative co-creation that makes even just a bit of the world a better place. This is why I feel particularly fond of this poster which I have very quickly put together for Maurice who is presenting the Growing up in Cities project in South Africa at WUF (World Urban Forum) in Vancouver this week.
MOCOLOCO : Fab Contemporary Modern Design
A big thank you to Pierre over at Ph.Design (hmm, now there’s an site interface I enjoyed building way back when – can’t wait to do an upgrade of it… P, just say when!) for pointing me at mocoloco – a rather fabulous design hyperlog (decided I don’t like the term ‘blog’after-all :).

For stimulating proof of this, have a sqwiz through the many wonderful doodads and designer designs in the ‘Misc’ category (like these not so dumb dumbells
(which I am sure Continue reading

What is art? (in What is Philosophy?)
Reading group on What is Philosophy?
re nonlinearity: “…Pierre Huyghe strikes a universal chord when he explains that he carves up the narratives in his video installations to escape overly efficient, and therefore limiting, storytelling. Fragmentation enables him to access what he calls the “exponential present,”… as an object to think with, “Broken Screen” is a stirring example of what I call visual intellectuality. The book ends with…”
It’s Art Magazine ‘Interview’
The latest issue of IT’s Art Magazine, #0004 is available online free for view-only pdf and and $3.50 for the printable version. It includes interviews with and work by Eric Scala, Fred Bastide, Marc Simonneti, Ziv Qual, Isabelle Hubert Olivier, Philippe Batini and yours truly, André SC.
Availble in French and reasonable English.
So, in view of shameless self promotion herewith an excerpt from the editorial column as well as from the text of my interview. For all the fabulous images in it is more than worth the download.
…artists with different inspiration and various working methods, but these two concepts merge: a vision and an inventive mind continuously in search of new horizons. This research can give birth to more than new artwork but can also suggest a new way to describe the world and introduce us to it.
The most blatant example in this issue is certainly André SC’s proposition. This South African artist whom in one way follows the tracks drawn by Nathaniel Stern and in another, gives us his own vision of “Compressionism”. This art is in equilibrium somewhere between the real world and the virtual one using technology to simultaneously promote questions and offer answers to the audience…
