Muholi is known for her portraits of confronting black South African lesbians, which Arts and Culture Minister Lulu Xingwana infamously called &#8220;immoral&#8221; after walking out of one of her exhibitions. </p>
<p>According to an article in <em>Diva Magazine</em>, the media has largely ignored the theft of her work, despite beliefs that the robbery may have specifically targeted the works:</p>
<blockquote><p>An award winning photographer who has devoted her working life to documenting the lives of black lesbians has had five years worth of her work stolen.</p>
<p>Zanele Muholi, described by the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa as &#8220;one of the country&#8217;s foremost artists&#8221;, had more than 20 external hard drives stolen from her flat in Vredehoek, Cape Town on April 20.</p>
<p>The hard drives contain stills and video footage, including photos from the funerals of victims of homophobic hate crimes. It is thought that the burglars were targeting Muholi&#8217;s work, as little else was taken from her flat, and back up hard drives were also taken.</p></blockquote>

<p>Miranda Leighfield from David Krut Projects New York documented the project:</p>
<blockquote><p>Diane Victor is in New York working with printer Johee Kim at the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop on a small series of drypoints with chine colle.</p>
<p>Miranda Leighfield, of David Krut Projects New York, is observing the process and has supplied the images below. As she has written, “The image (on the first drypoint plate) is of a black woman with a baby on her back, struggling to carry a large and restless crocodile. She is joined by a stout and balding white man who points her towards a non-existent destination, encouraging her to continue her struggle with a promise of a reward at the ‘end’.</p></blockquote>

<p><em>More on Reap and Sow:</em></p>
<blockquote><p>David Krut Projects is pleased to present Reap and Sow, Diane Victor’s second solo show with the gallery. The exhibition consists of ash and smoke drawings on paper and glass, along with new editions made in collaboration with various print workshops during her recent two-month residency in New York City. These prints expand on Victor’s recent series of drawings, “The Burdens,” which depict figures literally weighed down by masses of objects and solidified words as metaphors for societal limitations and political deception.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>The printers of David Krut Print Workshop, in a collaboration with William Kentridge’s studio team, have been carving and printing linos to create a fascinating new body of work. The linocuts began as a series of small ink drawings on old dictionary pages by William Kentridge, executed using broad and thin paintbrushes. As a result, the images are made up of both solid and very fine lines, typical of the unconstrained virtuoso mark for which Kentridge has become known.

<blockquote><p>There are few painters who manage to formulate such ghostly impressions out of mundane images of the everyday world as Deborah Poynton. The Capetonian artist’s combination of colossal canvases and hyperrealistic detail lends eerie qualities to her subjects. </p>
<p>In what is her first show at the Stevenson gallery in Joburg, her famously enormous nudes are paired with a series of un-peopled landscapes and shrubberies in exhibition.</p>
<p>There, in the echoprone art caven, the work sets something ghostly loose to stalk the gallery space, felt yet not completely actualised. While enthralled in Poynton’s painterly apparitions, one can’t help but feel like novelist Robert Payne observed in The Splendor of Greece. </p>

<p>Só sê Adrian Kohler, medestigter van die <a href="http://www.handspringpuppet.co.za/" target="_blank">Handspring Puppet Company</a>, in &#8216;n dokumentêr oor hul wêreldberoemde perdpoppe in die teaterstuk <em><a href="http://davidkrut.bookslive.co.za/blog/2011/06/13/handspring-puppet-companys-war-horse-wins-5-tony-awards-including-best-play/" target="_blank">War Horse</a></em>. </p>
<p>Goeie dinge het beslis uit Kohler en sy vennoot en lewensmaat, Basil Jones, se palms ontspring, want <em>War Horse</em> was nie hul enigste sukses nie. Daar was die renoster van die produksie <em>Woyzeck on the Highveld</em>, die hiëna van <em>Faustus in Africa</em>, en mees onlangs die ou mans van <em>Or You Could Kiss Me</em>. </p>
<p>&#8216;n Retrospektiewe uitstalling van hul werk was vanjaar by die <a href="http://www.kknk.co.za/" target="_blank">Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees</a> te sien. Die boek <i><a href="http://www.davidkrutpublishing.com/8360/hpc" target="_blank">Handspring Puppet Company</a></i> bied nog meer informasie oor hul werk. Danie Marais het hul &#8220;droomfabriek&#8221; in Muizenberg besoek om die verhaal van hierdie eiesoortige teatergeselskap te hoor: </p>
<blockquote><p>Dit gaan oor verlange. Verlange het Geppetto genoop om Pinocchio te maak, en verlange het asem in die houtkabouter geblaas nog lank voordat hy mens geword het.</p>
<p>Poppe en marionette strewe inherent daarna om die lewe uit te beeld en te beliggaam, skryf die medestigter en -direkteur van die Handspring Puppet Company, Basil Jones, in sy essay “Puppetry and Author­ship”.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><a href="http://www.davidkrutprojectscapetown.com/exhibitions2/landscape-re-orientation-28-april-30-june-2012/"><img src="http://www.davidkrutprojectscapetown.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/WK-Big-Tree.jpg" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>A brand new group exhibition, entitled <i>Landscape Re-Orientation</i>, opens at David Krut Projects Cape Town on 28 April. The exhibition features, among other prominent artists, William Kentridge, Willem Boshoff, Mary Wafer and Colbert Mashile and showcases works influenced by twentieth century South African landscape painting. </p>
<p>The show&#8217;s centre piece is a linocut of thorn trees from Kentridge&#8217;s <em>Universal Archive</em> series, simply titled <em>Big Tree</em>. According to Jacqueline Nurse, this image is reminiscent of the trees of JH Pierneef&#8217;s iconic paintings and is an acknowledgment of his enormous contribution to the genre. </p>
<p>The exhibition continues until 30 June 2012 at the Montebello Design Centre.</p>
<blockquote><p>Ask a South African about landscape painting, and it is likely that one of the first images that will come to mind is of trees somewhere on the highveld, with typical imposing cloud formation, organised within the composition according to a modernist, geometric sensibility. The image will be reminiscent of the work of J. H. Pierneef. Although his earlier work contained a more sentimental outlook on the South African landscape, paintings from the 1940s onwards indicate a wholesale embrace of the Nationalist consciousness-building project. Pierneef’s belief that ‘true national art must be born out of your own environment and out of your own soil’[2], which he expressed through his idealised, ordered and de-humanised landscape paintings, resulted in his work being seen as ‘creating and reinforcing a powerful Afrikaner identification with the land, and the consequent inalienable right to its ownership.’[3] In recent years, this has led to contemporary artists specifically and subversively targeting Pierneef in works that interrogate modes of representation of the South African landscape. This ferocious reaction, as Michael Godby has pointed out, is provoked because ‘no other genre is so ideologically loaded.’[4] Despite this (or perhaps his cult status is aided by it) Pierneef remains an iconic figure of South African landscape painting of the twentieth century.</p></blockquote>

<p>On 4 April 2012, Stevenson will launch <em>Trade Routes Over Time</em>, the first installment in its Trade Routes Project. <em>Trade Routes Over Time</em>, which shows at the group&#8217;s Cape Town gallery until 12 May, features the work of Diller + Scofidio, Stan Douglas, Olafur Eliasson, Ângela Ferreira, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Pierre Huyghe, Isaac Julien, Wangechi Mutu, Odili Odita, Jo Ractliffe and Penny Siopis: </p>
<blockquote><p>Stevenson is pleased to present Trade Routes Over Time, the first installment of the gallery&#8217;s Trade Routes Project, marking the 15th anniversary of the second &#8211; and last &#8211; Johannesburg Biennale.</p>
<p>The biennale organised by Okwui Enwezor in 1997 with the title Trade Routes: History and Geography was a pivotal moment in the presentation of contemporary art in South Africa. The local response was marked (and marred) by tension between the local and the international, and, in essential ways, the immensity of the achievement of the biennale team went unacknowledged. Combined with a fraught relationship to its principal funder, the City of Johannesburg, these tensions illustrated an event that was, or so it appeared, out of sync with its context.</p>
<p>At the time, the second Johannesburg Biennale was at the cusp of an explosion of biennales in likely and unlikely places. In a Frieze review of the exhibition, Christian Haye presaged this development: &#8216;The effect of having so many shows will inevitably produce a discourse of its own &#8230; The next couple of years will see Biennales in Berlin, China and a theatre near you.&#8217; The ubiquity of biennales is now a given, and to critique it has become platitudinous, but in 1997 (and before in 1995) the notion of a biennale in Johannesburg was still a radical one.</p></blockquote>

<p>A new solo exhibition by Deborah Poynton opens 4 April 2012 at the Stevenson in Johannesburg. In <em>Land of Cockaigne</em>, which takes its name from the medieval mythical land of plenty, Poynton examines painting as belonging to a &#8220;land of never-realised fulfillment&#8221;. The exhibition continues until 18 May 2012.</p>
<blockquote><p>Stevenson is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Deborah Poynton, her first at the gallery&#8217;s space in Johannesburg.</p>
<p>The Land of Cockaigne was the medieval idea of a paradise of plenty. For Poynton, the act of painting is an attempt to enter this fantastical world &#8211; but in an unexpected way. As the artist writes:</p>
<p>In the Land of Cockaigne every wish was granted. I have used this title not because I wanted to illustrate paradise, but because painting itself is that land of never-realised fulfillment. Every painting I do comes from the same need to inhabit this land, to create a sense of engulfment, of complete enclosure, to blind and deafen and numb myself through the senses in order to find some peace. I persist with the image until no uncertainty remains within it, and I am thus provided with the illusion of certainty.</p>
<ul>
<li><b><a href="http://www.stevenson.info/exhibitions/poynton/index2012.html">Complete press release: Stevenson</a></b></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>In an essay titled &#8220;The Faustian Pact&#8221;, released to accompany the exhibition, Poynton describes the image of &#8220;the sea in turmoil&#8221; with which <em>Land of Cockaigne</em> began:</p>
<blockquote><p>I would like to talk first about how the exhibition Land of Cockaigne came into being. My initial impulse was a vision of the sea in turmoil. I wanted to do several paintings of the sea close up, without a horizon, to create the experience of being engulfed. I remembered the children&#8217;s bible I was given at the age of five, which contained a painted image spread across a double page of Moses parting the waters. Two huge masses of water reared up on either side of a tiny group of people toiling through a narrow passage that ended in darkness. I was so scared of this picture, which depicted the threat of total annihilation, that I glued the pages together so that I would never accidentally see it.</p>
<p>Although in the end I only did one painting of the sea, I dreamed of the Land of Cockaigne, that medieval idea of paradise where hams fly into your mouth and your every sensual wish is granted. Although I was afraid of the sea image, I longed nonetheless for places where one can drown in oblivion. Every painting I do comes from the same need to inhabit this land, to create a sense of engulfment, of complete enclosure, to blind and deafen and numb myself through the senses in order to find some peace. I persist with the image until no uncertainty remains within it, and I am thus provided daily with the illusion of certainty.</p>
