Citing the Mei Moses Index, an indicator that tracks the price of art, the newspaper reported that spending on art has dropped 32% in the last six months. Locally, this slowdown in luxury consumption has prompted the closure of two prominent contemporary art galleries, in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Recognising the need for relief, and following the example of central bankers worldwide, <i>Art South Africa</i> is printing new money, which it will be giving away for free. While the new artist-designed currency will not buy you coffee, let alone pay off any pressing debts, it will guide you to the award-winning quarterly magazine. The latest Spring 2009 issue includes a detailed feature article on South Africa&#039;s burgeoning secondary market for art, by art historian Rory Bester. Avavilable in only one denomination, &#034;80 Bucks&#034; &#8211; a pointer to the magazine&#039;s R80 cover price &#8211; the <b>Art South Africa Banknote Campaign</b> features the contributions of four exciting young artists: Bison, Faith47, Senyol and Wesley van Eeden. The banknote flyers, which mimic the look and feel of actual currency, will be circulated at targeted art events nationally.&#160; The <b>Banknote </b><b>Campaign</b>, which launched at a private function celebrating the magazine&#039;s seventh birthday, held at wine estate Glen Carlou on September 5, is a three-way collaboration between advertising agency Young &#038; Rubicam, Cape Town; creative art agency Word of Art; and <i>Art South Africa</i> magazine. To coincide with the launch of this guerrilla marketing campaign, which also includes a series of street posters featuring the banknotes, <i>Art South Africa</i>, in association with Word of Art, is offering limited edition collectable prints featuring the banknote designs. The prints, limited to 50 each and individually signed, are priced at R999.&#160; &#034;<i>Art </i><i>South Africa&#034;</i> has traditionally taken a very restrained approach to self-promotion, allowing word of mouth to guide the magazine to new readers,&#034; says <i>Art South Africa</i> editor, Sean O&#039;Toole. &#034;For our seventh birthday issue, a milestone in many ways for a niche media title such as this, we decided to look to Cape Town&#039;s unheralded creative talent for inspiration and help.&#034; &#160; </p><p class="NoSpacing">The <b>Banknote <p></b> </p><p><b></b><b>Campaign</b> follows on an earlier collaboration between <i>Art South Africa</i> and Young &#038; Rubicam, Cape Town, who in December 2008 devised a poster asking passersby to drop off illegal firearms at a police station. The campaign coincided with an issue of the magazine focussing on the &#034;Awuleth&#039; Umshini Wami&#034; song popularised by President Jacob Zuma. </p><p>&#160; </p><p>Says <i>Art </i><i>South Africa</i>&#039;s publisher, Brendon Bell-Roberts: &#034;I think the Banknote Campaign will energise the magazine&#039;s existing brand profile, while also break down some of the antagonisms towards street art amongst high art purists.&#034; </p><p>&#160; </p><p>&#160; </p><p>&#160; </p><p>&#160; </p> </p> <p><a href="http://artsouthafrica.com/?news=141#comment">Post Comment</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=xARvoqK5HCw:_cWDwfJ75Fs:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> Bell-Roberts Publishing © Bell-Roberts Publishing.

Recognising the crucial silence of men on this pressing subject, McInnes decided to curate a show documenting exclusively male viewpoints. &#034;I had the idea a year ago, while grappling <br />artistically with this topic myself, that it could be an interesting exercise to delve into the artistic psyches of ... male artists and see just what interpretations come out.&#034; Titled <i>A Legacy of Men</i>, the show includes contributions by Pierre Fouche&#769;, Robert Hamblin, Nicholas Hlobo, Lawrence Lemoana, Mikhael Subotzky, Johan Thom and Kemang Wa-Lehulere. The exhibition proposes &#034;a secure forum where it is hoped that visual cues will trigger responses on matters often suppressed&#034;. <i>A Legacy of Men</i> is on at the Johannesburg Art Gallery until February 24, 2008. </p><p><a href="http://artsouthafrica.com/?news=85#comment">Post Comment</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=taFPJGj0vxM:MX1Q0_2d44U:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> Bell-Roberts Publishing © Bell-Roberts Publishing.

Titled <i>Intimate Relations</i>, the exhibition opened at Cape Town&#039;s Iziko <br />South African National Gallery in November and runs until January 13, 2008. Jointly curated by the artist and Emma Bedford, of Goodman Gallery Cape, the show includes a number of sexually explicit images. &#034;Dumas has long been interested in the relationship of pornography to erotica and in notions of exposure and concealment,&#034; writes Bedford in an essay appearing in a 140-page book released to coincide with the exhibition. Titled <i>Marlene Dumas: Intimate Relations</i>, the book was jointly edited by Bedford and Dumas, and is co-published by Jacana Media, Johannesburg and Roma Publishers, Amsterdam. Dumas, whose reputation as a painter has in recent times been burdened by her upbeat performance <br />at auction, strongly divides opinion. In a 1994 review published in <i>Art in America </i>her handling of paint was praised as &#034;direct, notational and extremely deft, as though <br />Dumas were recording her dreams in their raw immediacy&#034;. <i>Village Voice</i> art critic Jerry Salz is less impressed; earlier this year he described Dumas as a &#034;second- rate latter-day Neo-Expressionist&#034;. <i>Intimate Relations</i>, which moves to Johannesburg&#039;s Standard Bank Gallery in 2008 (February 6 &#8211; March 29), does not include <i>The Teacher</i> (<i>Sub a</i>), a large (1.6 x 2m) painting that fetched $3.34m at a 2005 London auction. </p><p><a href="http://artsouthafrica.com/?news=83#comment">Post Comment</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=pyeThu2auBE:9OZy_aNgFq4:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> Bell-Roberts Publishing © Bell-Roberts Publishing.

A cooperative agency with offices in London, Paris, Tokyo and New York, Magnum was founded in 1947 by Henri Cartier Bresson and Robert Capa, amongst others. The invitation was announced following a meeting held on June 21, in the gardens of the Museum of Modern Art in New York &#8211; the same venue the original founders of Magnum decided to create the agency 60 years ago. Subotzky, whose new exhibition of photographs is on display at Goodman Gallery Cape until September 15, was invited to become a Nominee Member, &#034;a category of membership which presents an opportunity for Magnum and the individual to get to know each other, but where there are no binding commitments on either side&#034;. After a period of two years, he can present another portfolio in support of an Associate Membership. If successful, he will then become a fully-fledged member of the agency. This year&#039;s other two nominees are Argentinean Allessandra Sanguinetti and Dane Jacob Aue Sobol. &#034;I couldn&#039;t be happier with the excellence and diversity of this group,&#034; remarked Alec Soth, an influential Minneapolis-based photographer on his popular internet blog. </p><p><a href="http://artsouthafrica.com/?news=77#comment">Post Comment</a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?a=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/artsouthafrica?i=fWcES72NCZA:L_X6om655YA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> </div> Bell-Roberts Publishing © Bell-Roberts Publishing.
