Steven Cohen and Elu are at it again - emitting bodily fluids on stage in their performance of Tradition at the NSA - but for those who cannot get over their disgust, Virginia MacKenny gives a new reading in her review. At the Union Buildings in Pretoria, an innovative monument to the women of South Africa was unveiled earlier this month - but in the Department of Arts and Culture press release on the event, the artist/designers Wilma Cruise and Marcus Holmes are not even mentioned by name. Why? Kathryn Smith interviews advisor Rayda Becker for some answers.
