SELECTED LISTINGS

STANDBY

THIS MONTH:

Passions were stirred when art critic Lloyd Pollak wrote in to Artthrob this month with criticisms of the publication's 'selective' editorial policy. The debate continues to rage in Feedback, with Michaelis lecturer Malcolm Payne attacking Artthrob's 'pale comfort zone', and discussions emerging about the avant-garde versus the mainstream and whether it's healthy for artists to double as curators and critics. The feedback is challenging, thought-provoking and very valuable for Artthrob and the wider community. We're attempting to cover the most important trends and events in South African art today - both in relation to the global artworld and the particular exigencies of the South African context. Our lack of funding imposes very real limitations on our abilities, but the strength and diversity of the work that is being produced here, now, are what continue to motivate Artthrob. If you have comments and suggestions, please join in the discussions by emailing editor@artthrob.co.za.
