Five South Africans on Dak'Art 2004
Five South Africans have been accepted to participate on this year�s Dakar Biennial of Contemporary African Art, Dak'Art 2004. Africa�s pre-eminent showcase of contemporary African art, this year�s event will present 33 artists and five designers from 16 countries, exhibiting 94 works.
The South Africans artists selected work in a diverse range of media, and include two recent local
competition winners. Thando Mama last year won the MTN New Contemporaries for his video installations, while Doreen Southwood clinched top honours at the Brett Kebble Art Awards for her beautifully distraught sculptural evocation of a woman on the edge, titled The Swimmer. The other three artists are Mgcineni 'Pro' Sobopha, Gregg Smith and Sue Williamson.
Dak'Art 2004 takes place from May 7 to June 7 in the city of Dakar, Senegal.
