   Issue No. 93, May 2005

It is hard to know who or what is the greatest victim of the unedifying Nelson Mandela art print scam: the charities the sale of the prints was supposed to benefit, the reputation of South Africa's great leader, or the credibility of South African art. In OPINION this month, Sue Williamson dolefully looks at the issues.

On the brighter side, no less than six South African-born artists will be showing on the two main exhibitions in the Italian Pavilion and the Arsenale on the 51st Venice Biennale, more than any other country except the United States (9), Spain (8) and Germany(7). One of them is Berni Searle, whose new show opens this month at Michael Stevenson in Cape Town. Searle has been selected to exhibit on the exhibition 'Always a little further', which will be in the Arsenale and is curated by Biennale co-director Rosa Martinez. The five other artists, who will show in the Italian Pavilion, are Robin Rhode, Zwelethu Mthethwa, William Kentridge, Marlene Dumas and Candice Breitz.

   Issue No. 92, April 2005

What is the art world to make of the sorry Nelson Mandela artists' prints affair? The wheeling and dealing now receiving extensive coverage in the press is unsavoury to say the least, and the credibility of artists and the validity of editioned prints is being called into serious question. An opinion piece will appear in News next month.

   Issue No. 91, March 2005

Joost Bosland, writing from New York, perceives a possible new highlighting and understanding of African art outside of the continent. As I write this, Iziko South African National Gallery's head of contemporary art, Emma Bedford is in that city as part of a hand-selected group of international curators invited to provide fresh ideas to the curators of MoMA. March sees shows that tend towards representing the great names in South African art. Look through the listings and the reviews and names such as Norman Catherine, the late Gerard Sekoto, the late Dumile Feni, Jurgan Schadeberg, Malcolm Payne, Sue Williamson and William Kentridge seem to dominate. Can it be that another corner has been turned here at home?

   Issue No. 90, February 2005

All is quiet, feels the editor this month - why so little discussion and debate in our art world? What do we say about art or, perhaps more tellingly, what does the nature of the art we focus on in this publication have to do with the fact that very little ever seems to be said? Even at openings and walkabouts, I have found that hardly anyone is interested in the art anymore. Of the gossip about the artists, curators, hangers-on, etc, much fills the cluttered whites cubes and other volumes dotted around our country. Of art there is silence.
