'The Loaded Lens' at Goodman Gallery Cape
Taking its premise from the understanding that no image is neutral, 'The Loaded Lens' presents photographs attempting to challenge preconceptions through their arresting conceptualisation, discomfiting subject matter or unusual angle of vision. The show features an impressive line-up of leading photographers working in South Africa and internationally, as well as some new names: Hasan and Husain Essop, Kendell Geers, David Goldblatt, Richard Hamilton, Isaac Julien, Senzeni Marasela, Gideon Mendel, Tracey Moffat, Shirin Neshat, Adrian Piper, Tracey Rose, Lorna Simpson, Kathryn Smith, Joel Sternfeld, Mikhael Subotzky and Nontsikelelo Veleko.
Many of the works explore personal and social conflict situations or hint at the unease underlying appearances. From Gideon Mendel's photodocumentary approach, to the ethical dilemmas of recording people living with Aids, to Sue Williamson's participatory project with the citizens of an Egyptian village, to Joel Sternfeld's epic topographies, they challenge and blur the distinction between artist and photographer and between modes of photography. Urban existence takes on chilling undercurrents in the work of David Goldblatt, Senzeni Marasela and legendary pop artist Richard Hamilton, whose domestic scenes are reminiscent of his iconic 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today's homes so different, so appealing?. Mikhael Subotzky's portraits of a Beaufort West antique dealer who also collects life-size mannequins explore the nature of obsessive collecting.
British film maker Isaac Julien and local 'terrorealist' Kendell Geers assail the viewer with provocative images. Similarly provocative is the work of Americans Adrian Piper and Lorna Simpson which deals with what it means to be black and female. Nontsikelelo Veleko, a younger generation South African photographer, explores similar terrain, revealing the destabilising nature of self-projection. Undertones of sexually charged violence emerge in the work of Kathryn Smith and Tracey Moffat.

Zanele Muholi, Youssef Nabil, Rotimi Fani-Kayodé, and Athi-Patra Ruga at Michael Stevenson Gallery
Photographers Rotimi Fani-Kayodé, Zanele Muholi and Youssef Nabil exhibit at Michael Stevenson in June. Interrogating sexuality, desire and intimacy, these three photographers are undeniably important figures in the contemporary world of photography. Concurrently, fashion designer/artist Athi-Patra Ruga presents a multi-media installation in the side gallery.
The late Rotimi is considered to be one of the most important and influential black photographers of the 20th century. Of Yoruba descent, born in Lagos, Nigeria in 1955 , he was at the forefront of destabilising the stereotypical view of Africa and 'Africanness'. This exhibition promises a comprehensive overview of Rotimi's large-scale colour work.
Activist photographer Zanele Muholi represents the black female body in a frank yet intimate way that challenges the history of the portrayal of black women's bodies in documentary photography. Muholi will present Being, a series that engages with black lesbians in order to refute the stigma of lesbianism as being 'un-African'.
Born in Cairo in 1972, Youssef Nabil has always been fascinated with the glamour and style of early Egyptian cinema, the black and white photo-novels published at the time and the hand-coloured family portraits that still adorn most living rooms in Cairo. Nabir uses this as the basis for his staged, constructed and meticulously hand-coloured black and white portraits of celebrities, close friends and fellow artists such as Julian Schnabel, John Waters, Shirin Neshat (whose work can be seen at the Goodman), Tracey Emin and Ghada Amer.
In his latest body of work, entitled Sleep in My Arms, Nabil gives us access to stories about his relationships with various male friends through his delicately coloured, quiet and intimate portraits. Nabil, a voyeur by nature, places these young men in situations of his own imagining and sets up dreamlike moments that are imbued with a brooding sexuality.

Mark Hipper at João Ferreira
Ghanaian-born Mark Hipper returns to João Ferreira with a new series of paintings and silkscreens. For the paintings, Hipper sourced images from a Department of Education manual for Physical Education instructors, as well as other sources including an anatomy book. Originally these images were produced solely to illustrate a particular directive or lesson, and beyond that they do not even have an author. Hipper writes, 'These images are still reproduced in the sense of elementary lessons being passed on from one generation to the next; after-images after images. What interested me was the banality of these images, and the sense perhaps, of a loss and the promise of a future which accrues to these ageing and discarded images.'
The silkscreens on the show are derived from photographs the artist took during a life drawing class in a Fine Art Department at a University similar to the one he teaches in. Hipper lives in Grahamstown where he lectures at Rhodes University.
His works are part of many prestigious collections including Johannesburg Art Gallery, Mary and Leigh Block Gallery, University of Chicago, WITS University Collection, SANLAM and the Endhoven Collection.

'The inchoate, idiosyncratic descent into nihilism' at blank projects
In an interesting acknowledgement of the importance of opening nights for exhibitions, blank projects will be running a series of such events over the next six months. The events focus on the modernist mantra of 'art for art's sake'. The first such event will open with the ever-provocative Ed Young and collaborative works by Lily Luz and Carrie Timlin. Those attending are encouraged to bring hats for an ongoing 'hat exchange'. A hat for exchange guarantees one artwork in return on a first come first serve basis.

Monique Pelser at Bell-Roberts
In the manner of the German photographer August Sander, Monique Pelser sought out and photographed a range of South African vocational archetypes: the builder, the mechanic, the petrol attendant, the nurse, the airline steward, the bored suburban security guard. Pelser however complicated these unceremonious portraits of the mundane by inserting herself into every frame, inhabiting - quite literally - the dress (clothes, shoes, jewellery, spectacles) of her subjects, who in turn wore her clothes and took her picture.
'Engaging in a process of role-reversal and dress-up self-portraiture, I attempted to imitate various roles and stereotypes in order to challenge the signs of identity construction through photography,' she explains.

Fritha Langerman at Bell-Roberts
Fritha Langerman continues her interest in the printed image with a solo exhibition entitled 'The Knowledge Commons'. The collection of prints and three dimensional work makes reference to the ordering system of the Encyclopédie and the play between image, text, symbol and print in the construction of meaning and definition. In alluding to a visual compendium, the work points to the fine distinction between sense and nonsense when collections and images are brought together. The exhibition co-opts the symbolic structure of the cathedral, referencing a play between sanctioned and unofficial bodies of knowledge. The history of printmaking as a protagonist in the (mis)translation between image and text is one of Langerman's specific concerns.
Langerman explains, 'Diderot and d'Alembert's lexicography, the Encyclopédie (1751-66) provided a taxonomic system of human knowledge at the time. It was the quintessential publication of the Enlightenment, being emblematic of the Age of Reason, yet simultaneously heralding the French Revolution in both its egalitarian content and its implied critique of the Catholic Church and its structures. It is this contradiction between reason and revolution within bodies of knowledge and their reception that is of interest to this new visual body of work.'

Damien Schumann at what if the world.../Art Space
Recently shown as part of 'XCape', Damien Schumann's documentary series 'Dialogues' deals with people and families affected by tuberculosis (TB). Schumann's style attempts to entrap the viewer within the mundane reality of the subject's world.
With 'Dialogues' the concept is primarily educational, however Schumann attempts to cross the boundary between art, awareness, advocacy and education. And indeed, his work has led to the founding of 'A Better Picture' Artist Fund that addresses the problems documented by socially aware artists. Four pieces from 'Dialogues' are included in the UCT Irma Stern Art Collection.

This group show is the newest exhibition by the 'Am I Collective', a group of young creatives who have made a name for themselves with their compelling graphics and visual wit. With this exhibition the artists aim to visually investigate a 'creative imbalance, which holds the potential to be heaven and hell at the same time. "Verstikland" is a place where you childhood dreams can come true, but so too your nightmares. It is a place where binary opposites conjoin.'
Members of the 'Am I Collective' are Christo Basson, Ruan Vermeulen, Kris Hewitt, Rudi de Wet, Pete Lewis, Mine Jonker, Fred Peens and Emma Cook.

'Am I a painter?' at art b.
This show of paintings, entitled 'Am I a Painter?', is themed around the contemporary visualisation of the 'picturesque' and is a response to the archetypal genre of the still life. The show intends to draw a relationship between illustrative and abstract painting, to both conceptualise and visualise how narrative is structured from juxtaposing inactive forms, and also, make explicit how a 'story' is produced between the image and its title. The show includes the increasingly popular illustrator Michael Taylor as well as Lynette Bester, Judith Hendry and Karen Cronje.

Josie Grindrod, Ken Rees-Gibbs and Lindile Magunya at the AVA
Josie Grindrod exhibits 'Internal Objects, Embodied Subjects' in the main gallery of the AVA. Her work investigates the relationships between image-making, psychoanalysis and childhood experience, in order to understand the ways in which the self is both articulated and interpreted. Grindrod is interested in aspects of self experience which are not communicable in words or which remain just outside consciousness and her work exploits the improvisatory nature of paint.
Concurrently, Lindile Magunya returns to the AVA for the second time with an exhibition in the long gallery entitled 'ABAZALI BAJONGENE NOTSHABA'. This body of work explores the role of parents in a society where the brutalisation of children is common place. The title of the exhibition translates to 'parents are facing the enemy'. Magunya reflects on the need for strong role models and guardians.
Ken Rees-Gibbs presents a body of oil paintings that are adaptations of the songs of Jethro Tull. Historically Jethro Tull was a poor farmer who invented innovative farming tools and was thus able to escape the cycle of poverty. In 1968 Ian Anderson founded the famous folk rock band, naming it after his agrarian hero Jethro Tull. Rees-Gibbs' oil paintings are a product of an empathy with these figures. Rees-Gibbs was selected for the 1991 Cape Town Triennial and has held many solo exhibitions nationally.

Jason Lauré at 3rd i Gallery
From the summer of love in San Francisco to Woodstock in 1969, Jason Lauré's photographs take in the highs and lows of 'The Sixties'. The photographs reflect on the legacy of an era that people regard with great nostalgia, often hoping to recapture an illusory mood of optimism that defines our perception of that time. Lauré's photographs also reveal the dark side of that decade, with his first published photographs of the upheaval in Chicago in the wake of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination.
After Woodstock, Lauré turned his attention, and his camera to Africa. He now divides his time between Cape Town, Greenwich Village in New York and a home in Hollywood. Lauré has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Photography.

'Felt-tip' at what if the world...
Held at their newly opened Woodstock gallery, 'Felt tip' is a collection of posters made by 30 prestigious designers and illustrators. Grafik magazine, in association with Letraset, invited them to create an artwork using very simple materials - a sheet of A1 premium paper from GF Smith and a set of Tria Markers from Letraset. The aim was to create an opportunity where designers could step away from their computers and create a piece of work that required them to interact physically with their materials.
The exhibition has been shown at the SEA Gallery in London and Colette in Paris.

Liza Grobler at AVA
Liza Grobler's quirky sense of humour is ever-present in her latest show composed of ten drawings appropriately titled '9 Chicks and a Dick'. Grobler's drawings take their inspiration from the battle waged by nine ambiguous creatures - both monster girls and modern day beauties simultaneously - against the 'indigenous enemy'. Grobler's rendition of the battle of the sexes is marvellously offbeat.
After completing her Master's Degree at Stellenbosch, Grobler has made her name with work that questions the divide between art and craft, consistently tapping into the ambivalence engendered by the kitsch and the tacky.

Charles Maggs at Salt Project Room
Charles Maggs' 'Prelude to Bitterness' comprises new video and print works. In the work Maggs explores distortions thrown up by the convenience society in which we all operate. Much as a disease manifests itself in a series of sometimes unrelated symptoms, the distortions that trigger the work manifest themselves in a series of states such as dislocation, detachment from time and space, logic interruptions and unexplained paranoia.
Maggs obtained a BAFA from UNP in 1992 and recently graduated from Michaelis with an MFA in New Media (with distinction). In addition to his artistic practice, he has worked as a graphic designer and is currently a senior lecturer at AAA School of Advertising. He recently showcased his Master's work 'Cirque du Pan' at the AVA. Maggs lives and works in Cape Town.

Cyprian Mpho Shilakoe at Iziko SANG
'Cyprian Mpho Shilakoe Revisited' is curated by Jill Addleson, formerly of the Durban Art Gallery and the exhibition includes works on loan from private and public collections in South Africa.
Born in 1946, Shilakoe studied at Rorke's Drift in KwaZulu Natal. As the chief training ground for many exceptional artists, Rorke's Drift provided a platform for black artists at a time when apartheid denied them formal education in fine art.
Shilakoe, who died tragically in a car accident in 1972, concentrated on etching rather than the more popular linocut. However, in 2005, an invaluable discovery was made when one of Shilakoe's sisters revealed that a number of his works were stored at the family's home - closed for over 20 years - in Dennilton, near Bronkhorstspruit. Addleson and Philippa Hobbs, Curator of the MTN Art Foundation, subsequently discovered eight never-before-seen early works, including two extremely rare clay sculptures by Shilakoe.
The exhibition provides the opportunity of seeing these works for the first time, together with prints, sculptures and paintings.

Art from Rorke's Drift at Iziko SANG
Curator Joe Dolby presents an important collection of art from Rorke's Drift. A seminal fine arts training centre for black artists during the apartheid era, Rorke's Drift in KwaZulu Natal afforded oppportunities for those denied art training in South Africa. Established in 1968, the school was initially managed by two Swedish art teachers, Peder and Ulla Gowenius.
The show also demonstrates the collecting policy of the National Gallery. The first prints and tapestries from Rorke's Drift in the collection of the Iziko South African National Gallery were acquired in the mid-1960s. Most of the artists represented were confined to well-known names such as Azaria Mbatha and John Muafangejo. In 2006, funding provided by the National Lottery Board enabled the gallery to significantly augment their holdings and to assemble a more representative selection detailing the diverse range of artistic production of the school.
