Very Real Time 3
Various artists at Various venues around Cape TownVery Real Time has been happening in various forms, mostly in Cape Town, South Africa, since 2003. The main objective is to try and set up suitable conditions for meaningful exchange between artists working in a contemporary and global context. For exchange to be meaningful as well as ongoing, the intimate and interpersonal dimension becomes a central component to the project’s content. Visiting artists live in the homes of local artists and in this way quickly become implicated the networks and interpersonal dynamics of the city. In this way the project has nourished personal relationships and artistic exchanges between local and visiting artists, which remain active to this day.
