Greatmore Studios Cape Town

Finally sttling into the visiting artists’ house in the quiet suburb of Observatory, favoured by packbackers and well served by pubs, bars and eateries. i have a presentation to make on Thursday at Greatmore’s Open Studio event at which the resident artiss and committe members will be present so i will meet them all. I have met a few already-Velile Soha the printmaker and Igshaan Adams, whose work with found images and used household furnishing materials looked really interesting. Otherwise there’s plenty to see gallery wise-the National has ahuge review of 100 years of SA art throughout th entire building, and in two parts, so it will need a few visits but promises to an invaluable overview of contemporary discourses.
