Excuses, Truces and Nooses
Tuesday, March 06, 2007
Artthrob has published both Gavin Jantjes' "Letter to the Artists" and an interview with Gabi Ncgobo and Jonathan Garnham. Both these go some way to clear up the Trans Cape mess, and usher in the new Cape '07. It's a good read, also try the new Cape '07 press release, which works a bit better than the weird conspiracy-inspiring last one. Artthrob also published this picture of Jantjes, in what seems to me to be a surprising turn to the ironic, in which he looks like a potato.

The potato appears to have been digitally enhanced: it shows lots of what is known, in the food image business, as "appetite appeal" . Is this an an honest meal for two, perhaps for a small family, or a selfish pleasure, to be consumed alone, of course, but in hiding? A shape which is so simply organic as to defy reductive naration. It was such a potato, inserted casually into his bath tub, which provoked Aristotle's timeworn "Aha". Seriously, though, does not this humble spud's time scarred visage not betoken a fluffy interior?
zoone are you irish? or do you just have an empty fridge and a potato fetish? personally i feel the potato could have been much enhanced with a title (Mr.)and a "bucket o' parts"...
do you want to discuss empty fridges in public? Actually when i read the "e" I thought you were about to go enemetic.
If it wasn't for a certain dependency on the humble potato, thwarted by the Great Blight & Starvations, what would Gangster Movies have had as antagonists to The Mob? Thus history and her great migrations writ large in the empty fridge.
That's not an Irish potato, it's a sweet potato.
The sweet potato is the curator?
The potato is a sweet potato

Its just a good ol' Norwegian Potato. Classic potato flavour, but not quite of the grade MacDonald's would use.
It doesn't look like a hot potato. It's raw
Gavin looks more cooked than the potato
A Charles Glass Potato: Somewhat dry somewhat bitter, but never sweet
