Bursting Art's Bubble
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
“Cape Town art desperately needs to realise that competition is healthy and needs to be enlarged. It must be difficult to make a living as an artist in Cape Town, which perhaps explains the back-biting that takes place.”
So says Linda Givon, in an article in the Sunday Times. (First I quote Barry Ronge and now Linda Givon?? Something strange is happening on this blog.)
I would like to, on this note, point out an old cartoon by Lizza.

Does she have a point? Hell, yeah.
Which of her sharpnesses are you -anonoymous- refering to? Personally, I am flabergasted flumoxed and flapjacked that I seem to be the only reader of ArtHeat who is surprised that Linda is such a rabid Afro pessimist as to imply from her experience of 1970's Zaire (whattafuck was Reuven doing there) an inevitable conclusion for this thriving democracy, The Horror The Horror No Art!!!
And sweet how she promotes Michael S. ( by implication demolishing all the other pests, they are beneath mention) while asserting, quite subtly, her superiority.
What a pain. What a drag. What a bore.
its the filth aint it?
It's not the first I've heard, though, about local gallerists trying to push other people off their turf.
