Spawn in a Teacup. The 2nd Cape Town Biennale and Blank Projects, final chapter.
Thursday, September 27, 2007
I agree with that angry commentator who called herself Nadine. The Cape Town art scene is little, full of little art people, and what's worse they're incestuous sluts. Look at Jonathan Garnham pimping himself outside his own gallery. So brazen! And look at the size of the gallery. Could it actually get smaller? And saddest of all it housed the entire Biennale! And the slut curator Andrew Lamprecht was standing there flagrantly discussing how he could make it EVEN SMALLER. He liked the idea of a Biennale-At-A-Glance, and even warmed to the idea of a Drive-By Biennale.
You think that's bad? There were only about 8 works on the show and 3 featured real body hair. Eww. The furry Bible by Gabi Ncobo was especially offensive. And then there's the incestuousness. For example, the show is being reviewed by one of the artists who was on it, and YOU'RE READING IT! Well, you may be thinking, at least she's not going to actually scrape the bottom of the barrel by writing about herself. Wrong! Or that she won't boast about how fuckin brilliant she evidently believes she is. Wrong again! Am brilliant. Am genius. Brilliant brilliant. Genius genius. See? It gets worse. We're not just incestuous. We're becoming hermaphrodites!

Dear Lizza,
Please do not belittle yourself anymore. Having outed the little people for what they truly are (“incestoius sluts”, “slut curator”, gallerist “pimp”) you may remove the appellation “little” from your surname. Just call yourself “Wort”. At this rate pretty soon I imagine you could call yourself “Bigwort”.
That said my former critique was of the little people’s RSR fixation. Albeit not going as far as Miles Keylock’s Mail & Guardian article branding the little people’s goings on as “A rectal escapade” I did allude to their stupidity.
PS. Was that Ed’s pubic hair on Ncobo’s bible?
Love and peace,
Nadine.
Bigwort it is. Thanks for the good idea. And no it is not Ed's hair as he doesn't have any. It is a rare kind of hair that had to be imported because it doesn't occur naturally on the African continent.
does hair occur, or grow?
