i just love it when the curator's name is ten times bigger than the artists'. yeah!
and the publicity pic is even better. the curator IS the festival!
the curator is the reason this festival is happening. plus, how many of the artists names do you know on that list?
Why Anonymous 6:19, I thought all the Modernists had died!
That's the whitest group of artists since that Fresh Meat fiasco.
Maybe, but show me a black sound artist, especially from SA, and I'll show you a good time.
seriously, what a moron. i've never seen such a pompously designed invite before.
