Eight things not to miss at Turbine Art Fair 2017

  • Waiting for the sermon at Braamfontein’s newest bar @testament_bar by the makers of @kalashnikovvgallery #braamfontein #bar #johannesburginyourpocket #johannesburg #joburg #southafrica #africa #artcity #nightlife
  • Nice one! Photo by @borderland.sa #Reposted Joburg’s ubiquitous mini bus 🚎 taxis, faster than a sleeping bullet, able to drive in spaces you have never imagined. No road sign or traffic light can stand up to this vehicle and its driver. Hailed by hand signals, small change required. And always, ironically, the first to let you through traffic if you ask nicely. ・・・ || 17•04•2018 || GP #discoverjoburg #johannesburginyourpocket #johannesburg #joburg #taxis #southafrica #africa #commuter
  • More #local brilliance! #Repost @goodman_gallery ・・・ William Kentridge's 'The Head & the Load', opening at @tate Modern on 11 July, is about 'historical incomprehension, inaudibility and the invisibility' of the black participants in the First World War #williamkentridge #tate #tatemodern #discoverjoburg #johannesburginyourpocket #artcity
  • Theme for the day #supportlocal Get ready for @bashauhuru happening at @visitconhill next weekend - super shot of dynamite @moonchildsanelly who performs on June 30 #Repost @bashauhuru #discoverjoburg #johannesburg #johannesburginyourpocket #southafrica #africa #bashauhuru
  • #local Magnificent sculpture by artist Walter Oltmann on auction tomorrow at @russellkaplanauctioneers Inspired by the practice of Zulu basket weaving usually done by women. It was created for display at Standard Bank Gallery in 2014 for the Exhibition Exact Imagination: 300 years of Botanically Inspired Art in South Africa before finding its way to a private collection. #artcity #johannesburg #johannesburginyourpocket #visitjoburg #southafrica #africa #art #sculpture #weaving #shopping

  • Local design by the superb @lovejozi Been to Joburg, get the T-shirt. At @44_stanleyavenue @marketonmain or online. And if you are heading to Grahamstown for the @nationalartsfestival make sure to attend the #Creativate programme where designer @bradleykirshenbaum will be sharing his design story #Repost @nationalartsfestival ・・・ Like many graphic designers, @bradleykirshenbaum has spent a large part of his adult life agonising over font options, deliberating colour breakdowns and losing sleep over line weights. Hours in front of a computer have been dedicated to his vocation, with two decades of physiotherapy bills to show for it! In his talk - HASHTAG IN THE FUTURE - he reflects on a design career that has been motivated, shaped and informed by technology. Using his brand @lovejozi as a case study, he glances backwards and forwards as he questions whether his profession will one day become obsolete. This talk and others on the #Creativate programme will take place at the Engage Lecture Theatre. More on nationalartsfestival.co.za. #NAF18
