THURSDAY
I should apologize for the dodgy quality of some of these
pics, although by now if you’re still hanging around these parts technical
brilliance is obviously not what you’re after. It’s not that I totally don’t
give a shit, I too wish I could take pics as beautifully crisp and composed as
Anthony Bila (btw you MUST check out his blog, he is totes my favourite local
fashion blogger at the moment, his pictures have such a beautiful technical
brilliance, and he obviously knows his way around a camera). Sometimes I wish I
enjoyed photoshop, so I could atleast fix some mistakes but fuck it’s such a chore,
and I hate chores. Anyway, imma stop bashing myself now, people who fish for
pity are cunts. And if there’s one lesson I took from the above event it is not to be a victim, forever
self-pitying . The event Exhibition B was
organized by my Max Mogale and curated by Yang Zhao, featuring work by Paul
Ward, Urban Mosadi, Kai Kevlar, Azeulah, Nicci Bruce, Anelisa Mangcu, Alix-Rose
Cowie, Danielle Clough and Max Mogale. Bar one, these are all peeps I know and
call friends, some close some less so, and they’re all already pushing their
individual commercial hustles, but like
a lot of us, they enjoy the opportunity to do more work that is not governed by
market forces. Which is why I find this type
of event so inspiring, because a community of people that hang out, drink party
together pooled their resources and created an awesome evening for the rest of
us to enjoy and be exposed to the artistic work that they create outside of
their commercial endeavors ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….started

the pics. probably enuff oprah vibes for now anyway
