Fly sticking ability

Yesterday evening a colleague and I went to the Goodman Gallery in Joburg. It was the opening a SWAT, a new exhibition by Willem Boshoff. The gallery writes about him that "The ambiguities of words, playful provocation and grave disquiet are ubiquitous elements in the work of Willem Boshoff."

It might be hard to see it, but the letters in the word SWAT above are actually plastic flies glued to the map-background. A friend of a friend helped preparing the exhibition and asked us to come and "assess her fly sticking ability". I think she did great. My favorite piece though, was a photo of a cracked tar road that looked exactly like a baobab tree.

Have a great Friday!

Spriiiing!

Yay! I'm so happy today! Finally, after a few VERY cold months, spring seems to have arrived in Joburg. Whilst my friends in Norway have started to complain about cold weather and autumn being around the corner. I'm getting ready to put my summer dress on and have a glass of Sauvignon Blanc with ice cubes (the SA way ;)

I know... winter here is nothing compared to what I'm used to from Norway. However, houses in Norway are actually built for winter with insulation, double windows and central heating. Here, it seems like winter cones as a surprise every year (OK, I've only spent two winters here..). I've basically been hiding under my blanket for a few months now, drinking tea with my housemate. Now, it is about time that I get out and about!

There are many reasons to celebrate today: Spring, weekend, Lovely friends visiting from Musina..

The Friday will kick of with sun downer drinks at the 12 Decades Hotel downtown Jozi.

Have a lovely weekend!
