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!
