Bonjour Belinda – Hot in the City

Have you got a Billy with Faith Love and Hope bag yet?? Daaaarling – they are SO this season! Our bright young naledi Belinda Zangewa, winner of the Gerard Sekoto award for the most-promising artist in 2004, backed by the Alliance Francaise, French Institute and ABSA won herself the following – a return ticket to Paris, three months stay at the Citý Internation…ale des Arts, nation-wide touring exhibition, French language classes, and a catalogue of the exhibition. She won it with her fabulara ‘mixed media triptych of clutch bags’ depicting city-scenes of Joburg, They celebrate the contradictory nature of the CBD: as beautiful and at the same time, dangerous, whilst asserting the artist’s femininity through the chosen media. Well if you havent bought one yet (don;t know where to start finding one) you can catch some of her further work at the upcoming Art exhibition Hot in the City. HOT IN THE CITY: The city is a setting for stories with the action taking place in its streets and building interiors. The cityscapes introduce the story about to be told, as well as telling their own stories by appearance alone. We are then taken into the dramatic situations told from the artist’s perspective, relaying events from her life. She explores her personal relationships in episodes that are intimate, like pages from her diary. Sharing lovers’ dialogue; the moment when a relationship falls apart; and fantasy. As with “Faith, Love and Hope” , she has worked on a raw silk “canvas” forming images and words in silk collage, embroidery and beading to create these tapestries. The combined use of illustration and text communicate with the viewer on visual, conceptual and emotional levels, with things left unsaid to allow the viewer to participate in the story-telling.

Barney Simon gives a Bow – RESPEC’

Well anyone that grew up listening to Rock and Radio 5 will know the UNCLE PAUL BEDTIME STORIES… and the man intent on letting the music churn. Love em or not HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD for SA Alternative music and every country needs an alternative scene… Just a little break from the norm.- Here is Barneys last goodbye: BARNEY SIMON Rev Martin Luther King: “I Have A Dream…...” It was a great experience to be part of 5FM over the past 24 years. It was my life and I will miss the radio listeners and supporters the most. I achieved what I wanted and that is to promote South African, alternative, punk, metal and rock music on radio without any rules. I have worked with dedicated and passionate people in the music and entertainment industry over the years. Thanks for your support. The time has come to move on. There are many new challenges waiting on the other side. For the thousands of fans all over the world – respect! Don’t fear, I will be back sooner than you think at a gig or a radio near you! Good luck to all my special friends at 5FM. You know who you are. Long live Rock & Roll! – Barney Simon, April 2005 PIC Courtesy the...
