JHB: Coal Stove Awards – Invest in SA Film
We’ve been supporting Coal Stove since we met the boys Scottness and Wandi back at the Loeries in 2005.. they were just finishing their film studies that year (they shared a blurry golden moment with us never to be forgotten đ ) … Anyway point is they’ve come a long way since that starry-eyed Margate weekend … their production company Coal Stove, together with their friends and firm collaborators (like our favourite inner city venue Private Practice) have put together the SECOND year of Coal Stove film screenings fondly known as ‘Off the Shelf’ events. Their bottom-up non-wavering efforts towards uplifting the SA film-making industry culminates in the COAL STOVE award ceremony taking place next Sunday, where guests are ingeniously asked to pay R100 entrance fee which will enable ‘ordinary people to participate in the empowerment of the South African movie business‘ … HOW? Because the winner of the Coal Stove Audience Choice Award on the night will receive all the monies collected to make their movie. Read all about it below. Get to the ceremony on Sunday. And support young SA film makers.

CT: Sometimes I forget… @ Blank Projects
Hang out in the BoKaap at the ‘vernissage’ this Wednesday the 4/3/09 of “Sometimes I forget that you exist” an exhibition that will be ‘developing’ over the month of March, ending on the 27th. It’s curated by Trasi Henen and features contributing artists Francis Burger, Sebastian Charilaou, Zipho Dayile, Anja de Klerk, Douglas Gimberg, Mendi Pantsi, Werner Ungerer and Ed Young. The liminal space is where binaries momentarily dissolve, the space in between… Dominant culture is a victim of the Will (after Schopenhauerâs The World as Idea and Representation) and therefore perpetually oscillating between Desire and Ennui. Desire is a state of potentiality. When the desired destination is reached, is this a tragedy? Sometimes I forget that you exist is a collaborative research project around desire and the heterotopia. Participants are asked to engage with the above dialectic. The exhibition process is ongoing, and contingent, culminating in a closing event. In the two weeks leading up the exhibition, blank becomes the research studio which opens the project to dialogue and interventions. Opening on Wed. 4 March 2009 @ 18h00 With a closing event Fri. 27 March 2009 @ 18h00 – Blank Projects is located at 198 Buitengracht Street, Bo-Kaap, Cape Town. – For more information on the artists or the exhibition: http://blankprojects.blogspot.com/ *27 72 1989221, *27 72 5075951...
