Although Smith - one of South Africa’s most versatile artists - has generally tended to avoid the thematic in his exhibitions, his latest work explores themes of dialogue and communication, not necessarily of a harmonious nature. The contents of the show is mainly heads and shoulders - monumental portraits of living people he knows, and smaller ones of imagined characters, as well as multi-panel drawings in charcoal and mixed media on paper: there are also a number of oils on panels - all of which ‘showcase Smith’s virtuoso hand as a draftsman’ ( Sean O’Toole, art critic). These powerful pieces speak of Smith also as a social commentator and enter into a dialogue with broader social and political issues. Walkabouts with the artist: Saturday 3 & 17 Nov at 11 am.

Ella Heyns A painting is like a story Which stimulates the Imagination and draws The mind into a place Filled with Expectation, excitement, Wonder and pleasure. Ella was born and educated in the town of Vrede in the Free State, South Africa. She has been painting professionally for the last 16 years and stays in the beautiful town of George in the Western Cape, where the beauty and simplicity of the surrounding add to big inspiration. Planning plays an integral part in producing the nal product and an idea would sometime takes weeks to nally take shape on canvas. Although it often portrays everyday life like a visit to the local bakery, ower shop or cafe, there is calmness about it, and the painting scenes are those of tranquillity and happiness. The beauty and spirit of Europe’s architecture and especially France is encapsulates through Ella’s eyes and it is as if one can take a ride through these countries on one of her bicycles so often seen in her paintings. For Ella the bicycles represent each one of us on our journey through life, travelling, not necessarily towards a destination. Ella’s view on paintings? “A painting is like a story which stimulates the Imagination and draws the mind into a place lled with expectation, excitement, wonder and pleasure.” Bold and bright colours, thick brush strokes are a trademark in her work, expressing this joy felt by a positive attitude and a passion for life.

ART TIMES | INTERNATIONAL / REVIEW: ICP’s EXHIBITION “RISE AND FALL OF APARTHEID”
Review: ICP’s exhibit -- “Rise and Fall of apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life” International Center of Photography in New York City
By Ettagale Blauer, NYC For The SA Art Times To walk through the exhibit, “Rise and Fall of Apartheid: Photography and the Bureaucracy of Everyday Life,” at the International Center of Photography in New York City, is to walk through the fifty-year history of the evil system of apartheid which South Africa’s National Party used as an excuse to deny the majority of its people from sharing in the nation’s riches and resources as well as a chance to live decent lives. Curator Okwui Enwezor, who took this reviewer and other media on a private tour of the exhibition just prior to its opening on Friday, September 14, has conquered the formidable task of finding, organizing and utilizing the photographic images of nearly 70 photographers, filmmakers and artists, nearly all of them South African, to lay out the system in all its brutal methods and manifestations. With the assistance of Rory Bester in South Africa, Enwezor grouped some 500 still images, artworks, films, videos, and ephemera into the periods of apartheid from its declaration in 1948 with the Orwellian statement that it was a neighborly system – apartheid meaning separate (apart) and neighborhood (heid) -- for separating people, through the decades of its escalation into a system of absolute segregation of people along racial and ethnic lines. In the process, the ruling party made life a living hell for the majority of South Africans and codified every aspect of that process until it became a crime to do almost anything while being a black person in that country. 30
According to Enwezor, South African photographers were crucially involved in capturing the apartheid system, often because they were the targets of that very system. They immediately recognized the need to record every aspect of the intrusion in people’s daily lives. The excesses of the system were not always evident in its most brutal moves but rather in the physical wear and tear it inflicted, like water dripping endlessly on a stone. The well-known series of photographs taken by David Goldblatt on the buses that carried workers on two-three hours daily trips from distant townships to their work in the “white cities,” with some even forced to stand the whole way, showed the inequities of the system as much as the images of police and soldiers firing into unarmed crowds. The subtitle of the exhibit points out the pain inflicted by South Africa’s bureaucracy; in the Afrikaner mind, if someone could be shown to be breaking a law that alone justified the punishment. The venality of the law was easy to overlook in the bureaucratic mind. The exhibition occupies the two floors of the ICP building at the corner of Sixth Avenue and 43rd Street, in the heart of the midtown business district, a few blocks’ walk from the Broadway theatre district and Rockefeller Center. The ordinariness of the location is in contrast to the painful story told, decade by decade in the museum. As the visitor enters the building, a full wall displays the curator’s introductory essay, brilliantly encapsulating the period in which apartheid came into being. The system grew through the fifties and sixties while elsewhere in Africa, anti-colonial movements were striving to become independent nations with Ghana becoming the first to achieve nationhood in 1957. The visuals show that system growing and becoming more and more oppressive. The rich life of the people who were brutalized by apartheid is also on display, with the stunning image of the young Miriam Makeba seen in a short cocktail dress, her head thrown back in soulful song. Afrikaners denied themselves contact with that rich culture even as they tried to deny the humanity of those they kept segregated. Copies of local magazines such as “Drum” show this alternative life that survived under the radar of apartheid. At the same time, women from the English-speaking community created their own protest against apartheid, forming the Black Sash movement. In silent protests, each one standing alone so as not to be arrested as being part of an “illegal gathering,” they used their only weapon – moral authority – to try to defeat the apartheid system. These women came into daily contact with black workers
in their own homes and knew firsthand what the system was doing to the workers’ daily lives/ One survivor of the system, black photographer Pete Magubane came to the preview. At the age of 80 he is the living embodiment of the system, through his powerful photographs as well as his ability to survive a five-year banning during which he was specifically prohibited from taking photographs. Enwezor cited the important work of the Afrapix Collective in the 1980s including Paul Weinberg and Eric Miller. He described the reportage of the four fearless members of the Bang Bang club, and the work of Paul Weinberg and Alf Khumalo. It is difficult for anyone who has not seen apartheid in action to understand the pervasiveness of the system. A collective gasp went up among the New York media at the walkthrough when curator Enwezor paused by photographs of signs and explained that South Africans used this medium to express their protests, in part because the government prevented the introduction of television until 1976. As surely as the Chinese government is able to close down internet sites today, the National Party prevented its own citizens – white and black – from learning how the outside world viewed them. On TV, black South Africans did not exist. The show will run through January 6, 2013 in New York. It travels to Germany early in 2013. . Ettagale Blauer, based in New York, is the co-author with photojournalist Jason Laure of the book, “South Africa, Coming of Age Under Apartheid,” published by Farrar Straus & Giroux, and is also the author “African Elegance,” a look at the crafts and cultures of sub-Saharan Africa, published by Struik.
