My interview with Jenny Holzer about her t-shirt intervention in Johannesburg and Soweto was published on T Magazine's web site (T, for those outside of the U.S. is the New York Times Style Magazine).
Have a read here.
And learn more about the In Context project, curated by Liza Essers the owner and director of the Goodman Gallery, here.
Essers had the following to add: “The Goodman gallery is committed to social responsibility. Hundreds of millions have been spent on soccer stadiums and we wanted Jenny's truisms on t-shirts -- not LED screens -- to highlight the very real issues and abject poverty surrounding them.”
If you're in Johannesburg on Thursday, head to Melrose Arch to watch the 90 minute film Zidane: A 21st-Century Portrait, by artists Philippe Parreno and Douglas Gordon, also part of Incontext. And look out for Kara Walker's films at the Apartheid Museum and Hank Willis Thomas's work on show at the Goodman Gallery space at Arts on Main and in Parkwood.
