A new show from Ralph before he leaves these shores:

Opens on Wednesday 9th August at 18h00 at blank projects, and runs untill 1 September 2006. 'Promised land' is a body of work that plays on some of the faultlines running through contemporary South Africa - disparities in wealth, contests of ownership over symbols and cultural objects, the threat to stability offered by the dispossessed, new struggles with their conflicted relationship to the old Struggle. Was it land that was promised; is this the land that was promised? The exhibition combines sampled and manipulated mass-produced objects with fictional artefacts to produce a wry commentary on South Africa now.

Sounds like it should be fun. Plus, the blank projects really seems to be taking off. Some very interesting shows there recently, and really living up to it's name as a project space. We should have more of these alternative spaces in CT, or in SA for that matter

PS Are those sharks working yet?
