Better Late Than Never
Sunday, April 15, 2007
In a fit of procrastination, that bastion of fine journalism the Mail & Guardian chose "Gimberg/Nerf/Sacks/Young" as their Cape art pick of the week, conveniently ignoring the fact that the exhibition's been on since 21 March. You can read the decidedly informal review (oh-so-contemporary Tracey Emin reference in tow) here.

1. Who is Miles Keylock?
2. Is this an example of embedded journalism? The critic as house pet.
3. We've seen galleries come and go over the years. Some are shops, some are money-laundry-fronts , some can't wait to grow-up into fancy frame emporiums. Watch this space, which way will it go? Meanwhile, the contemporary ( & supplementary) show smacks of a patronising and cynical branding exercise- "I picked up a Preller at SMAC, have always wanted to own one, such a good investment... do you know the gallery, it's new? They have such way out stuff too, really cutting edge."
Well how would you go about selling art? Do you think it is so intrinsically deep that it has no appeal for wankers? It pretty much ONLY sells to wankers
o miles you're so rock 'n roll
They party harder than Tracy Emin? How the fuck would you know. Gratuitous exaggeration equals crap asslicking journalism equals big problem in South Africa. Get a grip

at least he made a pretty shitty show sound half decent
i thought it was a very good show
And just when I thought plagarism had become the only way to review an exhibition for M&G, Miles Keylock seems to have written his own piece instead of copy pasting the press releases. Do you think he actually went to see the exhibition or just spoke to one of the artists?
These artists all look like they are above average intelligence. So why don't they paint some paintings or sculpt some sculptures? Should they look to artists like Wayne Barker for inspiration? Make some real art!
yeah. lazy fucks. put the work back in work of art
Yes. Lazy fuckers. How dare these artists spend so much time thinking? Just do it. More art, less ideas.
yeah have an international introspective or something
children of satan, all of you
oh piss off I'm trying to think
thunk
there's enough ideas, assholes. The world needs more paintings and sculptures
Point made before. Duh
Starting a sharp shooter group that will take you fuckers out.I thought it was a very nice show too...
oh ed we know its you
THE BEST WAS THE FURNITURE! GREAT MAFIA CHAIRS, LIKE AN UPMARKET 'PRE-OWNED' CAR MART. PERHAPS THAT's THEIR SCHTICK; PRE-OWNED ART.
