MultiMedia Statements

Posted on 29. Jul, 2009 by admin in Avusa Media News

Taxi ranks are “colourful” places at the best of times but “Digital Manipulations” in the Baragwanath Taxi Rank by Nils Eichberg’s make quite a statement. Visit the site and see how his digitally manipulated photographs that focus on the history of colour add a hue and texture to the permanent public art installation at the Bara Taxi rank.

Soft Serve is a multimedia performance group that combines music, sound and visuals to create live gigs that aim to rock the senses, trigger major synaptic leaps whilst making statements about everything from ice cream to reality. The group are Jonathan Crossley (guitars), Janus van der Merwe (sax,keys and voice), Isaac Klawansky (drums), Stefan Henrico (bass) and Pippa Stalker (animation and visuals). Termed slightly crazy and over the top, if you want to experience their sound, hunt them down on YouTube.


Zander Blom, Jan-Henri Booyens and Michael MacGarry make up AVANT CAR GUARD, a Joburg based trio/collective whose work spans a multidisciplinary spectrum that includes photography, sculpture, performance, multiples, installation and painting. Particularly interesting is that they exhibit and author their work as a singular artist – death of the artistic ego? Self reflective and satirical, their work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally – check out their latest work that was part of the Joburg Art Fair at www.whatiftheworld.com or www.avantcarguard.com.
