NOT
JUST ANOTHER BIENNALE! CAPE IS LOOKING FOR
AN ART DIRECTOR FOR A 2006 MANIFESTATION
CAPE is a biennial programme that is not just
another biennale. CAPE uses Cape Town as a
laboratory and catalyst for contemporary African
cultural interventions and art practices. Cape
critically explores the tensions between local
cultural practices and global art circuits.
CAPE is looking for an Art Director or Art
Directors' Team for its first international
art manifestation, set to take place in Cape
Town during September 2006. The Art Director
or Art Directors' Team will develop a manifestation
of art works, practices, and interventions
that engages with the texture of Cape Town,
and that explores contemporary African art
as an expansive field of practice.

Registration
has now also opened for SESSIONS eKAPA 2005,
an international art meeting held
at the Cape Town International Convention Centre,
Cape Town, on 4-6 December 2005, and with the
theme of "Mzantsi: (Re)Locating Contemporary
African Art Practice".
SESSIONS eKAPA 2005 features an intensive
3 day programme of dialogues and workshops,
panel discussion and site specific minilaboratories
devoted to contemporary art practice in Africa,
exploring specifically the interface between
local art practices and global art circuits.
The meeting forms an integral part of the development
of the 2006 manifestation.
Speakers range from leading art theorists,
writers and curators to cultural provocateurs
from diverse disciplines and African forums.
Discussions explore new models of large scale
curation and alternatives to the international
exhibition, transgressions of the boundaries
of contemporary art and activism, and cutting
edge African forums for multidisciplinarity
and networking.
