Firm binding, clean inside copy. *** "Season South Africa is a major program of contemporary visual and performing arts that runs from September 2004 through January 2005. Launched by the Museum for African Art and The Cathedral of St. John the Divine during the year that South Africa is commemorating its first decade of democracy, Season South Africa showcases some of that country's most gifted and acclaimed contemporary visual and performing artists chosen by an international team of curators. The visual arts exhibition, Personal Affects: Power and Poetics in Contemporary South African Art, presents newly commissioned and recently produced works in various media by 17 South African artists. The common thread throughout the exhibition is the higly personal point of departure of the artists' working methods that are informed by their varied experiences as South Africans. Volume I also features an introduction by the exhibition curators, as well as various exploratory and insightful texts." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The enigma of the rainbow nation: contemporary South African at the crossroads of history, by Okwui Enwezor; Towards an 'adversarial aesthetics': a personal response to personal affects, by Liese van der Watt; The artists, interviewed by Tracy Murinik: Jane Alexander - Wim Botha - Steven Cohen - Churchill Madikida - Mustafa Maluka - Thando Mama - Samson Mudzunga - Jay Pather - Johannes Phokela - Robin Rhode - Claudette Schreuders - Berni Searle - Doreen Southwood - Clive van den Berg - Minnette Vari - Diane Victor - Sandile Zulu.
