The new Johannesburg Art Strip

a testimony to one landlords vision
Taryn Cohn talks to Nazir Mussa of Valprop, owners of Chester Court, 142 Jan Smuts Avenue home to The Art Strip

(Clockwise) David Krut Projects, Warren Siebrits Modern and Contemporary Art, looking up Jan Smuts, inside the Resolution Gallery, ArtSpace Jhb, Art Boppers at the opening of the relocated ArtSpace Gallery,
Kim Sacks Gallery and Goodman Gallery border on the artstrip.

Spending a day on the streets of
Parkwood, Johannesburg, will
reveal the way that visual art has
been used in urban planning. It is
a catalyst for changing the change
the face of a neighborhood and has
had very real economic spin-offs
for a host of other businesses and
industries.
Chester Court, 142 Jan Smuts
Avenue, like the rest of its four
immediate neighbors between
Wells Avenue and Bolton Avenue,
is a typical city structure- a block
of flats above shop frontage on this
busy Johannesburg street. It was
previously home to a motley crew
of traders.
For several years, a billiards shop
sat alongside a tailor from another
era, nestled between Warren Sieb-
rits Modern and Contemporary,
David Krut Projects on the one side,
and Adult World on the other.
The sidewalks, when they are not
littered with rubbish waiting for
Pikitup’s irregular visits, are home
to the local community of homeless
youths, some of whom have been
living here for up to 15 years.
In 2007 the building was purchased
by Nazir Mussa, of Valprop.
Valprop was established in 1995,
to deliver affordable rental housing
in the near city areas of Johannes-
burg. According to their company
profile, they have “without any
precedent to follow” learnt “about
upgrading derelict buildings. “
Before long the old tenants moved
on, and in the space of a few
months, each of the four shop front-
ages were let.
Each was let to an art gallery.
Both Warren Siebrit’s Modern and
Contemporary Art and David Krut
Projects took additional spaces,
they were joined by Resolution, a
new gallery focusing on digital and
new media art, and most recently,
the relocated Artspace gallery.
Joining Kim Sacks and the Good-
man Gallery on this portion of the
“strip” and further down Jan Smuts
Avenue, the Everard Read gallery
and David Brown Fine Art, (opened
only seven months ago), these gal-
leries now form an industry hub.
A short perpendicular extension
down 7th Avenue Parktown North,
includes Gallery Momo and Moja
Modern in this diverse cross section
of the industry.
Collectively they represent much of
what South African art has to offer
in all genres, as well as some of
the most influential entities in the
contemporary art business.
142 Jan Smuts Avenue is a
testament to the long term vision
about the capacity of the business
of art to influence the business of
property.
With Artspace boasting more than
200 guests to it’s opening on the
5th March 2008, the Johannesburg
public have welcomed the change.
“These businesses here have
always been important to the
industry, ” says Teresa Lizamore, of
her neighbours, ” but now that there
are so many new spaces joining
the older ones, it seems like we
have developed a real critical mass.
There is now a more cohesive
offering of quality art venues for the
Johannesburg audience. “
Mussa owns several buildings in
Johannesburg. One of them, also
further down Jan Smuts Avenue
houses the recently opened Art
Etc. directed by well known ex
Johannesburg Art Gallery curator,
David Brodie. Mussa cites the
quality of audience that this busi-
ness was bringing to his building
as a key reason for focusing on art
galleries as a way to increase the
property value at his Chester Court
location.
According to Mussa, these com-
mercial tenants brings up the tone
of the area, thus making it more
attractive to residential tenants.
“For the kind of market I want to
attract to these flats, the tenants
downstairs are important” says
Mussa, who will soon begin a full
scale renovation of the flats above.
Mussa’s vision has not been unap-
preciated by other local businesses.
Sale E Pepe, a small restaurant
and, the only one in the immediate
vicinity, has noted an increased
trade and on evenings of openings,
the crowds who spill onto the pave-
ment soon move up the street for a
late evening meal or cup of coffee.
It is also the venue of choice for
some of the galleries needing to
entertain or host a meeting.
The proprietor of the local dry
cleaning business, who has been
trading here for several decades,
believes that the new focus of
the strip is a positive influence on
upgrading up the strip. “ They are
businesses that keep the pave-
ments clean” he notes.
While the recent Artfair has put
Johannesburg on the map market
internationally, locals audiences
now have much easier access to
see what all the fuss is about!
The Namibian Art Scene at a glance
By John Sampson, Director of the Kê-rāh-dāh Gallery of Contemporary Art, and art historian
The National Art Gallery of Na-
mibia, Windhoek.
The fine art landscape in Namibia,
in recent years, has been charac-
terized by the demise of a number
of galleries, and this has impacted
significantly on the promotion of
visual art as a vibrant and neces-
sary component in Namibian soci-
ety, as well as on the tiered gallery
structures that should pertain.
Windhoek, the capital, has the
National Art Gallery of Namibia as
the national institution, with the
Franco Namibian Cultural Centre
Gallery providing exhibition space
for students and young inexperi-
enced artists. The Omba Gallery,
situated in the Old Brewery
Complex towards the southern end
of town, provides very limited ex-
hibition space and also commits to
showing craft from all the regions.
Kendzia Gallery is not mainsteam,
and is not in the central business
district so it misses out on the ebb
and flow of the art fraternity. The
recently launched Kê-rāh-dāh
Gallery of Contemporary Art, an
initiative by the artist John Samp-
son, is a niche gallery, situated
just outside of the central business
district, and appeals to hardcore
purists rather than to general
popular taste.
The situation at the coast is quite
loose in its focus on visual art. The
Swakopmund Arts Association
New Creativity Coaching designed for artists upliftment
offered by Clinical Psychologist Terri Broll
Clinical Psychologist Terri Broll’s
type of coaching offers guidance
and techniques for resolving
blocks, increasing work productiv-
ity and developing confidence in
the market place.
Terri Broll, a Clinical Psychologist
with twenty five years of experi-
ence in her field, became intensely
interested in the relationship
between artist and artmaking when
she returned to University to com-
plete a Masters degree in Fine Art.
Being both a painter and a mental
health professional, she became
fascinated with the complex and
often agonizing relationship that
artists have with their work.
The interactive space between art-
ist and artmaking is both complex
and risky, she maintains. Like any
relationship it harnesses all of the
artists’ conflicts and insecurities,
operates out of Woerman House,
but could benefit from more
public support. In the centre of this
coastal town there are now four (4)
galleries, which cater to both the
tourist sector and the serious col-
lector, as a survival strategy. Die
Muschel (The Mussel), The Hobby
Horse, Galerie Rapmund, and the
recently launched Fine Art Gallery,
are all located within meters of
each other along the axes of inter-
est in the town.
Most of the activity in the Namibian
art scene takes place in Windhoek,
the capital, with the National Art
Gallery of Namibia being a primary
venue for locals and tourists alike.
It is also the only large exhibition
space with a national character
to which experienced and mature
artists would likely gravitate.
The NAGN, by its very nature, is
compelled to accommodate artists
from different strata of develop-
ment, which renders its program
of annual exhibitions extremely
uneven and inconsistent as a
result. Since it does not seek to
position itself primarily as an
institution to which established,
mature and already successful
artist would preferably aspire to
exhibit, the accommodation of
works of poor quality and standard
from the lower levels of develop-
ment, have gradually eroded the
integrity and reputation of what,
should essentially have been an
institution of primary interest in the
visual art field.
The NAGN cannot extricate itself
from commitment to the grass
roots development intentions of the
art fraternity and it, therefore, falls
to the private sector to contribute
to alleviating a difficult condition,
which brings with it problems of a
structural nature, and this impacts
on the general development and
advancement of contemporary art
in Namibia.
The fact that the University of
Namibia does not offer a Fine Art
especially around themselves and
their creative potential. Serious
artists have a deep and fearful
connection with their own creativity
and there are good psychological
reasons for this. Creativity often
confronts artists with both the
potential and deficiencies of their
inner selves. Making art that is
intended to transform and chal-
lenge the viewer makes particular
kinds of psychic demands on
artists, both terrifying and exultant.
Often, they live a cyclical existence
– sometimes fulfilled and high and
other times, low and pessimistic.
Because they may have difficulty
negotiating this, they can become
depressed, alienated and suffer
interpersonal problems in marriage
and family. This dilemma would
also afflict performing artists and
creative writers. The unfortunate
thing, she has found, is that artists
suffer alone with this and are
often amazed when they come
across other artists who feel the
same way. Psychology has an
enormous amount to offer working
artists. In the United States,
Creativity Coaching has fast been
developing into an acceptable
support system for people in the
Arts. To her knowledge, there are
few if any resources such as these
Degree curriculum, compounds an
already complex set of circum-
stances. Only a small number of
Namibians hold degrees in Fine
Art, and further study towards
post-graduate qualification can
only be done beyond the borders
of the country. The osmotic
process in the visual art field is
excruciatingly slow, and the effects
are already impacting significantly
on the development of a Namibian
visual language that resonates
with cross-cultural identities within
a very small population of roughly
1,6 million people.
The Namibia Arts Council was es-
tablished recently to impact on the
provision of material and financial
resources across all disciplines,
and to engage at a facilitatory
level in order to propel the nascent
talent and potential onto a more
visible and recognizable stage for
future development.
Namibia’s Fine Art sector, to all
intents and purposes, is still poised
at a very elementary developmen-
tal level. That there is talent is not
to be disputed, but the structures
for development are not in place.
Over the past twelve (12) months
the exhibitions at the various exhi-
bition spaces have been nothing
more than regular ‘showings’ with
very little aesthetic merit. Artists
such as Silke Berens provided
one of the rare glimpses of what Lize Hugo in Paris - Photographer: André Heyns. (Bottom left )Picasso’s Two women running on the beach

KUNS van sowat R1,2 miljoen is
vanjaar by die 14de Klein Karoo
Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK)
verkoop. Dit is die grootste bedrag
tot nog toe wat op dié fees deur
visuele kuns ingebring is.
’n Portret van William Kentridge
deur die kunstenaar Paul Emsley,
wat met die BP-toekenning (die
grootste ter wêreld vir portretkuns)
vereer is, het die groot hupstoot
gegee deurdat dit vir ’n bedrag van
R195 000 verkoop is.
Dié houtskool-op-papier-werk in
die tentoonstelling Muse 08 is van
die galery íart in Loopstraat, Kaap-
stad, deur ’n anonieme Kapenaar
Kuns op KKNK laat duisende inrol
gekoop.
Die tentoonstelling Kruispad met
sowat 66 kunswerke van die
kunstenaar Hanneke Benadé is
haas uitverkoop.
Theo Kleynhans, kurator van die
­KKNK se visuele kunsprogram die
afgelope drie jaar, meen dit is uit-
sonderlik dat mense in ’n moeilike
ekonomie nog die beursie ooprits
om kuns te koop.
Dit is vanjaar Kleynhans se laaste
jaar as kurator. In die afgelope drie
jaar het hy veral skilderkuns weer
prominent op die doek geplaas
en het hy feeskunstenaars soos
André Naudé en Judy Woodborne
gelok. Vanjaar se feeskunstenaar,
Lawrence Lemoana, wat die Suid-
Afrikaner se liefde vir spansport
maar ook die kuddementaliteit
heerlik opstuur, is op 26 die
jongste feeskunstenaar tot nog
toe. Hy vertrek binnekort vir drie
maande na Switserland, waar hy
aan slypskole gaan deelneem.
Onder Kleynhans se hand is
keramiekkuns van onder andere
Ann Marais, Evette Weyers,
Dianne Heesom-Green en Hennie
Meyer sentraal geplaas, so ook
fotokuns met uitstallings van
Adrienne van Eeden, Philip de Vos
en Franci Cronjé. Verlede jaar het
hy en die kurator Chris Diedericks
Flesh, ’n sterk tentoonstelling van
erotiese kuns met ’n ouder-
domsperk, aangebied, asook ’n
tentoonstelling van kitch (onder ku-
ratorskap van Gordon Froud) wat
die tonge laat klap én mense laat
lag het. Werke van die ontslape
kunstenaars soos Alexis Preller,
Christo Coetzee, en Sanlam se
tentoonstelling van Adriaan van
Zyl se werk, asook dié van die ou
meesters Maggie Laubser, Gerard
Sekoto en Johannes Meintjes
uit die Sanlam-kunsversameling,
was ook in sy termyn op die fees
te sien. Kleynhans meen hy gaan
nou tyd hê om weer op sy eie kuns
te fokus.
Werke van hom geïnspireer deur
Arthur Rimbaud se Illuminations is
tans in die Rust-en-Vrede-galery
in Durbanville te sien. Aanstaande
maand stal hy uit in die galery artb
in Bellville en op die Inniebos-fees
later vanjaar.

More artists see similarities Don’t be conned out by the latest art scam
to their work at Mr. Price Eric Moller writes to us regarding the latest scam that almost worked on him

Denise-Louise from Hermanus wrote to us this month with alleged
similarities between her work and Mr. Price’s designs
Example of Denise-Louise work that she claims were copied by Mr. Price
I was fascinated to read about
Peter Pharoah’s experience with
Mr. Price. (Issue 2 Vol 3)
While I am hardly of the caliber of
Mr. Pharoah, I have also had the
experience of walking into their
store in Hermanus and seeing one
of my designs for sale without my
knowledge or permission.
In my case, the dirty was done in
such a way that the perpetrators
were legally covered – I sought
advice and heard that if there is
a 15% change in presentation, it
becomes an ethical rather than a
legal issue. certainly, I could have
fought it, if I had about R90million
for legal fees and a whole lot of
free time!
My design was originally on fabric,
while the Mr. Price item was a
cheaply-framed, nasty plastic-
ceramic 3D picture, meant to be
hung on a kitchen wall, I suppose.
the steam spirals I had painted
were rendered in wire, and my
hand-done calligraphic writing
had been typed with a similar cal-
ligraphic computer-font and printed
above.
My sympathies to Mr. Pharoah
- and I bet there are a whole lot of
other people who had a similar ex-
perience. I now tell my buyers that
if the item looks like mine but does
not have my name hand-signed
on it, it has been born without my
permission.
take heart! the universe, which
looks at intent as well as action,
will sort the perps out accordingly.

Dear Fellow-Artists and Art lovers
This might be worth passing along
to everyone on your data base:
This week I was nearly the
victim of a huge Internet Scam
– fortunately my natural suspicion
and a moment of clarity prevailed
and I checked out the client on the
Internet. What a can of worms this
opened!
The scam is complicated, but basi-
cally it goes like this:
You are contacted via email by
someone who sounds very legit.
– email address, physical address,
tel no’s and all. They want to
buy art. They even present you
with credit card details – possibly
asking you to split the charge over
two cards; one might go through or
even both. The cards are obviously
stolen. Well, once you’re ready to
ship, they might ask you whether
you could help them out (blah-
blah, long and sad story) by buying
some electronic equipment in your
own country and ship together with
the art. Well, to make a long story
short – you suddenly find yourself
without your art, and fraudulent
credit card transactions to deal
with. Sometimes they work it so
cleverly, by over-paying, that you
end up ‘owing’ them money.
The moral of the story: sell through
reputable galleries, associations
and recognized internet sites.
Rather pay that commission and
stay safe.

Hi Eric...
I’m happy to see you are “do-
ing your homework” to protect
yourself...
From the short email you sent
below, to me, yes it sounds like
the typical scam. Most scammers
also use 2 first names... just like
“john gary”.
Whatever credit card did go
through... I’d call that credit card
company and indicate you think
you are being scammed... give
them details and they will follow up
for you... Clients just don’t do this
Eric... they do not ask you to buy
laptops for them... they do not ask
you split payments onto 2 different
cards. The client name should
match the credit card, etc...
You were right to go searching
for more information... what they
ultimately want, is the laptop.
Computers they can easily sell and
make money on... the charge card
I’m sure is stolen...
Good luck...

APS auction to raise funds for student printmakers

Patrick Burnett
The Artist Proof Studio (APS) in
Johannesburg will be auctioning
over 150 artworks in April in a
drive to raise bursary funds for
between 60 to 80 printmaking
students studying at the institution.
The Newtown-based studio will
hold the auction on April 10. The
auction will feature works by
well-known artists like William
Kentridge, Sam Nhlengethwa,
Wim Botha, Robert Hodgins, Brett
Murray and more.
The auction comes at a time
when the studio has been hit by
a MAPPP SETA bursary funding
crisis, which had provided the
majority of bursary funding in
previous years.
Anne Gordon, a consultant helping
the studio with the auction, said
any artists who had ever had
anything to do with the studio had
been approached and they had
been “hugely supportive” of the
auction in terms of donating works
to go under the hammer.
“The studio is one of the few
places in South Africa where
young South Africans can study
and they (the artists) recognize
that they want to protect the
institution,” she said.
Gordon said the auction was aim-
ing to raise R360,000 to support
between 60 to 80 first, second
and third year students studying
printmaking at APS. Auctioned
artworks would be priced starting
at R500 and the artwork would be
on display for preview at APS on
Wednesday, 9 April from 10am to
3pm.
APS, founded in 1991 by Kim
Berman and Nhlanhla Xaba, is
a community printmaking studio
operating as a centre for artists
to gather, learn and find a way to
make a living through art. It runs
education and outreach pro-
grammes that target people mostly
from disadvantaged communities.

Artspace takes up a new home
at Shop 1, 142 Chester Court,
Jan Smuts Avenue, alongside
industry heavyweights such as
Warren Siebrits Modern and
Contemporary, and David Krut Art
Projects and Gallery, and opposite
the Goodman Gallery. The venue
has been designed by architects
Mashabane Rose, architects
responsible for the Apartheid Mu-
seum, Hector Pietersen Museum,
as well as several significant art
related spaces including University
of Johannesburg’s Art Centre and
Goodman Gallery Cape.
“We are very excited about
this wonderful step in the life of
Artpsace.”
Says Lizamore, “The new venue
will position us in the heart of the
visual art activity in Johannesburg,
allowing us to contribute more eas-
ily to the development of a vibrant
hub. We will also now be more
easily accessible to our patrons
and audience, who have loyally
supported the gallery for seven
years.”
The industry has experienced
rapid growth over recent years,
and with various city developments
underway such as the Gautrain,
2010, and the progress made in
the CBC’s regeneration, has made
this the right time to invest in our
next step.”
Lizamore cites the industries
growth over recent years to
increased interest in local art by
international markets, which has
led to an increased confidence by
local investors and art buyers.
“South African art is still very
undervalued financially, while the
quality is on a par with interna-
tional standards. This makes it
an attractive investment prospect
in the face of the rising prices of
American and British art, which
has dominated international mar-
kets for some time. “
The gallery relocation will be
accompanied by a new visual
identity for Artspace, a dynamic
website, quarterly newsletter and
an integrated marketing campaign,
which will extend the reach of the
gallery, and benefits offered to
exhibiting artists.
The new gallery opens on the
5th March at 18h30 with a show,
entitled Space Fusion, a group ex-
hibition embracing the integration
of space through the integration
of photography, sculpture and
industrial design.
