VOLUNTEER GENERATION - HEADLINE STORIES AND REVIEWS

PET SHOP BOYS - YES, REVIEWED
It could have been as late as 2001 with Miss Kitten, or maybe earlier in 1999, with Basement Jaxx, but somewhere around 2000, a subtle shift occurred in dance music tastes - not that it was ever a homogenous entity to begin with – certainly not at the time anyway.

THE REAL HEROES
It is always exciting to stumble over a new talent like Clint Strydom, but it is not often that such photographic prowess grows silently in the background, away from the media centres of the world… and then explodes with such a distinctly fresh approach.

THE WERDMULLER CENTRE - WHY DID IT REALLY FAIL?
ILZE WOLFF, submits a paper presented to the South African Journal for Art History conference 2009 - 'Extraordinary Arti-facts' - on the contextual reasons behind the failure of one of South Africa's most exemplary modernist buildings, Roeloff Uitenbogaardt's WERDMULLER CENTRE.

WERDMULLER CENTRE - BYPASS? AMPUTATION? MUMMIFICATION?
Earlier in the year, a group of 4th and 5th year architecture students at the University of Cape Town undertook an elective design studio with Don Albert to assess and make recommendations towards the adaptive reuse of the economically defunct Werdmuller Centre in Clairmont, Cape Town.

KIRKEBY ON THE BRINK
Per Kirkeby is renown as one of Denmark's leading living artists. No surprise then that the English simply don't get him. Kirkeby - born 1938 - has struggled with his painting, sculpture and poetry over the last four decades and although internationally acclaimed (elsewhere) he has never had a major exhibition in the United Kingdom until now - at the Tate Modern no less.

GLASTO GIG HIGHLIGHTS IN SOUNDBYTES
There was simply too much going on at the Glastonbury Festival to cover in huge depth, so here we have an very edited account of the highs, mids and lows of the standout gigs:.

PRODIGY IGNITE GLASTONBURY
The normal procedure for "the press" (journos and photographers like yours truly) to cover a show at Glastonbury is within the confines of the press pit, i.e. in front of the barricades yet just below the stage itself, to afford a clean and safe view. screeming fans beyond...

WALKMAN - 30 YEARS ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE
30 years ago the walkman - the portable tape casette player - was launched as the in thing for the disco-pop generation

FUTURISTS IN REVIEW - IT AINT WHAT IT USED TO BE
The TATE MODERN'S current show FUTURISM brings out a few big guns, but doesn't create enough energy to convince this reviewer that the self - proclaimed avant garde movement spearheaded by Italian poet Marinetti almost a century ago was up to the hype of his original (rather manic and misogynistic) manifestoes.

BON VER - WEAVE AND WOO
After a forty-minute soundcheck peppered with embarrassing "check one's and twos" that the crowd rightly took the piss out of, one would have forgiven the couple of thousand people for being even more offhand towards these scruffy American's when they finally took up their positions on the Park's rather intimate stage. Not so. These disciples had waited patiently, one comes to understand, because acoustic and electronic perfection is so central to Bon Iver's genre defying style.

THE CHIMURENGA LIBRARY - RECLASSIFIED
PY-TV emerges parched from one of the Chimurenga Sessions currently on at the Cape Town Central Library with a clutch of questions posed to the design and production coordinator, Cape Town based artist Douglas Gimberg.

NO ANGEL - IAN HENDERSON.

EDUCATE & ACTIVATE - HEADLINE STORIES AND REVIEWS

DONTCHA KNOW IT'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT?
The wife and I went to see Pieter Dirk-Uys' 'Elections and Erections' at the Elizabeth Sneddon theatre at the Univeristy of KZN last week, and what a great show it was. PDU had the audience in stitches; he had us wide-eyed and thoughful, he had us howling like banshees.

EXPLORING ALTERNATIVE TERRAIN
UCT Architecture Undergrad HOD Dr. NIC COETZER explores the pedagogy of the Bartlett School (at the University College London) as a way to open debate within the Architecture Department at the University of Cape Town on what constitutes good design education.

A DREAM IS NOT A DREAM UNTIL IT IS DREAMT BY THE COMMUNITY
Your editor-in-chief visits the construction site of SA's Freedom Park Museum, commissioned through a consultative process advertised after an international competition did not yield a clear winner, and asks project architect DIETER BRANDT of OCA, "is it going to be any good?"

MASTERS OF THEIR UNIVERSE
RICHARD SMITH takes a journey through the 21st Century media and education landscape and emerges battle weary. It would appear that there are many dark forces trying to colonise your mind and the space it plays in! So when does the student become the Master?

GETTING EDUCATION RIGHT
BRUCE GOURLEY describes how education is too important to be left just to the educators and why we are all the stakeholders in the role education must play in South Africa

BUT WHAT HAS THIS GOT TO DO WITH DESIGN?
VINCENT TRUTER explains the process and discoveries made through an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural public space intervention spearheaded by Dutch Artist Fiona DeBell in a recent collaboration with the Vega Brand Communication School.

COME WITH ME TO THE DANCEFLOOR
News of a new Prodigy release always provokes a fresh outbreak of moonfaced anticipation from diehard fans of ‘Experience’ and ‘Jilted Generation’, who hold out for a return to the warped Korg synths and acid house stabs of those seminal albums.

WHY DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER FOOLS?
Ignorance may be bliss, but only for the ignorant. For the rest of us dealing with the unqualified, uninspired and plain incompetent makes performing to the professional standards to which we have been trained, a trial.

INFECTING THE CITY
Photography editor SHANNA JONES points her lens towards two of the performance pieces at the Spier Performing Arts Festival INFECTING THE CITY held in Cape Town in February. "EXILE" and "LIMBO" both deal with immigration, xenophobia, roots and the transient world we live in.
