CAPE REVIEWS

   [04.02.05] 'Hidden Treasures of Japanese Art' at the SA Jewish Museum
An exhibition of Japanese art currently on show at the SA Jewish Museum is an intriguing glimpse into 17th and 18th century legend, religion, mythology and folklore. Kim Gurney reviews.

   [04.02.05] Raymond Smith, Philip Barlow and Liza Grobler at the AVA
From riempie chairs to colour-drenched street scenes and witty drawings of existentialist angst, three artists show their latest work in the AVA's galleries. Kim Gurney reviews.

   [04.02.05] Hannelie Taute at João Ferreira
By Renée Holleman.

   [04.02.05] Curiosity CLXXV: A Paper Cabinet
Book review by Michelle Matthews.

GAUTENG REVIEWS

   [04.02.05] Daphne Prevoo at the Pretoria Art Museum
With her astute playfulness with taboos, familiar objects and art history, Daphne Prevoo realises a discourse both individual and personal.

   [04.02.05] Moshekwa Langa at the Goodman Gallery
'Backlash Blues' is the title of the current solo exhibition of work by Moshekwa Langa at Goodman Gallery, which takes its name from the artist's most recent foray into photolithography. Kresta Tyler Johnson considers his expressive use of linearity and the continued rise of this talented and versatile artist.

   [04.02.05] Paul Emmanuel at the Old Fort
Paul Emmanuel's transition from intimate intaglio images to large dramatic site-specific gesture has been accomplished without fanfare and noise, but rather with a maturity and vision that gives this relatively young artist a dose of credibility. Robyn Sassen reviews.

   [04.02.05] Mike Feldman at the Bensusan Museum
Trends, fads and experiments: Mike Feldman celebrates 50 years in the darkroom and the field. Robyn Sassen reviews.

   [04.02.05] Jacki McInnes at Gordart at Gordart
Robyn Sassen recently opened Jacki McInnes' exhibition at Gordart in Melville. The opportunity encouraged her to evaluate the position of critic, in terms of social responsibility, soft journalism and the patent dangers involved.

   [04.02.05] SABC corporate collection at the Johannesburg Art Gallery
The SABC's corporate collection celebrates ten years of democracy. A selection of 180 pieces includes well known works sitting cheek by jowl with lesser known ones, collectively writing a potent history of South African art and art collecting trends. Robyn Sassen reviews.
