Raymond Preston at PhotoZA
Sunday Times photographer Raymond Preston shows Long Live, a retrospective of political photography from 1978-1994. The exhibition is a collection of 117 black and white photographs in A2 format, depicting the apartheid struggle and a mix of important political players and ordinary citizens caught up in the mayhem of that time.
The photographs featured in the exhibition show famous figures in a different light - Nelson Mandela's naivety just after his release, the young and tentative Cyril Ramaphosa and Sydney Mufamadi in St Mary's Cathedral in Johannesburg, Oliver Tambo coming out of hiding to attend the funeral of fallen comrades after the SADF raid in Lesotho. The photographs also show ordinary people as they witnessed the slow fall of apartheid.
Preston's photographs have appeared in many local newspapers and in various international magazines including Time, Newsweek and Stern. Preston has won more than 12 major photographic awards during his career, for both political and sports photographs.

Paul Emmanuel at the Standard Bank Gallery
Air on the Skin is the title of the new solo show by artist/printmaker Paul Emmanuel, showing downstairs at the Standard Bank Gallery. Emmanuel, the recent winner of the Schumann-Sasol WAM wax art competition 2002, will showcase his prize-winning work together with a newly commissioned work by Sasol. Also on display will be Emmanuel's series of intimate, exquisitely detailed original etchings and lithographs as well as an illuminated installation of page-proofs taken from his soon to be released artist's book, Cathexis.
Says the artist: "Among many other things, Air on the Skin is about exposure. Clothes are our outer coverings; they determine what we want the world to see of us, either by circumstance or choice, forming first impressions. They are an outer skin, which, like the dried remnants of insect exo-skeleton or snake scales, are shed, washed, re-worn or replaced. Clothing is intricately involved in our presentation and transformation."

Woven Images at the Standard Bank Gallery
Woven Images: Four decades of South African art through tapestry includes the works recently shown at the Grahamstown festival as well as older pieces. Presented by the Stephens Tapestry Studio, established in 1963, the retrospective includes woven interpretations of works by Cecil Skotnes, Gerard Sekoto, Judith Mason, Robert Hodgins, William Kentridge, Penny Siopis and Karel Nel.
The studio's philosophy is to encourage the awareness of tapestry through the excellence of technique and interpretation of an artwork. It endeavours to ensure that the tapestries produced are an extension of the original work - that they are an artwork of independent value. Works are executed mainly in hand-spun mohair, chosen for its vibrancy of colour.

Origins of Form at Warren Siebrits
The highly anticipated follow-up to Warren Siebrits's superlative debut show, 'States of Emergence'. Taking its cue from the initiatives of the Amadlozi, a grouping of young sculptors who banded together in 1963, the show looks at the achievement of successive generations of sculptors and their contribution to the form and content of local sculpture.
The show includes representative works by Edoardo Villa, Cecil Skotnes, Sydney Kumalo, Cyprian Shilakoe, Zimbabwe's Nicholas Mukomberanwa, Jackson Hlungwane, Nelson Mukhuba and Johannes Maswanganyi. As Siebrits writes in the accompanying catalogue: "In our general spirit of inferiority we continue to wait for international approval and acceptance before we are prepared to acknowledge aspects of our own heritage." Both timely and superbly pieced together, this show offers a good insight into a somewhat unacknowledged aspect of our artistic heritage.
Opens: November 7
Closes: January 25, 2003
