CAPE REVIEWS

   [04.03.05] Jan van der Merwe at the Sanlam Art Gallery
Jan van der Merwe has created a sculptural theatre without actors at the Sanlam Art Gallery in his exhibition of installations called 'Unknown'. Kim Gurney gets to grips with his oeuvre of rusty art.

   [04.03.05] Malcolm Payne at the UCT Irma Stern Museum
Lloyd Pollak is overwhelmed by the visual cornucopia with dark undertones that characterises Malcolm Payne's 'Illuminated Manuscripts'

   [04.03.05] 'Sweet Nothings' and 'Rugby vs. Soccer' at Bell-Roberts
Bell-Roberts Gallery hosts two contrasting photographic shows: an all-female take on romance curated by Sanell Aggenbach alongside Pieter Badenhorst's male perspective on rugby and soccer. Kim Gurney reviews.

GAUTENG REVIEWS

   [04.03.05] Alison Kearney's 'Portable Hawkers' Museum' at JAG
Alison Kearney's 'Portable Hawkers' Museum' enjoys a retrospective. Having spent time in Switzerland it pays allegiance to the European continent, but returns home, in Robyn Sassen's estimation, more mature than ever

   [04.03.05] The MTN Collection at the Pretoria Art Museum
'Resistance, Reconciliation, Reconstruction': grand moments in SA history on which MTN hangs corporate acquisitions. In showing this curated collection and producing a catalogue, MTN honours its policy toward the arts with style.

   [04.03.05] 'Stukkies'at Artspace
'Stukkies', the current exhibition at Artspace, is a poetic interpretation of the word as seen through the work of three Capetonian artists interpreting their visions through vibrant and bold works. Kresta Tyler Johnson reviews

   [04.03.05] TUT University students strut their stuff in Johannesburg
Tshwane University of Technology graduate and post graduate students exhibit at two venues in Johannesburg with mixed success. Kresta Tyler reviews.

KWAZULU-NATAL REVIEWS

   [04.03.05] Coral Spencer at artSPACE
Dineo Bopape remains largely unconvinced by Coral Spencer's tribute to the domestic worker who helped raise her.

   [04.03.05] Brent Meistre at NSA
Brent Meistre gets to grips with the discourse of photography in his show which plays with absence and presence. Camilla Copley reviews.
