They will be asked to consider the nature of their artistic production and where to appropriately place it within the art market.

How to set their goals and what strategies to apply to successfully achieve these will be discussed. Topics will cover the ‘business of art’ and how to successfully engage with it.

The seminar will be stimulating, informative and interactive. It will provide a platform for participants to put forward their particular concerns and challenges and get the benefit of the presenters’ input on these.

The emphasis is on providing practical and useful information on how to negotiate the ‘business‘ side of art; how to build and conduct their careers within the arts sector. The range of topics will offer relevant information to participants to enable them to pursue successful art careers. The course material has been developed from the presenters own experience gained by engaging with the art industry in various capacities over a number of years.

The following are the topics:
• Decisions on how to engage professionally outside of the studio
• How to establish oneself as a professional artist
• Defining a strategy related to one’s individual career plan

They also reflect on the lives, dreams and aspirations of these photographers as the new observers, producers and commentators.

Domestic violence comes under the spotlight in Domestic: A Women’s Day Exhibition at GoetheonMain from 6 to 28 August.

Domestic violence thrives in South Africa. Those who are not directly involved tend to ignore it, and those who are, would rather not talk about it. The topic is shrouded in a secrecy motivated amongst others by intimidation, shame and the fear of stigmatisation. Sometimes financial dependence prevents victims from speaking out, at other times cultural expectations are to blame, with many factors adding to the already complex relationship between victim, perpetrator and the outside world.

For Domestic, ten female artists including Jodi Bieber, Reshma Chhiba, Zanele Muholi, Alison Kearney and Gabrielle Goliath will exhibit work that is the visual expression of a personal dialogue each one has conducted with a woman who is in some way affected by, or victim of domestic violence.

Curators, Jacki McInnes and Melissa Mboweni, believe that by telling the particular stories of affected individuals, the exhibition will have more relevance for people who may themselves be affected. In addition, the idea of ‘individual stories’ aims to dispel the myth that women affected by domestic violence have character defects and in some way ‘bring domestic violence upon themselves’. The curators say: ‘South Africa boasts one of the most progressive Constitutions in the world and yet our advancement towards human dignity, safety and personal fulfilment will continue to be dogged as long as prejudice, ignorance and social inequality muddy the waters’.

The curators hope to stimulate a dialogue that encourages an understanding of the circumstances and rationales behind domestic abuse. Visual art is able to speak a universal language and can also provide a less threatening space for negotiation on matters not easily verbalised. For these reasons McInnes and Mboweni believe that the show can play a vital role in the creation of public awareness where theorising and promulgating of laws often fail.

Exhibition opens: Thursday 6 August at 18h30.
Artists’ walkabout: Saturday 15 August at 12h00.
GoetheonMain, 245 Main St, in downtown Johannesburg.

The Killarney Mall Arts Forum is celebrating Women’s Day with painter Fiona Couldridge’s most recent exhibition, titled Exposition.

Be sure to make your way to Killarney Mall between 11 and 17 August to view Couldridge’s collection of unique pieces.

Please also diarise an explorative evening of her art on Thursday, 13 August at 6pm for 6:30pm, opposite the CNA at Killarney Mall.

Fiona Couldridge was born in Johannesburg. She completed both her BA Honours and Masters degrees in Fine Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand. Couldridge is an award-winning artist who has achieved both local and international acclaim. She is known for her high-relief, small-scale paintings.

In this exhibition, the title ‘Exposition’ holds many interpretations: a display, an exposure, an explanation. It also suggests the way in which new archaeological finds constantly re-assess the information and ‘truth’ regarding the origins of humankind. Religious associations are playfully suggested as ‘Exposition’ also connotes the Eucharistic adoration.

The body of work comprises black and white paintings that have been sourced and manipulated from toy skeletons and skulls. These macabre objects of play are covered in white paint and pressed into black bed-sheets. The toys are ferociously pressed and prodded into the surface, their imprints denoting presence and absence. The resulting smeared and distorted images are moulded over with plaster of Paris, and then once dry, are framed and painted into. The artworks are shrouds of a sort, residues of partial and disjointed physical and psychological excavations.

Booking is essential. If you wish to attend the event on Thursday, 13 August, please contact Roxy Gavson on 011 646 4657 or kmmarketing@cityprop.co.za.

An Italian folklore act that regularly appears at the Vatican, Storici Sbandieratori Della Contrade Di Cori, is set to steal the show at the South African Tattoo.

The Tattoo will be staged at Montecasino from 9-13 September this year.

Making their first-ever appearance in South Africa, the Cori group provide a spectacular display of a mediaeval tradition that dates back to the 10th and 9th century BC, pre-dating the foundation of Rome.

Through the interplay of the shrill, clear sounds of trumpets and the low rhythmic beat of drums; with the gorgeous colours of the costumes and the breathtaking flight and play of the flags, the group conjures up an atmosphere of days gone by.

“No-one who saw last year’s inaugural South African Tattoo will forget the performance of the Top Secret Drum Corps, who stole the hearts of our audiences with their display of precision drumming.

“If possible, Storici Sbandieratori Della Contrade Di Cori are even more spectacular – and they are just one of the international acts we have lined up for Tattoo-goers this year,” says Simon Carter, the executive producer of the South African Tattoo.

He adds: “We are immensely proud of two things this year: the official participation of the South African National Defence Force; and the quality of the international acts we have drawn.

“Apart from the Italian folklorists, we have the Rugamba Drummers from Burundi; and the New Guard USA Rifle Drill Duo, who hold 13 Guinness World Records. Having official SANDF involvement is a huge coup for us and opens many doors to ensure that the 2009 Tattoo will be even better than the show which opened this event last year.”

The Storici Sbandieratori Delle Contrade di Cori group was founded in September 1976 by a group of young men who wanted to reintroduce the medieval art of waving of the flag.

The Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition is gearing up to ensure Africa’s music industry is able to compete globally and meet international challenges.

The section 21 company is again hosting a conference, trade fair and showcase - Moshito ’09 – that will take place at Museum Africa in Newtown, Johannesburg from Wednesday 2 September to Saturday 5 September.

Simply known as Moshito (meaning “rhythm” in Sepedi), this is the key part of a full calendar of South African, African and international events that Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition representatives take part in throughout the year.

“For us, the September event is the culmination of everything that we do as an organisation from year-to-year,” says Moshito chairman, Andre Le Roux.

“We’re confident that the 2009 event is going to deliver a stimulating and engaging conference programme, a really substantial expo, excellent live showcases and enjoyable fringe events. We are intent on working even harder to safeguard Moshito’s reputation as the leading music industry event in Africa capable of attracting a global audience.”

Already the yearly Moshito event has grown substantially in size, as recent statistics show. In 2008 the number of delegates grew from 635 the year before to 728, with representatives from nine South African provinces, 11 African countries, Europe, Australia and Brazil.

What’s more the Expo has also seen significant growth with the number of exhibitors in 2008 up to 43 (compared to 2007’s 29) – and even more expected in 2009, ensuring delegates and public visitors get real insight into the organisations and companies that are working in the African music industry.

“We’re aiming even higher this year,” attests Le Roux. “With the global economic recession and the pressures on the music industry both in Africa and abroad it’s imperative Moshito offers the space for valuable networking and information sharing and gathering.”

In this keen focus on the “Business of Music”, Moshito’s vision is in tandem with that of the national government.

The Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture, Paul Mashatile, made specific reference to Moshito at the Budget Vote of the Department of Arts And Culture.

“The music industry is a key growth sector for the development of small to medium enterprises,” Mashatile said. “We will continue to host the annual Moshito Conference and Exhibition which has become the key African continent music exhibition and marketing point,” he added. “South Africa will continue to participate at the Marché International du Disque et de l’Edition Musicale (MIDEM)-the most prestigious music trade-show in the world. MIDEM is held annually in France and attracts in excess of 10 000 music business practitioners who showcase their products. The aim of our participation is to market and promote South African music abroad and learn from our peers so that we can be globally competitive.”

Mashatile also made reference to South Africa’s place as the “Country of Honour” at MIDEM in 2010. “This means that we will be given the opportunity for a full marketing and promotion of South African music through live events, publicity, exclusive branding and thus providing an undivided attention from top executives in music business across the world.”

In fact, working hand in hand with global music markets like MIDEM is part of the Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition’s ongoing work since the inaugural Moshito in 2003.

In 2007, Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition engaged with WAMI (Australia), Popkomm (Germany), WOMEX (Spain) and MIDEM. Over the past year, relationships with MIDEM, WOMEX and Babel (France) have been further strengthened with the aim of creating business and networking opportunities for the South African music industry. In addition, Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition has been part of the setting up of the Indian Ocean Music Network, linking the East and West Africa music industries.

These are just some of the ongoing activities the organization is engaged in – and in South Africa, it has already been involved in the establishment of the South African Music Export Council (SAMEX), the Association of Independent Record Companies (AIRCO) and the Music Manager’s Forum (MMFSA). All of these initiatives are overseen by the newly appointed Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition General Manager, Lee Walters who is assisted by the Moshito board, led by Le Roux.

One of Moshito’s primary objectives in 2009 in the months leading up to Moshito 09 are the music business workshops conducted by the organization in various Gauteng regions – an initiative supported by the Gauteng provincial government. In 2008 Ekurhuleni and Sedibeng saw successful workshops run and this year Tshwane/Motsweding, West Rand (including Soweto) and Joburg Central are likely to be targeted as well. Moshito is currently working on plans to extend this initiative beyond Gauteng.

Says Walters, “It’s very important that we build a robust network of music professionals throughout the country, and into the continent.”

Adds Le Roux, “We have every intention of turning Moshito into a global brand that is recognised around the world as the premier African music market. Already we have gone a long way to achieving that in our first five years but the ongoing activities of the Moshito staff and the upcoming conference and expo will only add to the momentum that is already established.”

The sixth annual Moshito Music Conference and Exhibition will be held from Wednesday 2 September to Saturday 5 September at Museum Africa in Newtown Johannesburg. Registration for delegates and exhibitors opened on July 1 with registration forms available on www.moshito.co.za as well as by contacting Lungi Mzizi (for delegate information) and Male Hlalele (for expo information) on 011 838 9145 and fax 011 838 9149.

•Department of Arts and Culture 
•Gauteng Provincial Government 
•City of Joburg 
•SABC
