Today we feature another two collaborators. If you’re in Joburg, drop by the Gallery on 4th, and take a look at their works in the flesh.

Marcii Goose

Marcii is an artist, fashion designer and photographer, to name but three of her creative hats. Yes, her list of artistic skills is impressive; as is her non-conformist attitude, her strong visual imagery and her signature t-shirt label, Neonblack. Her work for the Be True exhibition is a striking manifestation of her multi faceted approach to creativity and her diverse background, echoing her interest in architecture and organic materials; the old and the real comfortably juxtaposed with the fleetingly fashionable.

See more of her transcendental Ts at her blog.

Stefan Naudé a.k.a. ST(e)AK

Stefan Naudé may look at life somewhat differently than most of his contemporaries; adept at spotting the irony, hypocrisy and inconsistencies imbedded in everyday life, he is also uniquely able to convey these observations through his varied creative abilities. He is big on taking and making pictures and drawings, and on blogging, which explains his prolific web presence to some extent:

It’s the day of the launch and everything’s running unnervingly smoothly. Shopfitting’s done, artists confirmed and the drinks are on ice.

Even the list of collaborators for this evening reads like a who’s who in SA’s new school of cool:

Richard de Jager, Lisa Jaffe, Petro Steyn, Sibu, Katherine Mortner and Luke Radloff are our fabulous fashion people. And the art and photos of Stefan Naudé, Marcii Goose, Coenie Sutton, Joh Del, Love and Hate Studio, Kronk, Liam Lynch, Warren van Rensburg, Chris Saunders, Ross Garrett, Sabelo Mhlangeni and Xandre Kriel are guaranteed to stir up thoughts a and feelings even the most passive observer.

Yip. There’s not a glitch in sight and I don’t like it. A bit of power-shedding would be very comforting right about now; better the devil you know and all that. But as we’ve got a generator on standby even that won’t be too much of a mission.
