Long recognised for his complex colour and design theories and a decidedly populist aesthetic, Biskup has...

FlashBack | Armchair Stand-Ups | Issue12
Stand-up comics: You get a few of them together in an online chat room, ask one straightforward question, and it all just spirals into irreverent bedlam. Sheesh!

Dare to enter Sweat.X ‘s making-your-feet-itch world of mish-mash sounds and musical liberties. Rebecca Kahn investigates. It isn’t easy to interview Markus Wormstorm or Spoek Mathambo.

FlashBack | Buffy Brave Art | issue05
Cape Town’s most prominent artist, Buffy Brave Art, is sizing me up from the opposite end of the table. I say most prominent because it is very likely that on a daily basis Buffy’s work is seen by more people than any of the resident artists in the National Gallery. By SD 3000 He is...
