CT launch of ‘August House is Dead, Long Live August House!’

A4 Arts Foundation 23 Buitenkant Street, Cape Town , South Africa

Writer, artist and research associate at the University of Cape Town’s African Centre for Cities (ACC), Kim Gurney pens a new book on the evolving art space August House in Johannesburg. August House is Dead, Long Live August House! The Story of a Johannesburg Atelier, published by FourthWall Books, is a fascinating study of the role of the atelier and its artists in South Africa’s fractious art world, and a consideration of the relationship between art and the ever-changing city of Johannesburg. Join us for the official launch in Cape Town, at 18:00 on 6 October 2017 at the A4 Arts Foundation.
