Talking Heads

We could see groups grow, their music changed ... more or less. The cold fire of the first Television did not survive the second. Acne Ramones was carefully maintained with rifle BigMac. Blondie was shining in his formula one round bumper cars. And the Talking Heads? They seemed to type in the vein "rock naive" but let Jonathan Richman run itself after Buddy Holly. Home blood flowing a little more black and thickens in the second album. The songwriting of David Byrne growing in amplitude, his voice in insurance. The arrival at the helm of the good doctor Eno does not mean regime change. The synths are parsimonious and Jerry Harrison, as in '77, is mostly second guitar. The influence of Roxy Music? It was already there, you can feel a little more (Found A Job, Artists Only). Byrne Ferry more than Bowie? Issue made of none, he drops his horses, stuff is (the end out of The Good Thing).Business becomes really serious on the front two. I'm Not In Love has a killer riff, the first matrix can Feelies. The band cuts off the momentum in the middle, to leave. It is ripe for Stay Hungry, with the bass line the most haunting (and extremely simple) never played by Tina Weymouth. Co-written by Byrne with Frantz, a piece almost without words. The lout was the stump that itch and it can no longer hide for long. Not a thinker, a dancer. Maybe a little weird and jerky, but ... Make a motion, make a motion make a motion ... pull it tight, pull it tight, pull it tight ... Then at the end, it flat on a sheet "enossifiée" here That rhythm again ... here's the sound I made ... The following is a very moist version of Take Me To The River Al Green, who will remain at their soul and thrill the charts. For input, the pedal-steel sign of The Big Country one of the most sarcastic anthem to the American way of life, squeaked by an angel keatonien.

Hassan Hajjaj wins Africa's largest Art Prize

The Sovereign Art Foundation is pleased to announce that Hassan Hajajj from Morocco has been awarded the first prize in the inaugural 2011 Sovereign African Art Prize.
Hajajj will receive US$25,000 prize money and the opportunity to take up a 3 month residency at the Nirox Foundation. The winning work "Rubbish Odalisque" will travel to various cities around the world and will be displayed alongside the 30 finalists of the Sovereign European and Asian Art Prizes in Europe and Asia respectively.

The judges chose the winner during the exhibition of 20 finalists displayed at the FNB Joburg Art fair. The judges for this year's prize included Robert Devereux, Simon Njami, Julian Ozanne, Riason Naidoo, Antoinette Murdoch and Thembinkosi Goniwe.

Hajajj said upon hearing the news "I'm so happy to be part of this amazing group of artists and very honoured the be part of the Sovereign African Art Prize and have to also thank all the judges that voted for me"

The Sovereign African Art Prize is the first pan-African prize with 150 entrants nominated by experts from around the continent. Foundation Chairman Howard Bilton said, 'This has been a great start for us in Africa, after running seven successful prizes in Asia and four in Europe. As we develop the prize here and fine-tune the process this will be an extremely important prize for African art. We have learnt a lot in this first year and will return next year with 30 finalists'.

The Sovereign Art Prizes are aimed at mid-career artists who are known and collected in their own countries but who will benefit from additional international exposure. All finalists apart from the winning piece (which becomes property of the Foundation) are available for sale with the proceeds being split 50/50 between the participating artists and the Foundation. This year all the funds raised by The Sovereign Art Foundation have been pledged to The African Arts Trust.

Mr Robert Devereux, judge and founder of The African Arts Trust said 'The African Arts Trust is absolutely delighted to be a supporter and a beneficiary of the first Sovereign African Art prize. The donation to the trust will enable it to further its work in supporting young African artists by increasing their access to essential resources, enhancing awareness of their creative work and providing educational and travel opportunities.

The prize is a very important development in the history of African art as it will focus attention on the wonderful achievements of African artists which are too little known and encourage a much higher level of engagement between artists, collectors, museums, curators and the general public. Prizes are a proven means of increasing awareness and credibility and this inaugural event has already demonstrated that.'

The Foundation offers three compelling benefits. The artists are given international exposure and publicity. The collectors get the opportunity to buy works from a selection of rising stars of contemporary art that have been selected by two independent panels of experts through the nomination and the judging process. The local community benefits from the application of the funds raised through the sales.

After being exhibited at the FNB Joburg Art Fair the exhibition will move to Nirox Projects at Arts on Main in Johannesburg for the month of October. In November the exhibition will move to the Tokara Wine Estate in Stellenbosch where the first prize will be presented to Hajajj.

In addition to the judges prize there is also a public vote prize which will continue through all three exhibitions and online through the Foundation's website. Votes will close on the 22nd of November and the winner will be announced at the Tokara Wine Estate.
