"Kunskwatier" (Art Quarter) Article in Absa Festival guide 2-9April
Afrikaanse in-set van artikel:
"Die Kunskwatier, 'n splinternuwe projek by die ABSA KKNK in 2011, bied aan feesgangers die geleentheid om die spektrum van visuele kuns in Suid-Afrika direk by kunstenaars of gevestigde galerye aan te koop. Uitstallings word in die hartjie van die feesaktiwiteite en die boomryke middedorp met sy historiese geboue en restaurante aangebied, asook by kunsgalerye in die omgewing - onder meer in De Rust, Calitzdorp en die pragtige Kruisrivier."
English version - KKnK Official Website:
"In a bold new step to represent the full spectrum of visual art in South Africa, 2011 sees the launch of the Art Quarter at the Absa KKNK (Klein Karoo National Arts Festival).
In addition to the established curated exhibitions, where the country's top contemporary artists are featured, the Art Quarter now offers artists an unique opportunity to exhibit their art at what remains one of South Africa's premier art events. The Absa KKNK continues to draw a huge audience of theater and music fans, with a substantial number of discerning visitors that collect art. It is with this target market in mind that the Art Quarter is being facilitated.
The Art Quarter consists of two sections. The first section is situated in the heartbeat of the festival activities, but toward the restaurant area of leafy avenues, this trendy yet relaxed part of town contains many historical buildings suited to art exhibitions. Over the years this area has organically become the haven of independent solo exhibitions by leading artists. These artists have enjoyed success and are excited by the prospect of developing the Art Quarter into a fine art fair within the national arts festival. The second section takes you to galleries in the vicinity of Oudtshoorn, De Rust and Calitzdorp."

The city of Salzburg is situated by the river Salzach, a river that runs across the entire province in a bended curve and shapes the landscape of it. The Salzach is 225 kilometres long and one of the most important rivers of the Austrian Alps.
This is probably due to the similarity in the names. In fact, "Salz" means salt and "Ache" is an old German term for a river. The name therefore refers to the importance that the Salzach had as a transportation route for salt from Hallein and other mining places of the province up to the late 18th century.

One Roof Studio, will be hosting its first major art exhibition by resident artists on the 29th July 2010 to mark its one year anniversary as one of Cape Towns up-and-coming art spaces.

Lindé - Painting
Lindé received a diploma in fine arts at the Ruth Prowse Art College.
Following this, she worked in advertising, did freelancing in graphic design and photography and in the last 2 years, has re-kindled her old love for painting. Her chosen medium is oil on canvas. Amongst her preferred subjects to paint, are larger than life portraits of people and cityscapes. She has exhibited in Johannesburg, auctioned some of her paintings in London and has now returned to her favourite city to showcase her new work.
Her most recent work is an impressionistic and textural display of architectural beauty in Austria – in particular, a small town called Salzburg. She travelled there 2 years ago and was captivated by the romantic and graceful atmosphere in this ancient cobbled town, saturated with boutiques, organic markets and bridges over the canal. Even though the city is draped in monotones, she has captured the energy underneath it all, with her vibrant and colourful paint applications.

Jeanie Hugo - Jewellery
Jeanie has recently completed her course in Jewellery Design and Manufacture at Stellenbosch University, where she learned to work with many different metals such as silver, white gold, yellow gold and platinum. It was at university where she discovered her love for graphic art, patterns, photography and colour and started experimenting with translating those into metal.
At present, she loves to combine her jewellery with stories of people, places and personal histories. Mostly, she uses found objects, writing and patterning in her pieces to create graphic, refined and colourful jewellery items that the wearer can treasure for its raw material value as much as for its unique story.
