Fifteen writer/curators were asked to draw up a list of fifteen "top" artists that they would like to see included in a book focusing on "the cutting edge of comtemporary art production today, as informed by and shaped during the past 10 years of South Africa's emergence into the global art scene". Each writer was then allocated six or seven artists and asked to motivate their selections. "Most writers were keen to emphasise that the resulting list did not claim to represent 'the top hundred artists, but rather a selection that reflected multiple viewpoints and priorities, providing a broader view of contemporary production that seen before."
The fifteen writers are Emma Bedford, David Brodie, Thembinkosi Goniwe, Khwezi Gule, Sharlene Khan, David Koloane, Andrew Lampbrecht, Moleleki Frank Ledimo, Virginia MacKenny, Sipho Mdanda, Tumelo Mosaka, Tracy Murinik, Colin Richards, Kathryn Smith and Sue Williamson.

Published by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Norton Museum of Art in association with Yale University Press to accompany the travelling exhibition which opened at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in March 2009.
This catalogue, produced in close collaboration with William Kentridge, investigates five primary themes that have engaged the artist over the course of his career: projects that focus on his creative process, films featuring the characters Soho Eckstein and Felix Teitelbaum, projects inspired in part by Alfred Jarry's "Ubu Roi", works related to his production of Mozart's opera, "The Magic Flute", and recent work inspired by Nikolai Gorky's short story "The Nose" and his staging of Shostakovich's opera.
Contributions include "William Kentridge, a portrait of the artist" by Mark Rosenthal,
"On Tears and Tearing, the art of William Kentridge" by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev,
"Walking and Looking, technology and agency in William Kentridge's film work" by Rudolf Frieling,
"Walking the Line, drawing, printmaking and performance in the art of William Kentridge" by Cornelia Butler, Judith Hecker and Klaus Biesenbach, and "Double Lines, a 'stereo' interview about drawing with William Kentridge" by Michael Auping.
Each section of the book includes text by William Kentridge. He also created a film especially for this book. By combining studio footage and fragments from his film projects Kentridge demonstrate how his ideas evolve from raw concept to finished work.

CINEMA IN A DEMOCRATIC SOUTH AFRICA,
the race for representation

Bloomington,

-
"Lucia Saks uses South African cinema as a lens through which to view cultural changes resulting from the end of apartheid in 1994. She examines how media transformed the meaning of race and nation during this period and argues that, as apartheid was disbanded and new racial constructs allowed, South Africa quickly sought a new mode of representation as a way to distance itself from the violence and racism of the half-century prior, as well as demonstrate stability amid social disruption. This rapid search for a new way to identity and portray itself is what Saks refers to as the race for representation. She contextualizes this race in terms of South African history, the media, apartheid, sexuality, the economy, community, and early South African cinema, and finally speculates about the future of counter-cinema in present-day South Africa." from the back cover
Lucia Saks is Assistant Professor in the Department of Screen Arts and Cultures, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Currently she teaches at the University of Cape Town in the Centre for Film and Media Studies.
