This catalogue is published on the occasion of the exhibition at David Krut Projects, New York, 5 June 2008 - 30 July 2008. David Krut Projects, New York presents "The New Spell", an exhibition of young, up-and-coming, contemporary South African art curated by Lucy Rayner. This exhibition of self-reflexively satirical and subversive new work features artists Themba Shibase, Michael MacGarry, Nandipha Mntambo, Maja Maljevic, Nina Barnett and Robyn Nesbitt. Bringing together the work of six artists who share an affinity for a particularly vulgar, grotesque or fetishist aesthetic, "The New Spell" aims to consider one of the many enlivening tendencies within this socially aware and outspoken approach. Includes bibliographical references.
