Self Reflection by Benon Lutaaya
Eclectica Contemporary will be hosting a solo exhibition by Benon Lutaaya entitled Self Reflection. Hailing from Uganda, he is best known for his contemporary paper collage portraits.
Lutaaya said: “In this particular exhibition, I’m re-examining my practice as an artist, the medium, techniques and concept as a whole. In my world, quality is measured by 'improvement' rather than 'change' for the sake of fitting into the bandwagon of the elitist, postmodern art burble.”
Comedy in the Vines
Spier Wine Farm will be presenting its Comedy in the Vines series featuring some of South Africa’s top comedians. Visitors can have some laughs, while enjoying a picnic on the grass.
The next shows will feature Barry Hilton, December 23, Stuart Taylor, January 23, and Marc Lottering February, 24. Tickets cost R170.
