Florida Road was bustling below as sandal-clad Durbanites hunted for food and fun. In the passageway in front of me, a postmodern art critic was at work. Poised in a contemplative stance, he gazed at an illustration of a baby floating surreally above a swimming whale. His critic-cred amplified by a healthy, well-manicured nest of chin fur, a paisley shirt, skinny jeans and boots. All that was missing were the black-rimmed Buddy Holly shades and a craft beer. This guy had seen the inside of an art history lecture hall for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d thrown on a checkered shirt earlier in the day and my dreads probably provided some social camouflage, but I wondered if the pack could smell an intruder. Should I wander past and casually mention something about Dutch vanitas themes? No. It was too risky. It could lead to further conversation and I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d come out alive. The truth is, as far as art discourse goes, I was treading water in the deep end of a surrealist swimming pool trying desperately to keep my head above water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The printed illustrations decorating the passage all looked pretty fantastic to me. They were a glimpse into a fascinating world of creative exploration, a mind-trip of the phantasmagorical. How does one create these visions of cartoonish fantasy? I was hardly in a position to critique something that comes from a world I know little about. And I suppose I didn\u2019t have to. I was here to write a story. I was here to soak in the vibes, to rub shoulders with Durban\u2019s cultural classes and most of all to contribute to a good cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b4-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b4.jpg 718w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spawned from the brain of illustrator\/animator\/graphic designer\/hairdo master Adriaan Landman, the Booom! Baby art exhibit was anything but a pretentious affair. Art etiquette, I quickly realised, was not under scrutiny here. The goal wasn\u2019t to snub your artistic adversaries with well-versed, academic analyses of the post-modern artscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what was the goal? Simply put: money and publicity. But not the sort of \u2018I paint culturally relevant graffiti and sell it to the pompous elite for exorbitant prices\u2019 kind of deal. No, this was a charity art exhibit. You see, Mr. Landman and his fianc\u00e9 are eager supporters of non-profit organisation HOLAH \u2013 the House of Love and Hope \u2013 based in Durban North. In operation since 2012, HOLAH is a safe haven for babies that have either been abandoned, orphaned, given up for adoption or removed from their parents\u2019 care. Babies that arrive at HOLAH receive all the love and attention they so desperately need until they can be placed with adoptive families or reunited with their biological families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to find a way to use my love for illustrated art to help children,\u201d Landman tells me. So it makes sense that he teamed up with Kim Brown and Leanne Lorrance, the super-passionate duo behind HOLAH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Illustrators and artists from across the country donated artworks, with all proceedings from print sales going to HOLAH. \u201cI put together a list of artists I considered to have the most diverse styles, who also happened to be amongst the top in the country. I\u2019m very humbled that they all responded,\u201d he smiles. Names on the contributor\u2019s list include Alex Latimer, Tokyo-Go-Go, Maaike Bakker, Jordan Metcalf, Tania Whiteley, Trevor Paul, Daniel du Plessis, Colwyn Thomas, and a piece by the first-time curator himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a8.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add to the list of accomplished SA artists an equally impressive list of sponsors and the event goes from a small time fundraiser to a media-worthy event.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PrintWild<\/a>, iComputing Solutions, Wakaberry, J\u00e4germeister (complete with scantily-clad J\u00e4gerettes) and Gunslinger Longboards all showed up to offer their support. Gunslinger raffled off a longboard (I didn\u2019t win it despite an unrealistic confidence in my ticket selection).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The venue was a fitting match too. Playing host to the exhibit was Upstairs, a bar on the second floor above Durban\u2019s renowned eatery Spiga. Initially a waiting room for hungry Spiga patrons, the venue has quickly become a hotspot to capture and showcase Durban\u2019s creative culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, despite the efforts of places like Upstairs, Durban seems to have earned itself a pretty decent rep as a cultural dead-spot. International bands often bypass it, tourist maps tout the sea and the surf paying little heed to art museums, and there\u2019s a trend of general audience apathy at live gigs or art exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a4-1.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/a4-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So is there a place for exhibits like Booom! Baby within the sunny city by the sea? Landman thinks so. He\u2019s also adamant that the Durban art scene is about to split open like a ripe pawpaw: \u201cI\u2019ve lived in Durban my whole life and the art scene always feels like it\u2019s just about to burst. Its time is now. Durban has never been short of amazing talent and people driving the scene with exhibitions and events. Attendance can be touch-and-go but there is no reason to limit eyes on an artwork to the crowd you are able to gather at a particular venue. Durban can be put on the map as a contributor to the international art scene. Technology allows it. It\u2019s going to happen\u2026 soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we can assume that Landman will be donning his curator\u2019s cap again in the not-too-distant future. \u201cThis is only one of many Booom! Babys,\u201d he clarifies. \u201cI\u2019m hoping to work with a new team and take the exhibition on tour; maybe starting in Jo\u2019burg then Cape Town and back to Durban. The main reason for this is because these shows are not only for selling art and raising money for underprivileged kids here, they\u2019re also to reach more people and make them aware of this problem our country faces and the support that is needed.\u201d I think it\u2019s kind of cool when art takes on a social responsibility role. It seems to make the pretty pictures more accessible. You might feel awkward browsing through a Penny Siopis exhibit dodging intellectuals with monocles and top hats (okay that\u2019s an exaggeration), but you don\u2019t need to be anything more than a Durbanite, or just a person for that matter, to buy art for a baby house. And, if you\u2019re like me, when you\u2019re done contributing to a good cause you\u2019ll take a stroll up the street to Taco Zulu and stuff your face with cheesy unhealthiness before heading home. Forget the Louvre, the food there\u2019s too expensive anyway, this will do us just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"718\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b6-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b6-1.jpg 718w, https:\/\/www.printwild.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/b6-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 718px) 100vw, 718px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Booom Baby!
