About Art Criticism and Africa
Published as part of African Art and Society Series in conjunction with the International Association of Art Critics (AICA), the book is focused on contemporary art and art criticism in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt.
The essays in the book shed light on many institutional and administrative issues in contemporary culture: highlighting the role of public and private galleries, art magazines, the press, art schools, groups of artists and critics and the work of government.
The contributors include, aside from Katy Deepwell who has written the introduction, Olabisi Silva on "africa95: Cultural colonialism or cultural celebration?"; John Picton on "Yesterday's cold mashed potatoes," Everlyn Nicodemus on "The art critic as advocate," Ola Oloidi on art criticism in Nigeria in the period from 1920 to 1996; Murray McCartney on the role of the art critic in Zimbabwe; Barbara Murray on the evolution of the Gallery magazine in Zimbabwe; Tony Mhonda on the role the art critic as an advocate of art; David Koloane on the purpose of art criticism; Colin Richards on art criticism in South Africa; Chika Okeke on art criticism of accommodation; Fatma Ismail Afifi on the Kom Ghorab project in Cairo; Olu Oguibe on the new millennium and George Shire's response to his essay.
