99c Exhibition in Pretoria
99c is an exhibition offering a diversity of works ranging from leftover sketches torn from sketchbooks as well as a couple of more complete works that all explore the infinite possibilities offered by drawing.The aim is also to offer art of different price brackets, with an emphasis on lower priced works, yet also featuring a few bigger works as an alternative.Instead of subscribing to the regular exhibition approach,99c is supposed to be more of an art supermarket with an alternative more lo-fi approach to artmaking.The exhibition will also feature a live performance by the band “a skyline on fire”.
It’s happening this Thursday at Platform on 18th in Pretoria.

Another Thesis Social Jam Session this Sunday
Stan The Man with the plan…. This session is dedicated to Stanley Parkies our first host. He has passed on, but the beat must go on and this is our farewell to him.
In order to keep things fresh and expose new people to the streets, we have a live act line up with two groups that have never performed in Soweto before and its a blessing that we have them with us. First is Bongiziwe Mabandla and The Fridge. This is a three guitarist band that sings folk music. 5th Floor is a hip hop duo from the streets of Cape Town that is breathing fresh air to the hip hop infested market of South Africa. They have already blessed Party People hosted by DJ Kenzhero. Read more…

A BIG Thank-you!
Wow. The Serenade Your Walls exhibition yesterday was even better than we expected! Thank you to all who came through to enjoy the art, the music, a few beers and great company. Also a massive thanks to all the AM I COLLECTIVE folk who worked so hard to help us make it happen. If you missed out, the work is still up for you to view at the AM I COLLECTIVE Garage and we’ll be uploading photos from the event soon! The posters are available for online purchase at shop.10and5.com.
Some of the posters meant to be displayed were damaged in transit so we couldn’t put them up. Biggest apologies to these artists and bands. We know it’s not the same but we think you still need to see them, here they are:
Kwani Experience by Lauren Fowler
Desmond & The Tutu's by Job Solario
Jax Panik by Arno Kruger
Also somehow the Latimer brothers’ names got switched around. To clear things up, the Pity the Fool poster is by Alex Latimer and the Sedge Warbler poster is by Patrick Latimer. Sorry guys!
All in all it was a very successful event and we’d love to do it again, we’ll keep you posted!
