Some questions we're asking...

We at Spier Contemporary have started asking some questions about contemporary art in South Africa ahead of the exhibition opening on the 14th March, what do you think?

Feel free to add other questions that you think are important, or provide your answers:

How do you, personally, define art?
What does ‘open for art’ mean to you?
Can contemporary artistic practice catalyse social change in South Africa?
Is it important to centralize African perspectives and approaches on contemporary art?
How do you describe an African perspective and approach to contemporary art?
How can Art change people’s perspectives of how Africa is seen?
What’s the difference between art in Africa and art in South Africa?
Is art stunted by bad financing in South Africa?
Who owns art in South Africa?
How do you define cutting edge art?
Is being cutting edge in the artistic world important?
What does engaging with art mean to you?
How do you think we get people to engage with art?
What is an art activist?

Let us know what you think.
