“They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To” ~ Mary Sibande

Mary Sibande is a South African artist based in Johannesburg. Her recent series ‘Long live the dead queen’ was featured within the city on the side of buildings and other structures as large, photographic murals. The series, like Sibande’s practice as an artist, ‘attempts to critique stereotypical depictions of women, particularly black women in our society.’

The mates at the produce cart on Oxford Road in Manchester gave me 6 bunches of bananas for 80p. My dear friend Cheryl in Denver has this amazing recipe for banana bread, which is low on the butter and excellent on the chocolate milk content. Really. It’s the best banana bread you’ve ever had. Gimme some fan mail if you want the tip (recipe). The politics dept at Uni of Manchester will be very happy tomorrow. They deserve it!

these are ‘neat’; see more here from Jim: “The miniature scenes I depict are of locations on the edge of suburbia which seem mysterious or even slightly menacing despite their commonplace nature. The bottles add to the implied narratives of transgression. When found by the sides of roads or in the weeds near the edges of parking lots, empty liquor bottles are artifacts of consumption, delight, or dread. As art objects, they become hourglasses of sorts, their drained interiors now inhabited by dim memories” See link for source.
