A quick provisional rundown of events planned for the upcoming week.

On Tuesday 27 September at 14:00 Clive Kellner will be in conversation with the IPP on the history of the Camouflage gallery (1991-2001) and his experience of independence and agency within the landscape of contemporary art in South Africa.

Magazines by CUSS produced in collaboration with students from the WITS school of Fine Arts will be available as take-aways at Blank from Wednesday 28th September.

Another two informal conversations will be hosted on Friday 30th, the first at 11:00 with Kathryn Smith, artist and founder of serialworks, on independent strategies and making the conditions to make in, and the second at 14:30 with Andy Mason, comic artist and educator, on various topics that emerge around his extensive collection of South African comics.




A selection from Andy Mason's collection.

And finally, on Saturday the 1st of October the IPP will close with participant's and facilitators in conversation on anything and everything about self and independent publishing, and about the IPP itself...
