Additional notes:
Africus Johannesburg Biennale 1995.

International Print Exchange and Installation.

Volatile Alliances, the theme of the international print exchange and exhibition for the Africus Johannesburg Biennale is a celebration of South Africa's re-entry into the international cultural arena and a dynamic cultural exchange between artists working in a variety of printmaking techniques. The vision of this initiative is to promote ongoing dialogues and exchanges between South Africans and artists of the world.

The portfolio is accompanied with a catalogue with a preface, acknowledgements and foreword - by Mona Berman. In addition a full list of the South African and International artists with images and titles of their work. [see below for some anomalies resulting from the title page being printed before the receipt - non receipt - in some cases.

There are two chemises in the box: One of the South African artists (which is complete) and the other of International artists which shows some anomalies from the title sheet:

1. The Daniel Dingler print is not shown in the catalogue.

2. John Buck and Mirislav Polcar prints are listed on the title page but were never made (according to Kim Berman). The former is in the catalogue and the latter is not shown in the catalogue.

3. The Dias Mahlete print is missing (or not made?) but is shown in the catalogue.

4. Hendrickus Bervoets, Albert Daniels and Jiri Kornatovky prints are shown in the catalogue but the images differ.

5. The Oscar Gillespie print is shown in the catalogue flipped left/right.

6. The Phyllis McGibbon print is shown in the catalogue as landscape but should be portrait.
