David Krut Projects showcases artist’s latest exhibition | Rosebank Killarney Gazette

Artist Pebofatso Mokoena opened his latest exhibition, "Diamond Dust Apostrophes," at The Blue House in Parkwood on July 19, hosted by David Krut Projects. The show draws on his recent residency in Oranjemund, Namibia, where the landscape, history, and soundscapes influenced his creative direction. During the residency, Mokoena began creating ink drawings on A4 paper while waiting for oil paints, a limitation that shaped the exhibition's meditative tone. He also collaborated with fellow resident Ericke Tjiueza, using music—particularly the album "Floating Points" by Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra—as a tool to understand the town. The exhibition marks a shift from his 2020 solo show "Internal Probes," which focused on Johannesburg's urban chaos, toward stillness and reflection.

neanderthals made art too startling new research suggests

Archaeologists at Complutense University in Madrid have published research suggesting that Neanderthals created art, challenging the long-held belief that only Homo sapiens were capable of symbolic expression. At the San Lázaro rock shelter in central Spain, a site occupied by Neanderthals over 40,000 years ago, researchers discovered a large granite pebble with a red ocher dot applied by a fingertip, along with carved cupules that form a face-like arrangement. Analysis by the Spanish National Police confirmed the dot was intentionally made, and the pebble was transported from three miles away, indicating deliberate selection and symbolic thought.
