Lukas De Beer Field Guide For Creative Professionals

Artist + Entrepreneur = Artrepreneur. Today, more than ever before, creative professionals from all creative domains are beginning to realize that in order to pursue a creative career you need to think like an entrepreneur. Yet as we discover in Artrepreneur - A Field Guide For Creative Professionals (R295), the motivating factors between what drives an entrepreneur and an Artrepreneur differ greatly. For one, Artrepreneurs are not always in it for the money. On the contrary, they are often driven by raw passion and the desire to create. This drive usually creates tension between maintaining authenticity and creativity as an artist, and administrating a business, which is you. In essence, this book is about assisting creative professionals to understand that they are the business and not only the artist. Part self-help, part coaching, part delve-into-your-soul-to-findthe-real-you.

Andrew Tshabangu Footprints

Andrew Tshabangu has been making photographs for over twenty years. He has traversed the city and the countryside—in South Africa and elsewhere—with an ease born of deep familiarity and empathy, and in order to show everyday lives made meaningful by the rhythms of work, faith and leisure. Andrew Tshabangu: Footprints (R660) published by Fourthwall Books and Gallery MOMO is the first major survey book on the work of this acclaimed South African photographer. Each series in this important book suggests a deep contemplation of the places, rituals and material conditions that have structured black life in South Africa. The work suggests an understanding of the ways in which people have made virtues of necessity, transformed the marginal spaces bequeathed to them by apartheid and mobilised the terms of their own political and spiritual freedom.
