Tamlyn Martin

get known, get exhibiting, get out
Tamlyn popped into the Department yesterday and chatted to everyone in the Digital Lab 'that was there'  about a project she is initiating that will incorporate framed photographs to be exhibited @ Bean Bag Bohemia on the 15th of September.


This project entitled: "Guerrilla Gardening", is a spin off from another project called 'PEN two Paper' initiated and curatored by Tamlyn a few months back.   

Find out more about "PEN to PAPER" by clicking on this link.   buka lapha_PEN to PAPER 

Guerrilla Gardening is about documenting Graffitti in and around Durban. The way it is documented and contextualised is open for interpretation by Photographers. Here are some questions that come to mind ...
  •  a backdrop to ?
  • what do you see when you get up close and personal?
  • beautify vs deface of our cities?
  • art or warfare?

TAMLYN will be coming to the DEPARTMENT on Tues 31st August @ 9am.  We will all go as a group to places that she has scouted and take photographs. EVERYONE IS INVITED_please those students that have cars open up your hearts and doors to ferry the students who do not! Tamlyn has also offered to facilitate and demonstrate to students ways to paint and decorate frames in the afternoon. By the end of the day all you will need to do is insert your photograph and your works will be ready for exhibition. 
I think you're crazy if you don't take up this opportunity to get involved and exhibit your works in DURBAN. 

NB: maybe its a chance to get that photograph you are missing for PORTFOLIO?

Tamlyn may be contacted on 074 407 5413 or on vanitas@mweb.co.za
