NEWSLETTER SUDAFRICANA.COM + SALLYARNOLD.COM

Welcome to my fourth newsletter, featuring images of the completed façade project at Delheicht School, Esch (LU) - currently entered for the IOC/IAKS Award in Germany and the Concours Construction Acier 2007 in Luxembourg - and designs for a new collaborative gallery/spa/wine restaurant project in Sweden.

There are currently no exhibition participations scheduled for 2007. My paintings and my article on architecture in Luxemburg are featured in the recently published Luxemburger Lexikon (Editions Guy Binsfeld):

Das ganze Land in einem Band - Alles Wissenswerte über das Großherzogtum Luxemburg: Namen, Daten, Fakten. Dieses Lexikon, das erste seiner Art, das jemals in und über Luxemburg zusammengestellt wurde, informiert über luxemburgische Geschichte, Geografie, Politik, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Religion, Sport und alle anderen klassischen Wissensgebiete.

"... Dass das Buch im kleinen Großherzogtum mit seinen 450 000 Einwohnern auf Anhieb mehr als 20 000 Mal verkauft und damit zum Super-Bestseller wurde, ist nur ein weiterer Beleg für den Bedarf an Gesten der Selbstvergewisserung. Im übrigen hat natürlich, wer auf sich hält, auch rasch geprüft, ob er/sie wohl in diesem Luxemburger Lexikon vorkommt oder doch den schweren Weg in den Olymp noch vor sich hat. ..." (Klaus Brill: "Der Löwe ist los", Süddeutsche Zeitung, 12.03.2007)

My focus in 2007 is on co-developing a multi-purpose space featuring a selection of the best South African contemporary crafts, art, organic wines, vinegars and grape seed extract spa treatments in an historic farmhouse situated 30mins. from Copenhagen and Malmo in south Sweden. The ecologically certified farm and private landing strip Fridhem Gaard is owned by flight commander Anders Paulsson. Official opening is scheduled for summer 2008, please visit www.threelilybuds.com for updates.

I'm delighted to be working on this beautiful space and have custom designed a mohair carpet and marble mosaic tables for the branding concept, as well as co-sourced custom-designed furniture and art from South Africa.

Project planning is under way for phase 3 of the impressive, two-thirds completed new Mamer-Koenigsbund school complex. Colourful wall paintings, folio patterns and a striking orange, black and cement mosaic will complete the large-scale artistic programme.

Since 2000, I have been donating 10% of all art sales to my Skuinshuis Arts Scholarship Fund. This fund currently enables a formerly underprivileged scholar from the Karoo town Prince Albert, South Africa, to prepare for a 3-year diploma course in the arts. Your support for my work is of great help to this important cause. Donations are most welcome: please donate directly to the scholarship bank account number (in my name) below at ABSA bank in South Africa, mentioning your name and address. News of the candidate's progress will be posted on www.sudafricana.com/projects.html. Bank details: ABSA a/c number: 909 220 1506. Swift code: ABSA ZA JJ
