Description: "9 More Weeks, a book of artist interviews by Cape Town-based writer Sinazo Chiya, ... functions 'to reflect rather than map the elasticity of artists' perspectives and practices in an accelerated social moment'. The conversations ... touch on the political potential of abstraction, 'whether or not the question of beauty is still worth asking and if artists have any obligations towards the time and place in which they find themselves'. 'Authorship, material and meaning prove sites of contention', and 'language finds itself wanting'."--publisher description.
