Literature

Ivor Powell. 'The Perils of Celebrity' in Brett Murray. (2014) Brett Murray, Cape Town: Jacana. Page 26, illustrated in colour.

It comes down to the meta-political imponderable. 'To storm or to own the Bastille?' - as Murray asks in a metal text on the wall of the exhibition. This is the question that post-democratic history in South Africa poses.

Brett Murray. (2009) Brett Murray: Crocodile Tears, exhibition catalogue, 5 February-28 February, Goodman Gallery.
