What do you like about the services that BAZ-ART offers you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Julia:<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI appreciate the exposure or publicity particularly as it pertains to online visibility. I am sure it will benefit my career to have work exhibited overseas in the BAZ-ART travelling exhibition\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tarryn<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cExposure of artwork via exhibitions and their website and guided street art tour<br \/>\nThe social aspect of meeting other artist and art lovers<br \/>\nThe benefit of the local people who are most in need of inspiration and upliftment.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>2. What are three most important things that you feel BAZ-ART offers you as an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Julia<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cVisibility online. Two days of representation at the Art Africa Fair. Future exhibitions, yet to manifest but could be great exposure\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tarryn<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\">\u201cExposure: local and international<\/span><br \/>\nContributing positively to the local community<br \/>\nNetworking and meeting other artist.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>3. Do you feel as though BAZ-ART supports the vision that you have as an artist and where you would like to be? How does BAZ-ART support you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Julia<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cI have only been represented by BAZ-ART since March this year. It is difficult to get an idea of where things are heading but my hope is that the exposure and connections I receive through being exhibited by them, will help to move my career forward. I enjoy the association with other graffiti and street artists as my work often has a similar aesthetic and straddles the line between different art \u2018scenes\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tarryn<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cYes, I have not yet sold anything through working with BAZ-ART but I do indeed feel it has been great for me as an artist to be part of the organisation\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>4. What has been the difference from before you were with BAZ-ART, to now that you are with them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Julia<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cThere has been a definite increase in visibility, particularly through taking part in the International Public Art Festival\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tarryn<\/strong>:<br \/>\n\u201cI have met many street artist and been exposed to more street art, as well as working on larger scale works like murals which I have not done before.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_179\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-179\" style=\"width: 3641px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-179\" src=\"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TarrynGordon-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3641\" height=\"2259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TarrynGordon-1.jpg 3641w, https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TarrynGordon-1-400x248.jpg 400w, https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TarrynGordon-1-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TarrynGordon-1-768x476.jpg 768w, https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/TarrynGordon-1-1024x635.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-179\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Safe Place&#8221; by Tarryn Gordon, February 2017, Salt River, Cape Town, International Public Art Festival (IPAF)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you are a local or international artist and would like to be part of the BAZ-ART platform, email us at hello@baz-art.co.za to find out how you too may get involved.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Julia Grey and Tarryn Gordon reflect on their experience with BAZ-ART in an interview with BTech students of CPUT.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[50,49,27,48,46,51,7,47],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":182,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174\/revisions\/182"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baz-art.co.za\/highlights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
