Moche Fineline Painting of Ancient Peru
The Moche civilisation that lived on the north coast of Peru between AD 100 and 800 left behind textiles, metalwork and huge pyramids with some of the most vivid pottery ever to be found. This exhibition showcases the paintings on these ceramics and features 50 large-scale drawings reproduced from the painted originals by artist Donna McClelland. These include warfare, hunting scenes and supernatural beings, all depicted using extremely narrow lines that wrapped around the chambers of the vessels.

Savage Garden
Australian pop-duo Savage Garden bring their brand of effervescent pop to Joburg. Singer-songwriter Darren Hayes and instrumentalist Daniel Jones are touring to promote their emotionally charged second album, 'Affirmation'. More intimate than their self-titled début album, it contains more of the bland soft rock that has made them so popular. They even performed the title track from the album during the closing ceremony of the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in their native Australia.
