"Michael MacGarry is a visual artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. He holds a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from theUniversity of the Witwatersrand. His work investigates the ongoing ramifications of Western imperialism within the Africancontinent. Of particular concern are the mechanics of control and vested interest that inform the journey of culturally symbolic languages and products from the so-called ‘centre’ tothe ‘periphery’ (and vice-versa) via established global trade routes that define and manipulate the peripheral context through an insidious process of inclusion and exclusion." via http://www.artextra.co.za/michael.html
