Market on Main

This guide to Market on Main in Johannesburg traces a blighted stretch of the inner city called City and Suburban back to 2008, when a young property developer, Jonathan Liebmann, bought a derelict 1911 warehouse and began renting studios to artists including William Kentridge. It follows two entrepreneurs, Jacques van der Watt and Bradley Kirshenbaum, who in January 2011 asked to trade food and design stalls here on Sundays. A listening tip: notice the exposed brick and factory windows as markers of the building's several lives.
