		<description><![CDATA[Spier Light Art is set to illuminate the Stellenbosch wine farm for the seventh time next year, running from 21 March to 21 April 2025. Every year the choice of artworks reinforces just how innovative, bold and experimental South African artists are. Playful, provocative, reflective and engaging – each iteration of the event encourages viewers to contemplate what it means to live in this intriguing, diverse, complicated and hopeful nation on the southern tip of Africa. Artists and designers (professionals, students, and institutions) are invited to submit expressions of interest for light art works and video art that engage all age groups. Light should be a central element and experiment and innovation are encouraged. The project will completely or partially fund installations chosen by the selection committee, headed by curators Jay Pather and Vaughn Sadie. The selection is not confined to a theme, but artists may be prompted by the ethereal and the whimsical, artworks that speak to technology, issues affecting South Africa, resilience, enchantment and exuberance, and the working wine farm. Categories of work may include: Site-specific work (designed to be displayed in particular places on Spier Wine Farm) Sculptural, object-based work Interactive art Digital works that foreground technology [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South African artists Karen Stewart and Ed Suter were among the 38 selected artists chosen from 350 applications received for the second iteration of the Lagos Biennial entitled: “How to Build a Lagoon with Just a Bottle of Wine?” The Lagos Biennial 2 was touted by the New York Times as one of two international Biennials worth travelling for. The title was adapted from the poem, “A Song For Lagos” by the Nigerian writer Akeem Lasisi. The curators framed the title as a provocation for artists and the public to meditate on the history and present construction of a city’s built environment. According to the curators, the title conjures the impossible, and speaks to the city’s “can-do” spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable social, political, and economic obstacles. The curatorial panel consists of Antawan I. Byrd, Tosin Oshinowo and Oyinda Fakeye whom come from diverse art backgrounds and have made significant contributions to the popularity and rise of contemporary African art internationally. The forthcoming biennial will take the city of Lagos as its epicenter and point of departure for a broader investigation on how contemporary artists, designers, and other creatives are responding to the challenges and possibilities of environments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Un-established artists and designers stand a chance to change their careers through financial support, recognition, mentorship and guidance by entering the 2015 PPC Imaginarium Awards. After a successful inaugural competition in 2014, the PPC Imaginarium Awards is back; and is still South Africa’s richest arts and design competition. Having evolved from the longstanding PPC Young Concrete Sculptor Awards, the PPC Imaginarium encourages artists and designers to create and express their abilities using Portland cement – based concrete as a primary base or material. The competition will feature six disciplines in the arts and design fields. These disciplines are sculpture, jewellery, architecture, film, industrial design and fashion design. Boasting prize money to the value of half a million rand, each category winner stands a chance to win R 50 000; while runner-up contestants receive R 15 000. The overall competition winner will receive the grand prize of R 100 000 at the winners’ exhibition in 2016. How to Enter the PPC Imaginarium Awards The PPC Imaginarium Awards are open to South African citizens, resident holders as well as foreign students with study permits, who are not professionally established in their respective fields. Entries may be submitted by individuals or team collaborations, and artists and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many years Odili Donald Odita has been acutely aware and contemplative of the tensions, contradictions and paradoxes between here and there, Africa and the Western world, and the idea of a Third World and a mainstream First World. The artist, who was born in Nigeria and has lived in the United States for most of his adult life, understands the distances between the perceived centres and margins of the (art) world, and the filtering and distortions that colour the connections between them. His new work considers this in-between space, a space that is often fractured, disjointed and replete with disjunctions and differences, aesthetically, economically, conceptually. Odita also sees a ‘third degree of separation’ as finding connection within a state of isolation, the cultural limbo of his experiences as an African in the Western world, and more specifically, searching in between these binaries to discover the intricacies of this space, which he understands as ‘the space of colour’. Aside from a series of new large acrylic paintings, Odita will also exhibit his templates and sketches for the works which offer an insight into the artist’s process. In his words: I’ve noticed that often a drawing only turns into a painting six months to a year later. Over the period, the drawing transforms; I might go back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Known as the “Mining Artist”, Jeannette Unite travels around the globe and researches what she refers to as the industrial sublime. Mining the earth for inspiration, she brings its minerals to life by incorporating them into large-scale textured artworks on canvas and paper. Working with earth materials, mines and maps, Jeannette’s geological paintings and drawings incorporate the metals and matter that defined and continue to shape the mineral and industrial revolution. In March 2015, Jeannette will be participating in the “Blowing in the Wind” group art exhibition at the KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts (KZNSA) gallery in Durban. The exhibition is curated by respected curator Carol Brown and aims to remind us how intolerance, fanaticism and violence have little changed since the 1960s.  Rooted in two famous song titles from that era – “Blowing in the Wind” by Bob Dylan and “Imagine” by John Lennon &#8211; the curatorial intention of this exhibition is to revisit these lyrics in the light of the last half century, where little progress has been made. The exhibition will run from 03 – 22 March 2015 and includes works by other artists such as Bongani Khanyile, Wonder Mbambo, Fran Saunders, Derrick Nxumalo, Paul Botes, Siobhan O’Reagain, [...]]]></description>
