		<description><![CDATA[The Stellenbosch Triennale 2020, brainchild of the Stellenbosch Outdoor Sculpture Trust, takes place from 11 February to 30 April 2020 and will present a remarkable collection of artistic talents to construct an event in which contemporary African art will hold a critical dialogue with the society that fosters and exhibits it. The theme Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us, which was conceived by Chief Curator and Artistic Director Khanyisile Mbongwa, runs as a thread throughout the seven multidisciplinary platforms. All will provide meeting points for engagement with the divided past, the collective present and imagined futures. The curator’s exhibition has been conceived by Mbongwa, with co-curator Bernard Akoi-Jackson. It will feature 20 multidisciplinary artists, from a range of African countries. On the list, selected by the curatorial team, are some of the world’s most revered artists whose works are situated at the borderline between avant-garde and mainstream: Conceptualist and sculptor Ibrahim Mahama (Ghana), Visual artist Sethembile Msezane (South Africa) and filmmaker Kivu Ruhorahoza (Rwanda) &#8211; to name a few. Mbongwa sees the theme, and participants, as being part of a unfolding narrative. “For me, Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us is about imagining (and creating) common sustainable futures [...]]]></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[This series of work is called “The Anxiolotic Effect” – an anxiolytic (also anti-panic or anti- anxiety agent) is a medication or other intervention that inhibits anxiety. All of the works in this series are named after the active ingredients in these medicines and substances that induce this effect. There are other substances that can also produce an anxiolytic effect and the work plays with this idea and poses the question of whether art can produce an Anxiolotic Effect. On the 5th January 2019, a friend of the artist ended his life. She had known him for 18 years. Their careers have followed a similar trajectory – both had busy freelance design businesses, worked for similar clients, started teaching design at a similar time and he was a provocative video artist. Stewart says she had no idea that he suffered from anxiety – none whatsoever – but those closer to him knew that this was part of him. This traumatic experience has caused her to contemplate mental health issues – deeply. She asks: “Why is mental health something we hide, something that seems shrouded in shame? If he had cancer I would have know about it, for sure. It has been a personally devastating experience the finally realise how silent and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After studying jewellery and fashion in Florence, rising young artisan Ashleigh McCulloch has launched her own designer brand of jewellery that not only straddles the continental divide between Italy and her home-country, South Africa, but also toggles between art and accessory. Her hand-crafted pieces are sold in upscale galleries and artisanal stores anywhere from Florence to Fresnaye &#8211; and online &#8211; and she herself divides her time between Cape Town, Johannesburg and Italy. McCulloch’s choice to keep one foot on the ground in the city of Michaelangelo’s David, is tied to the thriving artisanal jewellery culture that exists there and the ease with which this context enables her to meet the technical and aesthetic demands of producing her sculptural pieces. Her distinctive jewellery is wrought in a signature language that defies commercial trends and the commonplace. One of the reasons she became a metalsmith in the first place is that she could never find the kind of jewellery she wanted to wear, so she resorted to making it herself. “Jewellery is my channel of expression,” she explains, “and because I have often struggled to find pieces that I liked, I decided to make my own.” The twenty-seven-year-old McCulloch has called her brand Monastery, which is a fitting umbrella name for her various [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Soal is an award-winning artist living and practicing in Johannesburg, South Africa. Using found materials as the departure point for his works, Soal’s sculptural and spatial approach to making art is driven foremost by formal concerns such as texture, light and form expressed in an abstract minimalist language. Conceptually, his works refer to the political context of their making, highlighting the histories embedded in the found material, and utilising them in a way that challenges societal assumptions of value. In 2017, Soal graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts (Hons) at the University of Witwatersrand. He was awarded the overall PPC Imaginarium Award in 2018, alongside being named the winner of the Sculpture category. Soal has been awarded residencies by the South African Foundation of Contemporary Art and invited as a research fellow by the RAW Material Company in Dakar, Senegal. He has exhibited in group shows at institutions such as Aeroplastics Contemporary in Brussels (2017), Wits Art Museum (2017) and Stellenbosch University Museum (2018), to name but a few, and had his first solo exhibition, “Orbits of Relating” at No End Contemporary in Johannesburg in 2018. He was a featured artist at GONG LAUT: The First Singaraja International Art Forum in Bali, Indonesia in 2018. Soal’s work has been [...]]]></description>
