		<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[Emerging talent takes the stage as South Africa’s foremost art and design competition, the PPC Imaginarium Awards, re-joins top trade show 100% Design South Africa. From 8-12 August 2018, visitors to the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand can view finalists of the concrete-themed PPC Imaginarium Awards in a dedicated feature at 100% Design South Africa. Each year, the travelling exhibition of the PPC Imaginarium Awards stops at 100% Design South Africa, allowing finalists to exhibit alongside local and international design heavyweights and emerging design talent. Curated by Platform Creative and taking place alongside Decorex Johannesburg, 100% Design South Africa is the largest curated exhibition platform for sourcing high-end contemporary design in Africa, servicing office, residential and hospitality sectors. Joining the show with their breath-taking, innovative concrete products this year are finalists of the PPC Imaginarium Awards, including works entered across all six categories, namely film, fashion, jewellery, sculpture, architecture and industrial design. “In 2017, The PPC Imaginarium reached further milestones by extending into the art community and maximising the opportunities of the artists who qualified as finalists,” says PPC Imaginarium Director Daniel van der Merwe. “The initiative has enabled and empowered more artists and designers than any comparable project in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a gala event held at the University of Johannesburg Art Gallery on the evening of 4 April 2018, upcoming young artist Chris Soal was announced as the overall winner of the PPC Imaginarium Awards 2018. The 24-year-old sculptor, a fine arts graduate from the University of the Witwatersrand, garnered R150 000 in prize money, and participation in an eight-month-long nationwide travelling exhibition. Soal’s winning piece, entitled “Imposed Structure (Deflated)”, consists of cement cast into the shape of a deflated and scuffed soccer ball, through which a metal rod has been forced. The weight of the cement causes the rod to bend and pull, signifying the weight not only of deflated childhood dreams, but of the inherent danger of “play” within the city. The work speaks not only to the realities of growing up in a city environment, where soccer is played in the streets, on concrete and tar, but also to the relationship of soccer to South African industry. One example of this relationship is the 2010 FIFA World Cup. To this day, questions are posed regarding the event’s benefit for the country. Soal’s artwork was chosen as the winner by the PPC Imaginarium Awards national judging panel. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The country’s most supportive art and design competition, the PPC Imaginarium Awards, will be showcasing its finalists’ works at the Kwazulu Natal Society of the Arts (KZNSA) Gallery in Durban from 26 September to 15 October 2017. From a pair of concrete sunglasses to a dress made of cement, the exhibition will feature a diverse range of innovative and thought-provoking concrete pieces across the disciplines of Sculpture, Jewellery, Fashion, Industrial Design and Film. The exhibition will also provide visitors with the opportunity to view and engage with the works by the competition’s Overall Winner, Mziwoxolo Makalima, Category Winners and Runners-up. A project of the innovation department of PPC Ltd, the PPC Imaginarium Awards is an art and design competition in which emerging artists and designers are challenged to demonstrate their creative talent by incorporating Portland cement-based concrete into their respective disciplines. A winner of several BASA Awards, the competition has firmly established itself as the country’s leading career-launching platform for up-and-coming artists. The KZNSA Gallery is part of PPC Imaginarium’s nationwide travelling exhibition that sees its finalists’ works displayed at a number of auspicious galleries and events throughout the year.

		<description><![CDATA[The PPC Imaginarium Awards was established by PPC Ltd as a means to give emerging designers and artists the opportunity to showcase their talent and creative thinking by using cement as their primary medium. Now in its third year, the competition is the most supportive of its kind in the country and has seen many of its past entrants and finalists go on to become recognised in the art and business community. The PPC Imaginarium encompasses six categories, namely, architecture, fashion, film, industrial design, jewellery and sculpture. This year, the competition has assembled an extraordinary group of some of the industry’s most influential and outstanding creatives on the national and regional judging panel, who will evaluate the various category submissions, choose category finalists and the overall winner. Fashion and design consultant Allana Finley, will fill the role of judging the fashion category and that of national judge. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the US, Finley has worked on fashion brands such as Eileen Fisher, Tiffany &#38; Co. and Gucci America, and is currently a board member of the Museum of African Design. Over the past 13 years, her focus has been on telling the story of the African continent in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do un-established artists and designers need more than anything to help launch their careers? Financial support? Tick! Exposure? Tick! Recognition? Mentorship? Guidance? Tick! Tick! Tick! The PPC Imaginarium &#8211; an exciting competition that seeks to rocket boost emerging artists and designers &#8211; is ticking all the boxes… The initiative is noteworthy for offering the country’s richest cash prize ever for an arts competition boasting over R500 000 in prize money. But it is even more remarkable for its ambition of providing a nurturing launch platform for its winners – with the aim of establishing them as leaders in their field. The inaugural PPC Imaginarium Awards cement the parent company PPC Ltd’s position as one of the largest and most exciting promoters and patrons of the arts and design in South Africa, a company that has previously been awarded for its innovation and support of the arts. ‘Through the PPC Imaginarium Awards we aim to maximise opportunities for young emerging artists and creative in the arts and design disciplines in South Africa,’ states PPC Architect Daniel van der Merwe. Expanding from its longstanding PPC Young Concrete Sculptor Awards established in 1992, the PPC Imaginarium Awards provide a platform for designers and [...]]]></description>
