		<description><![CDATA[The PPC Imaginarium Awards will conclude its 2018 tour with a visit to Nelson Mandela University (NMU) in Port Elizabeth. From 23 August – 12 September, visitors to the university’s Bird Street Gallery are invited to explore concrete masterpieces by a number of top local creatives chosen as finalists for South Africa’s most supportive art and design competition. The official launch of the exhibition will be a gala event at the gallery on Wednesday 22 August, where invitees can view finalists across all categories of the PPC Imaginarium Awards, including film, fashion, sculpture, jewellery, architecture and industrial design. Invitees will include delegates from the NMU Dean of Arts’s annual conference dinner, which takes place on the same night, and so guests will be privy to a thrilling confluence of ideas, arts and creativity. The annual travelling exhibition of the PPC Imaginarium Awards follows the crowning of its category winners and runners-up. The first stop was the University of Johannesburg (UJ) Art Gallery where the national judges chose the winners and runners-up; thereafter the works travelled to Cape Town to exhibit at the Association for Visual Arts (AVA) Gallery, to Newtown’s RMB Turbine Art Fair and 100% Design South Africa 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.
