		<description><![CDATA[Southern Guild and BMW South Africa kick off their programme of creative collaborations with a specially commissioned art piece that will occupy a central position in the gallery’s next exhibition, Colour Field, which opens on 19 July at GUILD in the Silo District. The series of activations inside the gallery are a key part of the recently announced partnership between Southern Guild and the luxury motor vehicle manufacturer. Inspired by the exhibition’s focus on colour, BMW commissioned Southern Guild to design a custom artwork that will become a permanent feature at the car manufacturer’s headquarters in Johannesburg when the show closes on 12 September. The large-scale wall-mounted design piece draws from BMW’s archives of premium paint colours. “We took our cue from the work of American Colour Field painter Frank Stella as well as a vintage BMW Motorsport logo that we discovered when researching the brand’s history,” said Julian McGowan, co-founder of Southern Guild and chief creative officer of The Guild Group. Each of the 26 shades used in the artwork was sourced from BMW’s extensive catalogue of “special request” exterior paintworks that customers can choose from to personalise their car. The piece will be accompanied by an i8 Coupé [...]]]></description>

Joining Julian as co-curator of Foundry Proof are Otto du Plessis and Charles Haupt of Bronze Age Studio, in celebration of the close working relationship the gallery and studio have enjoyed over the past 10 years. Charles Haupt &#8211; Tropism Mensa Tertium III Otto, a classically trained sculptor, opened Bronze Age Foundry in Simonstown in 1997. Incorporating a gallery and artist residency, it nurtured the careers of many young bronze artists who apprenticed there. Charles joined in 2005 to help start a design studio and the pair then moved their operation to Woodstock, where the foundry and its adjoining gallery became one of the neighbourhood’s focal points of creativity. They regularly produced work by artists such as William Kentridge, David Brown, Brett Murray and Wim Botha, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southern Guild is pleased to announce the opening of Bifurcation by Adam Birch, running from 25 April until 12 July at GUILD in the Silo District of the V&#38;A Waterfront, Cape Town. This is the first solo exhibition for the artist, whose functional timber sculptures have become highly sought after at international design fairs and auctions. Adam grew up on a large farm in the Cape Winelands, where his love of trees began as a child, playing in the forests. He completed a Fine Art degree in 2000, majoring in Applied Graphics, but always dreamed of becoming a full-time sculptor. Shortly thereafter he became a tree surgeon, and began to work in his spare time with pieces from the dead trees he was cutting down, transforming them into innovative sculpted furniture. A passionate environmentalist, Adam cuts down only alien tree species and uses indigenous wood from trees that have already fallen. The pieces in Bifurcation have all been carved from the part of the tree that carpenters usually discard: the fork. At this junction – where the trunk bifurcates into two branches – the wood grain becomes twisted and dense, making it difficult to cut. But in the anatomy of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southern Guild presents a new solo show of paintings by Olaf Hajek, Paravent, at GUILD in Cape Town’s Silo District from 25 April to 12 July 2018. Held in collaboration with Whatiftheworld, this is the internationally renowned German painter’s third solo show in Cape Town. The 14 acrylic paintings in this new body of work depict still-lives, interiors, portraits and landscapes, whose theatricality is heightened by the recurring motif of a folding screen (“paravent” in French). “The screen creates its own mysterious space. Behind it, you find a hidden world but it also provides security and shelter,” Olaf explains. A technically perfect illustrator, he creates enchanting visual patterns, scenes and creative characters in which nature and artifice are intertwined. Olaf collects mental images everywhere he goes: on his travels, in magazines, or on the internet. African traditions, Indian temple art, South American folklore, and pop culture are all expressed in new ways in his almost surreal tableaux. He plays with motifs of flora and fauna, archaic symbols and current themes, working them all into his pieces in great detail and vibrant colour. &#160; The works on show were all painted by Olaf during a recent residency in Cape Town, which [...]]]></description>

In the spirit of bold originality that has marked its decade long journey of pioneering collectible design in South Africa, the gallery invited the makers to produce exploratory new work that crosses over into other disciplines, materials or technologies. Extra Ordinary features both emerging and established designers outside of Southern Guild’s core stable. They include fashion designer Rich Mnisi, ceramic artists Zizipho Poswa and Madoda Fani, sculptors Daniella Mooney and Stanislaw Trzebinski, and newcomers such as 3D illustrator Ferdi B. Dick. Julian McGowan, co-founder of The Guild Group, encouraged the designers to work outside their comfort zone, providing mentorship and guidance along the way. “They’re accomplished designers already – we wanted them to think differently about themselves and their work,” says Julian. “The result for each designer is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Leaders of South African design were honoured on Saturday, 25 November at the fifth annual Design Foundation Awards, in a ceremony held in Cape Town. The seven awards, lauding the industry’s top achievers in design, manufacture, commercial success and innovation, were sponsored by various forward-thinking local companies, as a new wave of supporters joins the celebration of South African talent. The 2017 awards signal a fresh approach by the Design Foundation, formerly known as the Southern Guild Design Foundation. Says board member Trevyn McGowan, ‘With our independent think-tank board representing diverse industries, our aim is to have a foundation that supports the design industry at large – from grassroots and educational levels to manufacture, retail and export. Our partners are seeing the value in supporting local design and growing this multi-layered industry together, as we move it away from its association with a collectible design gallery to be run as an autonomous non-profit foundation.’ Abigail Rands, Marketing Director of Krone, sponsor of the prestigious Icon Award, won by Gregor Jenkin, says: ‘Design is at the heart of the way we live and work. We believe it has the ability to change South Africa, and by supporting local design we’re investing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Image credit: Justine Mahoney Across the African continent, over 80% of school-ready girls enrol in grade one, but by the time they reach university, only 8% are successful in continuing their tertiary education. BRAVE is changing this. BRAVE uses the power of travel to create opportunities for girls living in some of the most dangerous communities across Africa to complete their education and become effective, ethical leaders, explorers and advocates for themselves and others. Following the overwhelming success of the inaugural BRAVE dinner and exhibit in July 2016, GUILD is hosting the second annual BRAVE exhibit and auction at its flagship store and gallery in the new silo district in Cape Town. On Thursday, 23 November, guests will be treated to live music, with canapés by The Yard and drinks by Spice Route, followed by enthralling stories from extraordinary explorers, leaders and adventurers, including two of the all-female Black Mamba anti-poaching team; acclaimed artist Justine Mahoney; National Geographic Explorer of the Year, paleoanthropologist Marina Elliot; visionary GUILD director, Trevyn McGowan; the first female conservation student from African Leadership University (ALU); and Rock Girl spoken-word poet Miche Williams.
