		<description><![CDATA[The town of Stellenbosch gears up to host an extraordinary series of events, next year, when the first Stellenbosch Triennale will play host to some of the world’s most sought after artists responding to the complex present, historical realities and future possibilities. The Stellenbosch Triennale, brainchild of the Stellenbosch Outdoor Sculpture Trust, will take place from 11 February to 30 April in 2020. Venues across the town will exhibit works in response to the theme of the Triennale Tomorrow There Will Be More of Us. In addition to artworks by practitioners of contemporary art from Africa, the Triennale will also provide a unique learning opportunity for all in its vicinity. Known as The Imaginarium, the carefully engineered platform will be a supplementary, online, open source (i.e. free) discovery and learning resource centre for all ages. This exciting experience will be accessed through the Triennale website, and will be designed to stimulate the imagination while supporting 21st Century learning skills. Prior to the launch of the Stellenbosch Triennale online content, workshops which put this theory into practice have already begun. Workshops and lessons are being held at the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography. Here, Grade 5’s from Devon Valley Primary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stellenbosch wine farm Spier is now home to Uthomi — a large-scale mosaic conceptualised by Mozambican artist Lizette Chirrime. The ambitious, vividly coloured work produced by the Spier Artisan Studio was installed in a water feature close to Spier’s Vadas Smokehouse &#38; Bakery earlier this month. Uthomi, which is Chirrime’s first mosaic project, celebrates and showcases her talent for combining colour and abstract form, offering a vibrant playground for the imagination. “We were keen to work with this talented, thoughtful artist not least because her practice — which is often bright, colourful and seemingly playful — is so appropriate for an installation that we hope will engage and intrigue children and adults alike,” says Mirna Wessels, the director of the Spier Arts Trust which commissioned the work. The Maputo-born, Cape Town-based Chirrime’s works are held in a number of collections throughout South Africa, Spain, Portugal and Italy. These pieces, often taking the form of detailed fabric collages, reflect her sometimes tumultuous life’s journey. Having grown up on the coast, she often references water and other elements of nature in her work. Informed by a keen awareness of the negative impact humans can have on the environment, she hopes to inspire [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South African architect and artist Lorenzo Nassimbeni’s oeuvre is known for its fusion and consolidation of elegant architecture and fine art, bringing the two disciplines together. One of his recent projects, a sculptural bas-relief moulded out of concrete and titled Landmark, encapsulates this unity. Landmark was completed in June 2018 for ABLAND Property Developers at a site called Loftus Park in Pretoria &#8211; now known as the City of Tshwane. The project was curated by Parts &#38; Labour and fabricated by Wolkberg Casting Studio. The site-specific artwork was created for the entrance of a hotel, which was designed by Studio 3 Architects (http://studio3designhouse.co.za). The sculpture represents prominent urban elements in Tshwane – particularly those immediately around Loftus Park – that are of historical significance. The suburb of Clydesdale, various distinguished schools in the area, and the Loftus Versfeld stadium are specifically represented in the artwork. Moreover, from an architectural point of view, the style of the sculpture directly references the Brutalism of Loftus Versfeld and pays homage to the Brutalist era of architecture in South Africa. Tshwane is unequivocally the muse for Nassimbeni’s piece. Sculpted from high-performance concrete, the piece is comprised of blocks and tiles that vary in form, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Works by two of South Africa’s most renowned artists make rare public appearances when they go on sale this month by Stephan Welz &#38; Co. for the first time at an auction. Seychelles Girl by Alexis Preller has not been seen in public for several decades and Winterveld by Jacob Henrik Pierneef has remained in the family of the current owner since it was first purchased. The works go on the Stephan Welz &#38; Co. Fine Art and Design auction in Johannesburg on April 29 and 30. Signed and dated ’49, the oil on canvas painting by Preller (1911 -1975) being auctioned for the first time is a sensitive depiction of a young Seychelles woman painted during the period when the artist visited the Indian Ocean island. Stephan Welz &#38; Co. is offering the work with an estimated price of R1 million to R1.5 million.  The signed painting by Pierneef (1886-1957), widely regarded as South Africa’s most renowned landscape artist, depicts the Winterveld area north of Pretoria. “The use of light and colour is particularly evocative and is a very desirable example of the artist’s work,” says Stephen Welz &#38; Co. fine art specialist Luke Crossley. The estimated price is [...]]]></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[Ever since its inception, the PPC Imaginarium Awards has showcased some of South Africa’s top rising talent in art and design. Each year, the judging of the competition falls to a panel of formidable experts, including critics, artists, designers, curators and researchers. This year’s judges are established in a range of disciplines, including research, design, curation, activism and education. They bring a wealth of skills as well as several decades’ worth of collective experience. Regional judges select finalists from the work submitted in all categories, excluding architecture. Regional judging takes place in Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and Johannesburg. The number of judging stations ensures that the PPC Imaginarium Awards are inclusive and representative. All judging is blind and unbiased. Regional winners and runners-up of the PPC Imaginarium Awards take part in the annual traveling exhibition in late 2018. Finalists’ work will be featured in a range of esteemed shows, including the Turbine Art Fair and 100% Design South Africa. From the regional winners, national judges pick the overall winner of the 2018 PPC Imaginarium Awards.

The sculpture comprises of five large flywheels that formed an integral part of the original Grain Silo machinery when it was first constructed in 1921. When the building was repurposed as the new Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), the flywheels were given to artist Michele Mathison. He used the wheels to create a static sculpture that nevertheless captures the dynamic motion of their rotational drive, and the sheer weight and size of the wheels. The sculpture forms part of the V&#38;A Waterfront’s Art in Public Places programme. This ongoing initiative brings creative outdoor elements to the property, allowing visitors to interact with and enjoy sizeable works of art on a free, open-air platform that is open 24 hours a day. Angular Mass is the latest in a number of other sculptures installed across the V&#38;A Waterfront by artists such as Noria Mabasa, Mohau Modisakeng, Kyle Morland, Cameron Platter, Carl Frederik Reuterswärd, Claudette Schreuders and Gavin Younge. Mathison has drawn critical [...]]]></description>
