		<description><![CDATA[Woven Forms, an exhibition of limited-edition handmade rugs created by some of the world’s most interesting designers, will be shown in South Africa for the first time at Southern Guild in Cape Town’s Silo District from 20 September until the end of 2018. The rug collection – a collaboration between New York gallery R &#38; Company and Milan-based carpet producer Amini – was presented to the public for the first time at the 57th Venice Biennale in May 2017. Woven Forms presents unique designs by Wendell Castle, Rogan Gregory, Dana Barnes, the Haas Brothers, Katie Stout, David Wiseman and Renate Müller, among others. Working within the rich history of carpet making in India and Nepal, the countries where the carpets are handmade, the exhibition reexamines the limits of craft and industry by offering the designers the opportunity to explore their ideas through textiles. The project breaks the longstanding tradition of artists making carpets by printing a pre-existing painting, drawing, or photograph on a rug. Instead, each artist has created a unique design that considers the form, material and process while simultaneously reflecting their individual styles. All works are limited-edition pieces that took roughly six months to produce. Evan Snyderman, co-founder of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Southern Guild is pleased to announce a new group exhibition, titled Colour Field, on show from 19 July to 12 September 2018 at GUILD in Cape Town’s Silo District. Designers such as Tonic, Zizipho Poswa, Xavier Clarisse and Ronel Jordaan will premier bold new work whose approach to colour is immersive and transformative. Working in a wide variety of materials – including glass, aluminium, wood, clay, fabric and leather –the designers explore the interplay of colour with light, texture and materiality in contemporary furniture, lighting, ceramics and textiles. Colour Field will include some relative newcomers to South African collectible design, such as fashion designer and weaver Nicholas Coutts, industrial designer August de Wet and jewellery designer Eric Loubser (who both participated in A New Wave at Southern Guild in 2016). Colourfield &#8211; Studio August. Image courtesy of Southern Guild. The exhibition is inspired by the Colour Field painters of the 1950s and 60s, who included Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland and Frank Stella. Their paintings featured large planes or bands of colour that enveloped the viewer, abandon­ing form and figuration to evoke pure emotion. For the first time in abstract painting figure and ground became one, with [...]]]></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>

As South Africa’s premier platform for collectible and limited-edition design, Southern Guild curates a stable of trailblazing local designers and artists. Its stature within the South African design context and its reputation abroad make Southern Guild a perfect alignment opportunity for BMW, a leading force in luxury class motoring here in South Africa and one of the world’s most coveted vehicle brands. This coming together of two pre-eminent brands will result in a dynamic year-round programme of design-led events and initiatives that are set to ignite local audiences. Southern Guild will conceptualise and drive this programme, which includes interactive dinners, exhibitions and experiential activations.

		<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[For Design Miami 2017, Southern Guild presents a collection that celebrates a dynamic African design vernacular. Layered with historical and cultural references, echoes of the natural world and political disillusion, the works have a clarity of focus distilled to graphic silhouettes, compelling texture and the interplay of colour and form. This body of work expresses a conviction that the voice of this continent and not the received wisdom of others is the most vital and relevant inspiration. Southern Guild has spearheaded the collectible design category in Africa, propelling artist-designers to make spirited, challenging and complex work. Curated exhibitions, fertile collaborations and strategic partnerships have redefined perceptions of African design and established Southern Guild as a relevant and groundbreaking player in the global design arena. &#160; Featured Highlights: Andile Dyalvane Dokter and Misses John Vogel Justine Mahoney Porky Hefer &#160; With Additional Works By: Adam Birch Charles Haupt David Krynauw Madoda Fani Jesse Ede Jan Bekker Trevor Potter Otto du Plessis Meyer von Wielligh Paco Pakdoust and Conrad Botes Paco Pakdoust and John Murray &#160; Date: 6 &#8211; 10 December 2017 &#160; &#160; southernguild@theguildgroup.co.za www.southernguild.co.za www.theguildgroup.co.za Cape Town Gallery Shop 5B, Silo 5.

		<description><![CDATA[Following on the highly successful Monstera Deliciosa by Porky Hefer, Southern Guild brings a group exhibition of equally tantalising design product to its Cape Town gallery. Graphica introduces some collectible design pieces not yet seen in South Africa, despite having been exhibited by the gallery at international fairs such as Design Miami in both Basel and Miami, and Design Days Dubai. Graphica is a visual feast of dynamic silhouettes and exquisite surface detailling,’ explains Southern Guild founder Trevyn McGowan. A Wiid Design bench hand-drawn by Ceramic Matters to resemble a tattoo, the Kassena Isibheqe cabinet and writing desk by Dokter and Misses, referencing a modern-day script to unite African languages, and Madoda Fani ceramic vessels decorated with armour-like patterning are some of the pieces to look out for in this exhibition. ‘There’s a strong African aesthetic to these works,’ adds partner Julian McGowan, ‘and visitors can expect this to be complemented by a dramatic reworking of the gallery space.’ Expect newly painted, moody walls and dark finishes. &#160; Says Trevyn: ‘Southern Guild is forging ahead with repositioning design work as investment pieces in this country. In the same way that art is collected by top buyers and museums, our South [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MONSTERA DELICIOSA, VOLUME I, the first solo exhibition by Cape Town designer Porky Hefer, opens at Southern Guild Gallery on 20 November, with an old-school craft-consciousness that will appeal to a modern audience. Sponsored by Woodhead’s leather merchants, the monumental show will premier fantastical underwater animal-inspired hanging seating environments, transforming the double-volume gallery space into a magnificent faux waterscape. From a crocodile donning avocado leather, to a puffer fish woven with Kooboo Cane, these creatures will welcome gallery visitors on an intriguing journey of discovery. ‘My pieces get people to think about nature, and its fragility, and make them consider how to protect it,’ says Porky of the nest environments with which he has become synonymous. ‘They’re also about protecting local crafts so that these traditions don’t die out.’ The six pieces featured in Monstera Deliciosa, Volume I, have been created using unique local artisanal skills that include weaving, stitching and splicing. ‘No one is playing with these skills in this way,’ explains Porky. ‘People are latching on to technology, but this evolves so quickly that it’s hard to benefit from it, because by the time you master a technological aspect it’s already dead.’ He highlights the importance of reviving [...]]]></description>
