		<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>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Sale of Works to Benefit the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation SFA Advisory and Southern Guild announced today that they will present a unique project by renowned South African artist Porky Hefer at Design Miami/Basel from 12-17 June 2018. The exhibition, commissioned by SFA Advisory to benefit the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation (LDF), will showcase a series of seating pods depicting endangered species. The sculptures, which depict an orangutan, a polar bear, a sloth, a blue whale, and a great white shark, are made of eco-friendly and recycled materials. Titled ENDANGERED, the pods were produced using environmentally sustainable materials that have been extensively hand-worked by artisans in Cape Town. Hefer worked closely with textile artist Ronel Jordaan and craft collectives Heart Works and Mielie to translate his creatures into giant, tactile sculptures whose surfaces have been crocheted, felted, stitched and embroidered with unique embellishments.

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.

		<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>
