Southern Guild
Various Artists at Everard Read GalleryArcelorMittal South Africa and Southern Guild join forces to present a six-week exhibition of the most important South African Collectable Design.
The exhibition will showcase new work from more than a hundred of South Africa’s top artists and designers such as William Kentridge, Conrad Botes, Brett Murray, Gregor Jenkin, Haldane Martin, Athi Patra, Michael McGarry, Egg, Tonic, Adriaan Hugo, Conrad Hicks, Ardmore, James Mudge, Silvio Rech, Pierre Swanepoel and many other luminary names. This year, Southern Guild will also be introducing a section dedicated to South African Ceramicists.
“There is no doubting the impact of South African talent on the international design scene. Buoyed by a spirit of entrepreneurship and a rich cultural landscape, South African designers are making their mark on the global forum”. “The ingredient that makes this work interesting is the narrative that is intertwined within the design of each piece and the unique way that is accomplished.” Trevyn McGowan
To further broaden awareness of local design, the Southern Guild exhibition at Everard Read Gallery will include a series of interactive events, including a Southern Guild Talks programme and guided gallery tours for the public as well as schools.
02 August - 09 September
