SYMUD, Oriel Carn

GPS Signal Lost is making a new appearance at Oriel Carn, as part of SYMUD, an exhibition of moving image. 07.02.25 – 15.03.25.

7th Feb 7-9pm LAWNSIAD | LAUNCH. Oriel Carn, Castle Ditch, Caernarfon LL55 2AY

GPS System Lost is concerned with observing and recording, over a period of five years, some of the strange interplay between human and natural activity in and around the caves of Craig Y Cilau National Nature Reserve, Mynydd Llangatwg. It is a collage of films and stills, animations and projections in the tunnels of Eglwys Faen, using centuries of graffitti as backdrop. The film also plays as a personal homage to my father, photographer and one-time pot-holer, on whose last camera the material for this film was gathered.
(2016) Duration 10:30 minutes, 16:9 ratio. Soundpiece, Lyndon Davies (2024)

Rogue Residency

A month’s residency through September with Manchester’s Rogue Artists’ Studios to dig into the role of video
in collaborative live art performance – and how this might connect with live performance to camera.

The residency will be a chance for on-the-job training and professional development: reviewing material I’ve
been working on this year and testing it out with new partners in new environments, linking in with some of
Rogue’s 90+ studio artists and with performers and video artists through Company Chameleon‘s Art Lab / Jam OPEN FLOOR X TEST CARD.

An important part of the residency will be the input of mentors and critical friends in Manchester and Wales –  supporting development of my creative practice but also potential wider benefits through links and exchanges between Wales / Manchester arts communities. Read more about it here. Warm thanks to support from:

Through the Floor

A three day festival of experimental performance and sound art across three floors with
tactileBOSCH, Shift Cardiff, Carnedd Caerdydd.
July 19 – 21 Ty Wilcox House, Dunleavy Drive, Cardiff, CF11 0BA

My video sequence of the Usk floodplain, with its submerged fallen trees, along with the ruined floor from a psychiatric hospital in Talgarth, provides the setting for the fluxus performance ‘nivea cream piece’, ‘dressing’, and ‘nap’. This durational happening on Saturday afternoon consists of a series of body-based pieces that explore intimacy, connection, personal space, and the unpredictable and uncontrollable forces in nature and within ourselves. @Sgôr_Score

Day & weekend tickets are available.
See @tactileBosch for more information about the programme, performers and events and the link in their bio for how to book tickets.

Hafod

15 June – 6 July Three-week artist residency in Eryri National Park with accompanying exhibition
at Oriel Plas Brondanw and workshop at Oriel Caffi Croesor

Hosted by Noëlle Griffiths at Hafod Art Studio.

SCORE at Experimentica

11 Apr 2024 at Chapter, Cardiff CF5 1QE.
SCORE will delve into an exploration of performativity and play within the Welsh context in a
new site-specific commission’.

It’s been a real pleasure to develop work with SCORE on Maes Chwarae over the last few months.
Here are 2 images of my video and projection made as part of experimental preparation for our performance
– the first showing Rob Oros and the second Tim Martin-Jones.

 

SCORE Experimentica artists are: Beth Greenhalgh, Tess Wood, Vivian Ross-Smith, Tessa Waite, Iona Hannagan Lewis, Lewis Prosser, Tim Martin-Jones, Rob Oros, Penny Hallas.
‘SCORE is a pulsating slime of oddballs and artists from across Wales. Devised in 2022 as a provocation to explore ‘live-ness’ and performativity within the Welsh context, SCORE is a curious constellation of energies and aspirations, constantly reshaping and redefining the boundaries of its own creative expression. Central to the group’s method is a thirst for playfulness, collaboration, co-authorship, grit, tenderness, the ephemeral, and the ‘live’. Working together to perform in the face of the unknown’.

MYRIORAMA

10 Feb – 6 May 2024 Gallery 2, Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
17 Mar 2-4pm. Artist talk with Alan Bowring, geologist and Geopark Officer.
Celebrating the bicentenary of the myriorama.

200 years ago J.H. Clark and S. Leigh created a game to tap into a new craze sweeping Europe.
Meaning ‘many views’, their Myriorama was a set of 16 illustrated cards that could be rearranged to create
a near-endless variety of cohesive scenes. Long before cinema this was seen as a fine amusement for all
the family. I use but subvert the Myriorama’s idealised picturesque aesthetic, combining and intermingling narratives, deliberately introducing elements of dissonance and misfit as a way of extending conversations
about how we perceive and value the land in a time of environmental crisis.
