Project Object
Apr 19, 2011 - Jun 18, 2011
Over an eight week period, Oriel Myrddin Gallery invites four artists; Peter Finnemore, Carwyn Evans, Becky Adams and Jools Johnson to occupy the gallery space with special objects that evoke intruiging stories.
Using objects both personal and particular and a spirit of experiment and happen-stance, each of this artist-led series will develop differently.
Visitors and community groups will engage with each of the stages in order to explore the stories, history, memory and associations of objects.
CARWYN EVANS: Altro
19 - 30 April (closed Mondays)
Working with material unearthed from his father's land in Newcastle Emlyn, Carwyn Evans 'purifies' it, eradicating any sense of place, identity or culture from the material so that it can only be seen as 鈥榮tuff鈥�, dislocated from notions of culture and mother or fatherland.
PETER FINNEMORE: Groove
4 - 14 May (closed Mondays)
Peter Finnemore has collected 45 rpm vinyl records for many years, focusing his collection on those that relate to Wales. Seeing his records as democratic markers of cultural history, as 鈥榲inyl bones鈥�, and as vernacular folk art, many of them relate specifically to Carmarthen
Join us to celebrate Project Object with Peter Finnemore鈥檚 vinyl collection at Disco Groove: Friday 13 May 7pm - all welcome
BECKY ADAMS: Memento
17 May 鈥� 4 June (closed Mondays)
What compels us to keep objects, hoard objects, covet objects?
An exploration into the emotional connection and history attached to personal objects, Becky Adams throws light on the personal stories attached to seemingly benign objects and creates a visual library that documents memory, recollection and personal story.
JOOLS JOHNSON: Aurora
7 鈥� 18 June (closed Mondays)
Jools Johnson manipulates recycled computer materials to create artworks that resemble futuristic constructions and miniature cities. Recent installations create unsettling atmospheres and ethereal backdrops for new architectural models that articulate fundamental questions about our own existence.
Project Object: Collect (studio space **)
7 May 鈥� 4 June 2011
Carmarthen Museum in Abergwili houses the county鈥檚 collection of treasured archaeology, social artefact and artworks. The museum have kindly loaned a small selection of items as part of Project Object. Our visitors will be asked to loan a significant object of their own to be shown alongside in the studio space during the show so that we can create our own living museum of special things.
Using objects both personal and particular and a spirit of experiment and happen-stance, each of this artist-led series will develop differently.
