Rhys Slade-Jones: Cwm Here Now
The Valleys is characterized as a place beneath the stars, above the anthracite, below the slag tips, amongst the spills and spoils. This space has been routinely lauded as a place of beauty and of extraction. Landscapes are good from afar, and communities far from good.
Rhys Slade-Jones is an artist born and reared here in these valleys. In this exhibition the artist considers The Valleys archive in conversation and disagreement with their own contributive works, alongside presentation from family archives, and found objects.
Cwm Here Now is a disruption and gathering of fragmented histories, both material and imagined. Rhys invites you to familiar terrains, to question familial bonds and to reframe, and readdress the histories and hypocrisies laid in The Valleys.
