The Value of Nothing

Until 26 August 2018, Studio 1:1 Gallery, 57A Redchurch Street, London E2 7DJ.

Dim ond Geiriau (ydi faith) / (A language is) Only Words
Iwan Bala curates this exhibition which looks at how the tradition of Welsh poetic writing has been incorporated into artworks – where the ‘word’ becomes ‘image’ and ‘object’. Bala conceptualises these works within the discourse of ‘custodial aesthetics’ – the artists having a role of social resistance as custodians of marginalised cultures.
Until 31 August 2018, BayArt, 54b/c Bute Street, Cardiff CF10 5AF.
