"PhotoRenga", portrait exhibition and other updates

Evening everyone,


We've got quite a few updates for you this week. "PhotoRenga", a group exhibition presenting work by Jason Burgess, Paddy Faulkner, Bill Hart, Zosia Krasnowolska, Rosie Swan and Kate Woodward, created during a workshop held in 76m2 a few weeks ago, is in its final days (closing on the 31st of October), so there are still a few days left to catch it (we're open on Monday this time round!).







Second, we've been preparing a portrait exhibition, which will include portraits of our gallery visitors, taken by Dafydd on his homemade large format camera and photographic paper. The show will be on in November and additional portraits will be taken throughout the exhibition. 







There are also two personal projects that we have been working on recently. 

Last weekend, as part of madeinroath festival in Cardiff, Zosia exhibited "slant of light", an installation of winter photographs by Russian artist Andrew Pershin, printed on artificial silk and suspended in a bay window. 

Currently, Dafydd is building a camera in the building of the former public toilets in Maindee, Newport as part of the New Paths programme run by the Maindee Library thanks to their Arts Council of Wales funding for an Ideas:People:Places project "Finding Maindee". During this weekend's Photomarathon, and over the next week, he'll be taking life-sized portraits of Maindee residents and visitors on colour photographic paper, so keep your eyes peeled for an unusual construction appearing in the Maindee Triangle. 

More updates on both projects coming soon!
