  • Sgwrs Chwilgar - A Curious Conversation

  • Tân a Llif

    [sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o’r cabinet:

    [how to get] into and out of the cabinet?

  • [Sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o'r cabinet?

  • [How to get] into and out of the cabinet?

  • Sgwrs Chwilgar – yn cael ei chynnal gan Carreg Creative – mewn partneriaeth ag Utopias Bach – fel rhan o gomisiwn gan Oriel Celf Gyfoes Genedlaethol i Gymru a Storiel, Bangor.

    Ar gyfer ein comisiwn penderfynodd Carreg Creative (Lisa Hudson a Lindsey Colbourne, gyda Wanda Zyborska) greu ‘sgwrs chwilgar’ a fyddai’n trafod [sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o’r cabinet. Estynnwyd gwahoddiad i unigolion creadigol, ynghyd â chynulliad creadigol Utopias Bach (sy’n canolbwyntio ar gydweithio, ar broses ac ar ymgysylltu), i fod yn rhan o’r ‘sgwrs chwilgar’ – arlein, yn Storiel ,dros swper, ar y bws, ac wrth fynd am dro.  

  • Y man cychwyn ar gyfer ein sgwrs chwilgar oedd egwyddorion a phrosesau unigryw Utopias Bach mewn perthynas â chelf sy’n ymgysylltu’n gymdeithasol, a hefyd y cwestiynau a godir yn Mappa Mundi gan Paul Davies /World Map According to You gan Michal Iwanowski (gwefan Celf ar y Cyd) ac ym mhoster Tân a Llif BECA (casgliad Storiel).

  • Mae gweithgaredd celf cyfoes ymgysylltiol yn aml yn cynnwys cydweithio gyda pobl a chymunedau y tu hwnt i furiau orielau. Gall hyn, yn aml, arwain at greu arteffactau/gweithiau celfyddydol – megis sgwrs, perfformiad, ffilm, gwaith sain neu osodiad arall o rhyw fath. Gall hyn fod yn anodd i’w cynnwys neu eu cynrychioli o fewn ‘cabinet’ – boed hwnnw yn gabinet rhithiol (fel gwefan Celf ar y Cyd) neu gabinet go iawn (fel yr un yn Storiel), neu yn wir yn ‘gabinet’ y byd celf yn ei gyfanrwydd.

  • Mae ein ‘sgwrs chwilgar’, sy’n cynnwys ein mis yn Storiel, yn parhau. Ein nod yw archwilio [sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o’r cabinet. Sut gallai gweithgaredd celfyddydol cydweithredol ac ymgysylltiol fod yn berthnasol i oriel gelf genedlaethol gyfoes ar gyfer Cymru (gwefan Celf ar y Cyd) a chasgliad Storiel?

  • Mae'r tudalen yma ac ein gosodiad, ein perfformiadau a’n cardiau post yn Storiel, Bangor (mis Medi - mis Hydref 2024) yn eich gwahodd chi i fod yn rhan o’n sgwrs chwilgar sy’n adlewyrchu ar natur a lleoliad celf ymgysylltiol – [sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o’r cabinet?

  • Cydnabyddiaeth am y gydnabyddiaeth: Deilliodd y fformat hwn ar gyfer rhoi cydnabyddiaeth (gan ystyried natur gydweithredol y gweithiau a’r cyd-destun ar gyfer eu creu) o sgwrs rhwng Lisa Hudson, Wanda Zyborska, Lindsey Colbourne, Elinor Gwynn a Siân Barlow (12.8.24).

    Paratowyd y cydnabyddiaethau gan Lindsey Colbourne.

    Ni fyddai’r gwaith hwn wedi bod yn bosib heb y gymuned a’r awyrgylch ofalgar a grëwyd gan Utopias Bach & Carreg Creative wrth ddatblygu a chynnal y Sgyrsiau Chwilgar.

  • A curious conversation - is hosted by Carreg Creative - in partnership with Utopias Bach - as part of a commission by Wales National Contemporary Art Gallery and Storiel, Bangor.

    For our commission, Carreg Creative (Lisa Hudson and Lindsey Colbourne with Wanda Zyborska) invited creatives and the creative collective Utopias Bach, whose practice focuses on collaboration, process and engagement, to take part in a ‘curious conversation – [how to get] into and out of the cabinet’ online, at Storiel, over dinner, on walks, on the bus.  

  • The starting point for our curious conversation was Utopias Bach’s unique principles and processes in socially engaged art, and questions raised by Paul Davies’ Mappa Mundi /World Map According to You by Michal Iwanowski (both on Celf ar y Cyd website) and Tân a Llif Poster BECA (in Storiel’s Collection).

  • The ‘outside the gallery’ nature of engaged contemporary art practice
    often results in artefacts/art works as a parallel strand of collaborative, embodied activity which encompasses conversation, performance, film, sound and installation. These are difficult to ‘contain’ or represent within a ‘cabinet’, whether a virtual cabinet (Celf ar y Cyd website) or a physical cabinet (like the one at Storiel) or even within the ‘cabinet’ of the art world as a whole.

  • Our ongoing ‘curious conversation’, which includes our month at Storiel explores [how to get] into and out of the cabinet: How could engaged practice relate to the national contemporary art gallery for Wales (Celf ar y Cyd website) and Storiel’s collection?

  • This page, and our installation, performance and postcards at Storiel, Bangor (Sept- Oct 2024) invite you to be part of our curious conversation, reflecting on the nature and location of engaged art – [how to get] into and out of the cabinet?

  • Credit for the credit: This format for the credit, recognizing the contextual and collaborative nature of the works came from a conversation involving Lisa Hudson, Wanda Zyborska, Lindsey Colbourne, Elinor Gwynn and Siân Barlow (12.8.24).

I think I had the idea of how to adapt one of my angry poems into postcard /angry poem-book form at a conversation we had quite recently, probably the one where Kar & Wanda originally put forward their ideas about adding an off-site exhibition (Cabinet Meeting 15.7.24). Also, it is credited to Oriel Myrddin, for generously explaining in an email to many people that I and some others had been unprofessional and inconsiderate, which unfortunately may damage our careers. Since they were being paid good money to do that important work by Arts Council Wales, its also credited to ACW.   Translation: Elinor Gwynn.
