Prosiectau • Projects

[English below]

Yn ogystal â rhaglen arddangosfeydd yr oriel, rydym yn gweithio gydag artistiaid ar brosiectau arbennig gwahanol o bob math. Mae hyn wedi bod yn rhan o DNA yr oriel ers y dechrau - ac yn rhan o berthynas yr oriel â’i hartistiaid, yn gwireddu dymuniadau a ceisio cyfleuon diddorol

Cynhwysa hyn BANER, sef prosiect parhaol lle comisiyna TEN artistiaid - o fewn ac o du allan i’w stabl o artistiaid - i greu celfwaith ar gyfer y baner sy’n cyhwfan uwchben adeilad yr oriel. Digwyddodd y dadorchuddio cyntaf ym mis Rhagfyr 2022 a thros y blynyddoedd bydd llu o fflagiau gan artistiaid amlycaf Cymru yn cronni

•••

Concurrent with the gallery’s exhibition programme, we work with artists on special projects. Such projects have been a part for the gallery’s DNA since the very beginning - and is part of the gallery’s relationship with its artists, seeking interesting opportunities and acting on artists’s aspirations

This includes BANNER, a continuous project which sees TEN commission artists - from within and outside of its stable - to create artwork for a flag which flies outside the gallery’s building. The inaugural unfurling took place in December 2022 and over the years, a fluttering of flags by Cymru’s most prominent artists will amass

Mae holl orielau cysylltiedig EAST yn falch iawn o gyhoeddi y rhifyn nesaf o Benwythnos Orielau’r Rhath - penwythnos hir yn dathlu creadigrwydd y gymdogaeth fywiog yma.

Gwel penwythnos y 15-17 o Fai rhaglen o weithgareddau brwd - gyda oriau agor estynedig a digwyddiadau arbennig wedi’u hamserlennu. Mae nifer o’r orielau wedi cynllunio digwyddiad i gyd-fynd â’u harddangosfeydd - sydd yn cynnwys cerfluniau, ffotograffiaeth, paentiadau a crefft. Bydd nifer o’r orielau ar agor tan yn hwyr ar y nos Wener a fydd yn amser perffaith i fynd o naill le i’r llall.

Ar y dydd Sadwrn, mae diwrnod llawn digwyddiadau i bob oed a beth bynnag yw eich chwaeth - dechreuwch yn PAM gyda gweithdy gwnïo cyn mynd i Oriel Celf am berfformiadau dawns sy'n ymateb i'w arddangosfa ac yna ymlaen am luniaeth yn Oriel Albany ymhlith eu harddangosfa â thema arfordirol iddi. Mae gwerthiant archif Cardiff M.A.D.E o weithiau gan artistiaid cysylltiol sy'n cwmpasu'r 7 mlynedd diwethaf ar agor drwy'r dydd, ac yn Oriel Makers bydd gweithdy 'Gwnewch eich Tusw Eich Hun' a gynhelir gan Dor Creative ar gael. Yn g39, trochwch eich hun yng nghelf cydweithredol yr artistiaid Umulkhayr Mohamed a Radha Pate ac yna ewch i Ffotogallery i weld gwaith dau enillydd Gwobr Jerwood/Photoworks.

Ddydd Sul yn TEN, mae bore yng nghwmni'r artist nodedig Iwan Bala ymhlith ei arddangosfa ddiweddaraf a fydd yn cynnwys darlleniadau o’r barddoniaeth sy'n ymddangos yn ei waith. Gorffennwch y penwythnos gyda phrynhawn o jazz byw yn Oriel Celf.

Am y tro cyntaf, mae’r Penwythnos yn ehangu i gynnwys lleoliadau a digwyddiadau frinj. Mae'r rhestr bellach yn cynnwys nifer o weithdai, stiwdios a gofodau amgen, gan gynnwys Cardiff Pottery Workshop, Stiwdio Gemwaith Emma-Kate, Stiwdios Unstable Arts, ac oriel West Wall Gallery yn Urban Crofters. Mae'r ychwanegiadau hyn nid yn unig yn dangos ymhellach yr egni creadigol ffyniannus sydd yn y Rhath ond hefyd yn ehangu cwmpas - a hwyl - y penwythnos cyfan.

Cydweithio Creadigol

O dan faner Penwythnos yr Orielau, mae busnesau, sefydliadau ac unigolion creadigol wedi'u huno i ddathlu ysbryd entrepreneuraidd bywiog cymuned gelfyddydol Caerdydd. Mae hyn yn rhychwantu cenedlaethau: yn cynnwys eiconau hirhoedlog fel Oriel Albany (sydd bellach yn ei 60fed flwyddyn) ochr yn ochr â newydd-ddyfodiaid sy'n tyfu'n gyflym fel Cardiff Pottery Workshop. Mae dau brif ffactor yn ganolog i lwyddiant y lleoliadau hyn - y cyntaf yw sut mae eu gwreiddiau’n ddwfn yn y gymdogaeth, pob un yn chwarae rhan unigryw a hanfodol nid yn unig yn yr Rhath a gwead diwylliannol y ddinas ehangach, ond mae llawer yn cyrraedd cynulleidfa ryngwladol. Yr ail yw'r unigolion sydd wedi sefydlu’r mannau hyn - arweinwyr yn y sector creadigol annibynnol a'r sector creadigol a ariennir yn gyhoeddus - sy’n hyrwyddo, hwyluso a rhedeg y lleoliadau gyda gweledigaeth, egni a chariad at y celfyddydau gweledol.

Mae'r Penwythnos yn denu mewnlifiad enfawr o ymwelwyr sy'n teithio o un lleoliad i'r llall, gan ymgolli'n llwyr mewn diwylliant gweledol cyfoes Cymru. Drwy fapio busensau lleol fel siopau coffi annibynnol, mae'r digwyddiad yn ymdrechu i sicrhau bod y gymdogaeth gyfan yn rhannu yn ei lwyddiant.

‘Mae'n gwneud synnwyr llwyr ein tynnu ni i gyd at ein gilydd ar gyfer penwythnos wedi'i raglennu’ meddai Cat Gardiner, cynhyrchydd Penwythnos Orielau’r Rhath a chyfarwyddwr TEN. ‘Unwaith y byddwch chi'n sylweddoli nifer enfawr yr orielau a'r busnesau creadigol ym milltir sgwâr fach y Rhath, mae angen nodi hynny. Mae'r penwythnosau ddwywaith y flwyddyn yn denu tyrfaoedd fawr sy’n gwneud y rowndiau, yn treulio amser yn yr ardal ac yn cymryd rhan - mae'n rhoi hwb i fusnesau, yn cynyddu amlygrwydd, ie, ond yn bwysicaf oll, yn dangos faint o gelf sy'n digwydd yn y ddinas. Mae Penwythnos yr Orielau yn dyst gwirioneddol i bwysigrwydd hanfodol y diwydiannau creadigol a'r meddyliau entrepreneuraidd sy'n eu gyrru - rydym yn adweithiol iawn, ac yn symud ymlaen bob amser.’

Dyma pumed ddigwyddiad cydweithredol orielau EAST – wedi llwyddiant ysgubol y benwythnos gyntaf o’r fath ym mis Mai 2024. Am ffordd i adlewyrchu hunaniaeth fywiog, greadigol a ffyniannus y Rhath a pha esgus gwych i dreulio penwythnos llawn diwylliant!

The associated galleries of EAST are delighted to announce the next edition of the Roath Gallery Weekend - a long weekend highlighting and celebrating the creativity of this vibrant Cardiff neighbourhood.

The RGW, which runs 15-17 May, will see a varied and dynamic programme - with late night openings and special events scheduled throughout the weekend. The galleries have coordinated events to complement their current exhibition - which range from sculpture, photography, painting and craft. The Friday will also see many venues staying open later than usual, perfect for an evening of gallery-hopping.

On the Saturday, there is a day full of events for all ages and whatever your taste - start at PAM with a sewing workshop before heading to Celf Gallery for site responsive dance performances and then on for some refreshments at the Albany Gallery amongst their coastal-themed exhibition. Cardiff M.A.D.E’s wonderful archive sale of works by associate artists spanning the last 7 years is open all day, and at Oriel Makers a ‘Make your own Bouquet’ drop in workshop facilitated by Dor Creative will be in progress. At artist-led g39, immerse yourself in the collaborative practice of artists Umulkhayr Mohamed and Radha Pate and then head to Ffotogallery to see the work of two international Jerwood/Photoworks Award winners.

Sunday at TEN, there is a morning in the company of the legendary artist Iwan Bala amongst his latest exhibition which includes poetry readings of words featured in his work. Close the weekend with an afternoon of live jazz at Celf Gallery.

For the first time, the Gallery Weekend is expanding its programme to include fringe locations and events. The lineup now features several workshops, studios and art spaces, including Cardiff Pottery Workshop, Emma-Kate Jewellery Studio, Unstable Artists Studios, and the West Wall Gallery at Urban Crofters. These additions not only showcase the burgeoning creative energy of Roath but also widen the scope - and the fun - of the entire weekend.

Creative Collaboration

Under the banner of Gallery Weekend, creative businesses, institutions, and individuals are united to celebrate the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit of Cardiff’s arts community. This spans generations: featuring longstanding icons like The Albany Gallery (now in its 60th year) alongside fast-growing newcomers like Cardiff Pottery Workshop. Two main factors are central to the success of these venues - the first is how their roots are embedded in the neighbourhood, each playing a unique and vital role in not only Roath and the wider city's cultural fabric but many reach an international audience. The second is the forward-thinking individuals - leaders in both the independent and funded creative sector - who establish, facilitate and run the spaces with vision, energy and love for the visual arts.

The Weekend draws a massive influx of visitors who navigate from one location to the next, deeply immersing themselves in contemporary Welsh visual culture. By mapping local gems like independent coffee shops, the event strives to ensures the entire neighbourhood shares in its success.

‘It makes complete sense to draw us all together for a programmed weekend’ says Cat Gardiner, the producer of the Roath Gallery Weekend and director of gallery TEN. ‘Once you realise the sheer number of galleries and creative businesses in the small square mile of Roath, it needs to be noted. The bi-annual weekends draw such big crowds doing the rounds, spending time in the area and getting involved - it boosts businesses, increases exposure, yes, but most importantly, shows how much art is going on in the city. The Gallery Weekend serves as a true testament to the vital importance of the creative industries and the entrepreneurial minds that drive them - we are highly reactive, and always moving forward.’

This is the fifth collaborative event from the EAST galleries - following the success of the inaugural weekend held in May 2024. What a way to reflect the active, creative and inclusive identity of Roath and what a great excuse to spend a culture-filled weekend!

I ddechrau rhaglen arddanogsfeydd y flwyddyn 2026, dadorchuddiwyd baner newydd yr oriel - y seithfed yn y gyfres a gomisynwyd. Y tro hwn, pleser oedd gwahodd artist yr oriel Iwan Bala i ddylunio’r faner

Ar y Sadwrn, mae diwrnod llawn digwyddiadau i bob oedran ac beth bynnag bo’ch blas - dechreuwch yn PAM mewn gweithdy tecstiliau cyn mynd am g39 i ymuno â’r ‘Neighbourhood Crowd’ ola y flwyddyn. Ymdrochwch yn arddangosfa ffotograffiaeth Ffotogallery ac ymlaen wedyn i gwrdd â rhai o artistiaid Albany Gallery sydd yn rhan o’i harddangosfa Aeaf flynyddol. Yn TEN, mae prynhawn yng nghwmni’r artist John Abell, paentiwr ei harddangosfa ddiweddaraf; mae naws Nadoligaidd yn Oriel Makers gyda chrefft gwneuthurwyr penigamp, a cloï’r y diwrnod yn Cardiff M.A.D.E. wrth iddynt ddathlu lansio eu harddangosfa agored. Ar y Sul, bydd cerddoriaeth jazz byw yn Celf Gallery, a cyfle i greu torch Nadoligaidd gyda’r hwyr yn Cardiff M.A.D.E.

Pleser yw cyhoeddi taw elusen ddewisiedig y penwythnos yw PAPYRUS, elusen cenedlaethol sydd yn gweithio i atal hunanladdiad pobl ifanc. Bydd yr arian a gasglir dros y penwythnos yn helpu’r elusen i redeg gwasanaeth llinell gymorth gyfrinachol, HOPELINE247, sy'n cynnig cyngor a chefnogaeth ymarferol i bobl ifanc sy'n cael trafferth gyda bywyd ac unrhyw un sy'n poeni am berson ifanc a allai fod â meddyliau am hunanladdiad. Edrychwn ymlaen at gefnogi a bod yn eiriol dros elusen sydd ag arwyddocâd newydd i ni fel cydweithfa o orielau.

Dyma bedwaredd ddigwyddiad cydweithredol orielau EAST – wedi llwyddiant ysgubol y benwythnos gyntaf o’r fath ym mis Mai 2024. Am ffordd i adlewyrchu hunaniaeth fywiog, greadigol y Rhath a pha esgus gwych i dreulio penwythnos llawn diwylliant!

The associated galleries of EAST are proud to present the next iteration of Roath Gallery Weekend (RGW), the third edition

The galleries have coordinated events to complement their current exhibition - which range from photography, textile, painting, print and craft. The Friday will also see many venues staying open later than usual - and a number of exhibition launches, at Cardiff M.A.D.E, Celf Gallery and g39 - perfect for an evening of gallery-hopping

The various events continue over the Sunday - live music, a jewellery workshop and refreshments in several locations

This is the third collaborative event from the EAST galleries - following the success of the inaugural weekend held in May 2024 and a winter edition held last November. What a way to reflect the active, creative and inclusive identity of Roath and what a great excuse to spend a culture-filled weekend!

Dadorchuddiwyd comisiwn diweddaraf baner yr oriel - y pumed yn y gyfres - yn ystod arddangosfa aeaf 2024. Y tro hwn, pleser oedd gwahodd yr artist Manon Awst i ddylunio’r faner. Crea Awst gerfluniau a gwaith safel-benodol wedi’u plethu â naratifau ecolegol. Mae ei baner 'Dal Rhwng y Llanw' yn cysylltu gyda’i gwaith cyfredol o archwilio ecoleg arfordiroedd lleol iddi yng ngogledd orllewin Cymru, gan bortreadu wystrysen anferth wedi ei gorchuddio â chregyn llong. Yn draddodiadol, mi fyddai wystrys wedi bod yn ffynhonell o faeth ac incwm mewn sawl rhan o arfordir Cymru, a gwel Awst y gallent chwarae rhan bwysig yn y dyfodol fel creaduriaid sy'n bwydo drwy hidlo ac a all eu meithrin yn llwyddiannus ar hyd glannau’r wlad

•••

The latest banner commission - the fifth in the series - was unfurled as part of the winter exhibition 2024. This time, it was a pleasure to invite the artist Manon Awst to design the flag. Awst creates sculptures, performances and site-specific artworks woven with ecological narratives. Her banner 'Still Intertidal' connects to her ongoing work exploring the ecology of her local coastline in north-west Cymru, depicting a larger-than-life oyster shell colonised by barnacles. Oysters would have traditionally been an important source of nutrition and income along many parts of the Welsh coast, and Awst sees that they have an important role to play in the future as filter-feeders which can be successfully cultivated on our shores.

On the Saturday, there was the opportunity to drop in to madeinroath and add a square to the ‘Quilt for Palestine’, or take any inspiring shutterbugs to Ffotogallery’s Young Photographers workshop; before sampling local live music at Celf Gallery. Across the road, Albany Gallery provided sustenance and promoting the Arts Council of Wales’s Collectorplan scheme, while a stone’s throw away, Cardiff M.A.D.E hosted their annual spring plant sale. g39 offered the opportunity to meet the curator, Cymru’s largest artist run space, and the the makers at the long-standing co-operative Oriel Makers welcomed visitors to meet with them; while at TEN, photographer Jon Pountney presented a guided talk around his current exhibition.

This was the first collaborative event from the EAST galleries - the first of many intended Roath Gallery Weekends. What a way to reflect the active, creative and inclusive identity of Roath and what a great excuse to spend a culture-filled weekend!

Mae EAST yn fap papur a digidol sy'n hyrwyddo'r 8 oriel sydd wedi ymgartrefi yn ardal y Rhath yn Nwyrain Caerdydd. Nid oes dwy oriel yr un fath ac nid oes dwy ohonynt fwy na milltir oddi wrth ei gilydd

Mae pob lleoliad yn cynnig profiad a maes arbenigedd gwahanol - o ffotograffiaeth rhyngwladol a cenedlaethol (Ffotogallery, oddi ar Crwys Rd) i grefftau o ansawdd uchel (Oriel Makers, Pen-y-Lan Pl); o’r rhai a arweinir gan artistiaid (g39, oddi ar City R) i’r rhai a ganolbwyntia ar y gymuned (madeinroath, Inverness Pl a Cardiff M.A.D.E, Lochaber St). Mae orielau annibynnol gorau Cymru wedi'u cynnwys yn ogystal - gan gynnwys yr oriel sydd wedi’i sefydlu hiraf yng Nghaerdydd (Albany Gallery, Albany Rd), arbenigwyr celf gyfoes (TEN, Donald St) a'r oriel fwyaf newydd i ymsefydlu yn yr ardal (Celf Gallery, Bangor St)

Crëwyd y mapiau gan Cat Gardiner, perchennog TEN, a lansiwyd hi ym mis Chwefror, ac mae'r mapiau wedi cael derbyniad da. ‘Cyflwynodd y syniad ei hun, a dweud y gwir!’ meddai Cat, ‘Mae’n gwneud synnwyr ein cysylltu ni i gyd gyda’n gilydd mewn ffordd sy’n annog ymwelwyr, yn cyflwyno cyfle i gydweithio ac yn cryfhau hunaniaeth greadigol y Rhath’

Mae mapiau ar gael o bob lleoliad, a disgwyliwch ddigwyddiadau EAST yn y dyfodol - gan gynnwys Penwythnos Orielau’r Rhath fydd yn digwydd yn fuan

EAST is both a physical and digital map promoting the 8 galleries that have found a home in the district of Roath in East Cardiff. No two galleries are alike and no two are more than 1 mile apart

Each location offers a different experience and area of expertise - from national and international photography (Ffotogallery, off Crwys Rd) to high-quality craft (Makers Gallery, Pen-y-Lan Pl); from the forward-thinking artist-led (g39, off City Rd) to the vibrant community-focused (madeinroath, Inverness Pl and Cardiff M.A.D.E, Lochaber St). Also included are three of the best independent galleries in Wales - the longest-standing gallery in Cardiff (Albany Gallery, Albany Road), contemporay art specialist (TEN, Donald St) the newest gallery to make Roath their home (Celf Gallery, Bangor Street)

Created by Cat Gardiner, the gallerist of TEN and launched in February, the maps have been well received. ‘The idea presented itself, really!’ stated Cat, ‘It just makes sense to link us all together in a way which encourages visitors, opens up the opportunity to collaborate and strengthens the creative identity of Roath’

Maps are available from each location, and keep an eye out for future EAST events - including the upcoming inaugural Roath Gallery Weekend.

Dadorchuddiwyd baner newyddl yn ystod arddangosfa aeaf yr oriel - y drydydd yn y gyfres. Y tro hwn, pleser oedd cael gwaith Laura Ford ar y faner - darlun o ‘Little Lord’, sef un o’r cerfluniau a grewyd ar gyfer ei harddangosfa bythgofiadwy yng Nghastell Coch yn 2019

Our 2023 Winter exhibition saw the unfurling of a new gallery banner - the third in the series. This time, gallery artist Laura Ford was the commissioned to produce the banner which featured a drawing of ‘Little Lord’, a sculpture created for her memorable and significant exhibition Squatters at Castell Coch in 2019

Mae’r artist ceramig a gwydr Southgate wedi’i comisiynu i greu corff o weithiau celf newydd gan SAINT LAURENT ar gyfer siop Rive Droite ar Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris ac ar Rodeo Drive, LA. Mae’r comisiwn hwn yn cynnwys datblygiad pellach yng nghyfres bop Southgate – cyfres sy’n cynnwys pils ceramig a lolis. Mae'r balwnau du, a ddangoswyd gyntaf yn 2022, wedi'u datblygu i ymgorffori DNA SAINT LAURENT. Mae balŵns yn symbol o blentyndod, maent yn arwydd byd-eang o ddathlu ond mae iteriad Southgate - trwy ei dewis o ddeunyddiau a lliwiau - yn trechu'r emosiynau a'r atgofion a gysylltwn â'r gwrthrychau llawen hyn. Ceir hefyd gwaith newydd o afalau taffi enfawr - yn diferu mewn gwydredd du - yn nodi’r tymor. Yn y gyfres hon, mae Southgate yn dal y tensiwn rhwng prosesau dynol a diwydiannol, rhwng hiraeth a moderniaeth, moethusrwydd a’r byrhoedlog. Bydd canlyniad y comisiwn hwn yn cael ei arddangos yn y ddau leoliad tan 11|2023

The gallery has worked closely with ceramic and glass artist Sophie Southgate on a large scale commission for SAINT LAURENT. A new series of ceramic artworks will be displayed at both Rive Droite stores on Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris and Rodeo Drive, Los Angeles. The commission sees a further development in Southgate’s pop series, with the black balloons, first showcased at the gallery in 2022, being developed to incorporate the SAINT LAURENT DNA. Balloons are symbolic of childhood, they are global emblems of celebration but Southgate’s iteration - through her choice of materials and colour - upend the emotions and memories that we attach to these joyful objects. A brand new artwork of oversized toffee apples - imposing and dripping in black glaze - sit in the windows, a nod to the season. In this series, Southgate captures the tension between humanmade and industrial processes, between nostalgia and modernity, luxury and ephemerality. The commissioned artworks will be on display in both locations until November 8th
