Melin Glonc, Drefelin, Carmarthenshire SA44 5XB
Since 2009, the annual site specific show, Rhôd, which requires the invited artists to respond to this unique location in Drefelin, Carmarthenshire, has provided a platform for exploring the making of art in a rural context.
Using the 11 acre grounds and spaces within the 16th C mill, this year’s exhibition will feature new site-specific artworks in a variety of media, including sculpture, installation, performance, sonic art, relational /participatory art, and video.
It would seem that in an increasingly globalised world that art, for all its internationalist aspirations, is enriched by the artists who making work have a sense of the square mile/y filltir sgwar from which they come. Each member of the Rhôd Committee will be exploring the theme in this year’s exhibition in collaboration with an invited artist:
Toby Downing/Sean Vicary
Mark Halliday/David Shepherd
Jade Mellor/Jacob Whittaker
Sean Olsen/Roger Lougher
Beatrice Williams/Kathryn Campbell Dodd
Sera Wyn Walker/Bob Gelsthorpe
Gemma Green-Hope and George Manson/penny d jones
Sam Vicary & Elizabeth Waterhouse
Rhôd is grateful to The Arts Council of Wales for its continued support of the 6th annual exhibition.
Rhôd 2014 – Yr Arddangosfa
Agor dydd Sul 25 Mai. Mae’r safle ar agor 11-5 trwy gydol yr wythnos ganlynol neu drwy apwyntiad ar adegau eraill (Dydd Sadwrn 31ain yn cau am 4yh).
Ers 2009, mae’r sioe gelf osodiadol, Rhôd, sydd yn gofyn i’r artistiaid a ddewiswyd ymateb i’r lleoliad unigryw hwn yn Nhrefelin, Sir Gar, wedi darparu llwyfan i archwilio creu celf mewn cyd-destun gwledig.
Bydd arddangosfa eleni yn cyflwyno gweithio celf safle benodol ar draws sawl cyfrwng gan gynnwys cerflunio, celf osodiadol,perfformiad, celf sonig, celf berthynol a chyfrannol, a fideo ymysg 11 acer o dir a gofodau tu fewn i’r felin hynafol,
Ymddengys, mewn byd sydd yn gynyddol eang, fod celf, gyda’i holl ddyheadau rhyngwladol, yn cael ei gyfoethogi gan artistiaid sydd yn gwneud gwaith gyda dealltwriaeth o’u milltir sgwâr.
Bydd pob aelod o Bwyllgor Rhôd yn ymchwilio’r thema hwn gan gyd-weithio gydag artist o’u dewis:
Toby Downing/Sean Vicary
Mark Halliday/David Shepherd
Jade Mellor/Jacob Whittaker
Sean Olsen/Roger Lougher
Beatrice Williams/Kathryn Campbell Dodd
Sera Wyn Walker/Bob Gelsthorpe
Gemma Green-Hope and George Manson/penny d jones
