LOBSGOWS: Peer to Peer Session
with Anna Falcini
18:00-19:30
Anna Falcini will discuss how the letters, notebooks and drawings of the artist Gwen John, are at the centre of her latest solo exhibition reimagining Gwen John: soft tissue. Anna shares how her research identified a recurrence of emotional intensities in John’s correspondence where John reveals how her emotions are equally at play in her intimate, spiritual and animal relationships.
She writes with the same passion about her cats as she does of her lover Auguste Rodin or her close female acquaintances. Where her intimate relationships falter, she turns towards God and lays bare her spiritual feelings.
Anna brings new readings of the archive and brings to the foreground these emotional conflicts through the materiality of fragile substances such as porcelain and fabric, the frivolous and decorative nature of a vermillion hairbow, or the actions of attending to the female body through the brushing of hair, realised through sculpture, performance, installation and watercolour drawings.
*LOBSGOWS is a special peer to peer series with an opportunity to have open discussions with artists in connection to work with Plas Glyn y Weddw.
The group started as a result to the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol at Boduan in 2023.
Free entry!
