The Symposium - Saturday 14 September 2024 - Sponsored by Ecoamgueddfa Llŷn - https://www.ecoamgueddfa.org/?lang=en

Pen Llŷn artists Junko Mori and John Egan, are embarking on an ambitious project titled Coed / Coexist with a symposium as its starting point. The essence of the project draws our attention to trees and woodland, seeking out wider connections, desires and reliance on these ecosystems while connecting community, creativity and environmental stewardship. The whole project aspires to celebrate the local area and the communities based in Pen Llŷn. 
 

Working with Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, on the coast in Llanbedrog, the artists have instigated a day-long symposium on Saturday 14 September 2024.

Join Bedwyr Williams as he discusses his works, including 'Tyrrau Mawr’ and 'Older Artist' which are on show at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw until 22nd of September 2024.

Bedwyr Williams uses multimedia, performance and text to explore the friction between the deadly serious and the banal aspects of life.
He often draws on his own autobiographic existence merging art and life with a comedic – and frequently satirical – twist, his work is instantaneously sympathetic and relational.

His work ‘Tyrrau Mawr’ is on show at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw along with 'Older Artist' exhibtion until 22 September 2024. The moving image installation takes as its starting point the tradition of Welsh landscape painting. Created using the visual effects technique of ‘matte painting’ the mountainous terrain of North Wales appears in disconcertingly sharp digital quality and becomes the location for a futuristic mega city. As the cityscape changes from night to day, a voiceover, written and narrated by the artist, tells the story of the inhabitants of this brave new world.
