Meetings at the Edge
‘Nexus’: a connection or a series of connections linking two or more things
This exhibition looks at some of the ways in which 21st -century artists and makers are changing preconceptions about their art forms.
Jewellery, silversmithing, textiles and ceramics all have long histories and deep-rooted traditions behind them. Today their familiar, often restricting, boundaries are being expanded by makers taking leaps of imagination and devising fresh approaches to the way they work. Several pieces in this exhibition are hybrids that are impossible to categorise.
The exhibitors in Nexus are linked by great technical skill, a capacity for free thinking and confidence in their ideas. However, each has found their own way of extending the boundaries of their art form.
Nexus celebrates the unexpected. None of the work in this exhibition may be quite what it seems…

Cyfarfodydd ar y Ffin
‘Nexus’: cysylltiad neu gyfres o gysylltiadau’n cysylltu dau neu fwy o bethau
Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn ystyried rhai o’r ffyrdd y bydd artistiaid a gwneuthurwyr yr unfed ganrif ar hugain yn newid rhagdybiaethau ynglyˆn â’u ffurfiau ar gelfyddyd.
Mae gemwaith, gofannu arian, tecstilau a serameg i gyd â hanes maith a thraddodiadau sydd wedi’u gwreiddio’n ddwfn, yn gefn iddyn nhw. Heddiw mae eu
ffiniau cyfarwydd, sy’n cyfyngu’n aml, yn cael eu hymestyn gan wneuthurwyr sy’n llamu ymlaen â’u dychymyg ac yn dyfeisio agwedd ffres tuag at eu ffordd o weithio. Mae sawl darn yn yr arddangosfa hon yn gymysgryw ac yn amhosib eu categoreiddio.
Fe gysylltir yr arddangoswyr yn Nexus â dawn dechnegol sylweddol, gallu i feddwl yn rhydd a hyder yn eu syniadau. Mae pob un, fodd bynnag, wedi dod o hyd i’w ffordd eu hunain o ymestyn ffiniau eu ffurf ar gelfyddyd.
Mae Nexus yn dathlu’r annisgwyl. Mae’n bosib nad yw’r un o’r darnau yn yr arddangosfa hon yn union fel y mae’n ymddangos…
