🎭 Stage II / Llwyfan II – @bayartcardiff Cardiff Bay 🎨 📅 19 Sept – 11 Oct Stage II is the second instalment of the touring exhibition Stage, curated by Liam O’Connor, James Moore & Abi Birkinshaw. Explore dynamic Stages made from drawings, textiles, fabric & found materials, and Actors, smaller works placed on top, all forming a constantly evolving art experience. ✨ Visitors can interact by moving Actors across Stages, creating ever-changing installations. Every visit is unique, no two experiences are the same! #bayartcardiff #cardiffart #interactiveexhibition #welshartist #artincardiff #contemporaryart

🔥 Opening this Friday at @bayartcardiff 🔥 Stage II lands in Cardiff. Finally, the first part of this project was shown at Kingsgate Project Space, and then life, buildings, and plans all shifted. Since then, BayArt’s been under construction, and we’ve been figuring out what kind of space and organisation we want to be, trying things, and working on plans. Now, with a brilliant crew of members and associates, we’re pushing forward as a team. The gallery’s getting there — and Stage II feels good to get back into curating instead of just chasing building issues. The show is about flexibility, collaboration, and rethinking. This autumn, we aim to take it to Plymouth’s Mirror with the support of Dan Howard-Birt, who worked with us on the initial stage show at Kingsgate project space. We will add artists as we go and keep the project evolving. 📅 Friday. BayArt. Cardiff. #StageII #BayArtCardiff #CardiffArts #ExhibitionOpening Stage II 19 September–11 October Opening night: Friday 19 September, 6pm – late BayArt Gallery, 54B/C Bute Street, Cardiff CF10 5AF —————— Llwyfan II 19 Medi–11 Hydref Noson agor: Dydd Gwener 19 Medi, 6pm – hwyr Oriel BayArt, 54B/C Stryd Bute, Caerdydd CF10 5AF Stage is a multi-artist installation and zine project curated by LLE . The artworks all relate to the theme of ‘stage’. The first installation was at Kingsgate Project Space, Kilburn, London. The installation consists of two formats of artwork: 1. large backdrops. 2. small works on panels. Participating artists are invited to produce both backdrops and small works on panels. Artists will be added throughout the duration on the show The backdrops are hung on the gallery walls and are at least 1 metre in height or width. They are large-scale drawings, paintings, textile and fabric hangings, and pre-existing items such as posters. The smaller works on wooden panels are hung on-top of the backdrops.The backdrop pieces are necessarily damaged during the installation, as holes are pierced through them to hang the smaller wooden panels on top. The installation is changed during the exhibition, with works being moved, added and removed.​ @bayartcardiff @lleprojects

I didn't take photos of everything but should have. Le Rat Mort was 🔥 thanks @thedavincitobe @aulapinagileprojects

From tomorrow! Private view this Saturday, 3–8ish. and we’ve all hand-coloured a bunch of invites that’ll be on sale for super cheap at the opening. Here are my four watercolours, alongside a few others. It’s going to be a great show from @thedavincitobe I’ve been a fan of Toby — his work and his curating — longer than I’ve been a fan of anyone else. His shows are always beautifully put together and thoughtfully idiosyncratic. A true 💎 It’s kick out time Au Lapin Agile, Freddie has sung his last song. ‘Too Le Rat Mort!!’ someone cries and this merry band of painters rolled down the hill to Place Pigalle and into this house of ill repute. Le Rat Mort stank. Some said it was the cheap paint from the recent refit, others said a rodent had perished in the beer line. At least it was lively. Baudelaire is in, accosting Rimbaud for stabbing Verlaine in the wrists: ‘An experiment’ Rimbaud protests. Courbet is passed out again,having diluted his absinthe with white wine. Zola is penning ‘The Masterpiece’ in a corner. Lautrec is at his easel in a ‘private room’. Ever sociable Manet is in of course, shaking hands with everyone bar Cezanne who has just snubbed him. Commotion!! Suzanne Valadon has just entered, sliding down the banister wearing nothing but a carnival mask. Another painter is at work: it Joseph Faverot, covered in plaster as he frescos the walls, it’s his masterpiece: the four stages of a rats life: Baptism, Wedding, Orgy then Death. ‘I have an idea for a painting show’ someone says. @juanbolivarstudio2112 @brian_cheeswright @filippo.caramazza @matthew.collings_ @issyeberlin @archie.franks @willhar_ @peterjonesart @melissa.kime @philkingpictures @ted.mckenzie_ @vanessamitter @issi_nash1 @gary.spratt71 @grant_watson_paintings @casperwhitecasper #leratmort #painting #art #exhibition #peckham Reposted from @thedavincitobe
