Exhibition open
8th - 9th APRIL
12-4pm
Private View 7th April 6.30-8.30pm
Polyester paganism by Abi Hubbard charts the journey of the project which was inspired by slime mould and how it reflects the queer community with its beautiful and alien
transformative properties. Celebrating the joy of difference and discovery.
Abi Hubbard is a multidisciplinary artist who creates wearable art , installation and films.
She is interested in exploring the intersection of arts , ecology and spirituality to explore
new ways of living. Harnessing fun and theatrical materials to create a new language that
negates human exceptionalism and champions the absurd , unknown , messy, maverick
future world.

Golygfa breifat 7fed Ebrill 6.30 - 8.30pm

Mae paganiaeth polyester gan Abi Hubbard yn olrhain taith y prosiect a ysbrydolwyd gan
lwydni llysnafedd a sut mae'n adlewyrchu'r gymuned queer gyda'i nodweddion
trawsnewidiol hardd ac estron. Dathlu llawenydd gwahaniaeth a darganfyddiad.
Mae Abi Hubbard yn artist amlddisgyblaethol sy’n creu celf gwisgadwy, gosodiadau a
ffilmiau. Mae ganddi ddiddordeb mewn archwilio croestoriad y celfyddydau, ecoleg ac
ysbrydolrwydd i archwilio ffyrdd newydd o fyw. Harneisio deunyddiau hwyliog a theatraidd i
greu iaith newydd sy’n negyddu eithriadoldeb dynol ac sy’n hyrwyddo byd abswrd,
anhysbys, anniben, gwallgof y dyfodol.

FEATURED PERFORMERS:
SETH GUY:
Seth Guy appropriates, reconfigures and juxtaposes materials to create playful performative works which explore the discourse between ear and eye.
Influenced by his interests in experimental fiction, art, and music, Seth's research investigates the intersections of shared language, of memory, and imagination, in which the acts of listening and visualising are investigated. Often collaborating and devising projects of a participatory and experiential nature, Seth makes both sonic art and visual art - sound compositions, performances, and collage - work which is often humorous, and occasionally disquieting.
