The ‘outside the gallery’ nature of engaged contemporary art practice often results in artefacts/art works as a parallel strand of collaborative, embodied activity which encompasses conversation, performance, film, sound and installation. These are difficult to ‘contain’ or represent within a ‘cabinet’, whether a virtual cabinet (Celf ar y Cyd website) or a physical cabinet (like the one at Storiel) or even within the ‘cabinet’ of the art world as a whole.
Our installation, website, performances and postcards invite you to be part of our ongoing Curious Conversation, reflecting on the nature and location of engaged art – [how to get] into and out of the cabinet?
