The Galliard Ensemble in collaboration with Ashley Davies
Live Performance at the Exhibition Opening Reception ‘Without Words’
Oriel Mwldan, 20 November 6.00pm
The Galliard Ensemble and Ashley Davies have worked together for many years and share an innate understanding of each other’s work. Davies’ new works are inspired by, and in response to, classical and semi-improvised music by The Galliard Ensemble.
Davies’ exhibition Without Words explores the fragile beauty in urban imagery. During the opening evening, three musicians from The Galliard Ensemble will join her in the gallery space to demonstrate their effortless partnership, bringing art and music together.
The concert will include works by Mozart, Debussy and Beethoven and will provide with a rare and fascinating insight into how musical motifs inspire the rhythm and structure of Davies’ paintings.
Admission Free

Jake and Dinos Chapman: My Giant Colouring Book
A Hayward Gallery exhibition from the Southbank Centre, London on behalf of Arts Council England
Saturday 16 October – Saturday 13 November 2010
The Chapman brothers first came to prominence as part of the YBA (young British artists) movement of the 1990s. They featured in the Royal Academy’s seminal 1997 exhibition Sensation, showing a sculptural version of Goya’s disasters of war. Returning to Goya’s work in 2003, they caused outrage for painting their own ghoulish imagery over an original set of etchings.
My Giant Colouring Book returns to this method of working, this time appropriating join-the-dot drawings from a children’s picture book. The naïve innocence of the illustrations triggers a wild outpouring of fantastical imagery far removed from the original dot formations. This series of 21 etchings offers a fascinating introduction to the imaginations of two of Britain’s most inventive and subversive artists.
