The Glynn Vivian has launched a new, digital guide on Bloomberg Connects, a free arts and cultural app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies.

The app, available for download from Google Play or the App Store, makes Glynn Vivian accessible for either onsite or offsite visits through photo, audio and video features offering insights into exhibitions, collections, and programme.

Exclusive content on the app includes an audio introduction by Peter Wakelin, son of Swansea-based artists Richard and Rosemary Wakelin, to the Wakelin at 25 exhibition, as it celebrates 25 years of the award founded in their memory, supported by the Friends of the Glynn Vivian.

Users of the app can also listen again to past exhibitions talks and discussions with invited guest speakers, artists, writers and curators.

Glynn Vivian curator Karen MacKinnon said: "This is a fantastic free resource that will allow us to creatively share insights into the collection, upcoming exhibitions and our learning and engagement programmes."

We had a wonderful day exploring all things nautical here at the gallery. Beginning with Craig Wood’s painting Carmarthen – Leeds Return, families learned all about the lives of the Swansea ‘Cape Horners’ and the souvenirs they brought home from their travels. We then made our own souvenirs from reclaimed bottles and wood off cuts. Look out for more family workshops and events this summer!
The Glynn Vivian Learning team are trying hard to make their workshops as sustainable as possible by re-using materials that are a by-product of the gallery’s day-to-day operations.

Cawsom ddiwrnod hyfryd yn archwilio'r byd morol yma yn yr oriel. Gan ddechrau gyda phaentiad Craig Wood, Carmarthen - Leeds Return, roedd teuluoedd wedi dysgu am fywydau 'Cape Horners' Abertawe a'r cofroddion a gasglwyd ganddynt ar eu teithiau. Yna gwnaethom greu ein cofroddion ein hunain allan o boteli adferedig a phren sgrap. Cadwch lygad am ragor o weithdai a digwyddiadau i deuluoedd yr haf hwn!
Mae tîm Dysgu'r Glynn Vivian yn gweithio'n galed i wneud eu gweithdai mor gynaliadwy â phosib drwy ailddefnyddio deunyddiau sy'n isgynnyrch gweithrediadau o ddydd i ddydd yr oriel.

Since last year’s exhibition Ncheta (20.10.23-21.01.24) by art collective ‘Aurora Trinity’, we have been asking members of the public to collaborate on a large-scale woven rug as part of their visit to the gallery. Piece-by-piece, day-by-day, month-by-month scraps of leftover fabric were wound together by many hands until gradually the whole was complete. The rug was hand-finished by Joan and Shakeel from our ‘Threads: Community Textile Project’. A big thankyou to them both and to everyone who left their mark on the project.⁠
If you are interested in getting involved in Threads we are at the beginning of an exciting new project supported by the Arts Council of Wales Create grant.⁠
⁠
O ddechrau'r arddangosfa Ncheta (20.10.23-21.01.24) gan y gydweithfa gelf ‘Aurora Trinity’, rydym wedi bod yn gofyn i aelodau'r cyhoedd gydweithio ar rỳg weëdig fawr fel rhan o'u hymweliad â'r oriel. Cafodd ddarnau o ffabrig dros ben eu hymnyddu ynghyd, darn wrth ddarn, o ddydd i ddydd, o fis i fis gan lawer o ddwylo nes bod y darn cyfan wedi'i orffen. Gorffennwyd y rỳg â llaw gan Joan and Shakeel o'n Prosiect Tecstilau Cymunedol - Threads: Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r ddau ohonynt a phawb a adawodd eu marc ar y prosiect.⁠
Os oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn cymryd rhan yn Threads rydym ar ddechrau prosiect newydd cyffrous a gefnogir gan grant 'Creu' Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.⁠

📢 Exciting announcement! Heather Phillipson’s major new commission to open Summer 2024 in Swansea. 🪂🛰️🔊🤖🐦️

On 12 July, Glynn Vivian Art Gallery opens a major new exhibition, ‘Out of this World, by 2022 Turner Prize nominee, artist Heather Phillipson. This brand-new commission is part of the Imperial War Museums (IWM) 14-18 NOW Legacy Fund, a national partnership programme inspired by the heritage of conflict.

Heather Phillipson plots a sequence of sonic and atmospheric conditions that conjure airspace, aerospace and outer space! Glynn Vivian’s galleries will be filled with automated noises, ghostly communications and fragmented images that float and pulsate, creating what Phillipson calls, ‘a visual and acoustic fog’.

Alongside this new commission the artist has selected works from IWM collection, as well as works loaned from Cyfarthfa Castle Gallery and Museum and paintings from the Glynn Vivian collection.

Ochr yn ochr â'r comisiwn newydd hwn, mae gan yr artist weithiau a ddewiswyd o Gasgliad IWM, yn ogystal â gweithiau wedi'u benthyca o Oriel ac Amgueddfa Castell Cyfarthfa a phaentiadau o gasgliad parhaol Glynn Vivian.
