One Human Seven Hurdles. Collaboration with Jelili Atiku

On the 12th August, 2012, the fantastic Jelili Atiku came to visit TOGYG, the artist group run by Bangor Greadigol, based at The Old Goodsyard, Treborth.  Jelili inspired us all with his enthusiasm and pulled performance pieces from even the most reticent of us. A true collaboration, where each artist expressed their individuality while still remaining but one part of a group.

Things Fall Down

Things Fall Down, Andrew Agace and friends.  Feb '09

Artist Andrew Agace occupied the Dr China shop in the Deiniol Centre for 3 weeks for his project "Things Fall Down"  On the first day, Andrew received delivery of many random suitcases containing miscellaneous objects.  For the following weeks, helped by friends, these objects became constantly evolving artworks.  As things fall down, new things are born from the chaos.
