TRACE : TRACES
An exhibition of work from the TRACE archive 2000-2006
Howard Gardens Gallery, Cardiff School of
Art & Design,
University of Wales Institute, Howard Gardens, Cardiff CF24 0SP
Preview 6 – 8 pm Friday 23rd
February 2007
Exhibition runs until 21st March 2007 as part of Cardiff Art In
Time
The exhibition brings together a selection of ‘traces’
from live work and installation at TRACE gallery Cardiff from Sept.
2000 - May 2006.
The exhibition consists of reconstituted elements from live performance
or action based processes - objects, detritus, manipulated materials,
documents, photographs, texts, drawings and sculptural or ersatz
ethnographic displays.
This seemingly left-over or discarded matter is offered up for contemplation
and reflection in relation to contemporary artists exploration and
research. In bringing together these discreet elements one becomes
aware of a certain unity of practice and an historical archive centred
on process, events and experiences.
This proposes a selection of ‘traces’ that embody a
fragile quality where the object itself is imbued with the performance
that created it.’
The exhibition represents the work of some of the worlds most distinguished
experimental artists. As such it is an overview that includes the
work of influential artists who came to prominence in the 1960’s
and who remain active today. This influence can be felt in the work
and subsequent documentation of subsequent practitioners represented
here and the emergence of a young generation of performance artists.
This selection from TRACE, is appropriately positioned within Cardiff
School of Art & Design, home to the SHIFTwork research group
and Cardiff Art In Time.
With this unique exhibition SHIFTwork & Cardiff Art In Time
aim to present research focused on the investigation and exploration
of documentation, archiving and it’s relationship to time
based arts practice, discourse and dissemination.
