'Gwaith' is a site-specific installation and performance made by a collective of Welsh based artists that reflects the activities cultivated by TRACE install-action in Cardiff.
The performance 'work' includes the constant process of accumulation and eradication of selected material through layering, erasure and 'scouring'. Through these processes the Trace Collective consider performance and it's materials as the physical manifestation of the post-colonial condition. Group activity during the National Eisteddfod 2008 takes the form of a series of performance interventions utilising a specially constructed 1:1 scaled replica of the 'domestic' TRACE artspace which is situated in an inhabited terrace house at 26 Moira Place, Adamsdown, Cardiff.
