Cosmic housekeeper: sweeping the yard.

art @ rhosygilwen









one square yard is swept.

what is the geometry of this? what is the space time dimension? which space am I sweeping? my headspace?

Somehow on the steps I felt more like I was shifting space, cleaning something in a parallel universe/somewhere else in the cosmos

Holy Hiatus

This ongoing collaboration between Maura Hazelden & Lou Laurens explores the relationship between the material and the immaterial through image, voice and movement. Can the physical change consciousness, create sacred space, evoke the “holy”?

Mae’r cydweithrediad parhaus hwn rhwng Maura Hazelden & Lou Laurens yn archwilio y berthynas rhwng y materol a’r anfaterol, drwy ddelwedd, llais a symudiad. A all y corfforol newi ymwybyddiaeth, creu gofod cysegredig, galw ar y ‘sanctaidd’?

Cynulleidfa gyfyng ar unrhyw un adeg, lluniaeth ar gael.

The event builds on work commissioned for Holy Hiatus: Ritual & Community in Public Art (2008), an exhibition/symposium curated by Ruth Jones, and is showing a year to the day in the same space.

Maura & Lou will be working between 4.00 & 10.00 pm. They will interact with footage and recordings from last year’s performance, creating a multi-layered exploration with the potential to develop year on year. No booking necessary but at any one time there will be a limited audience; refreshments will be available for those waiting.

Some reactions to last year’s performance:

“A very beautiful feeling and mood evoked in the space”

“opening to quietness… very moving”

“It was quite amazing…There was a lot of thinking to be done after it”

“It was a very spiritual, prayerful experience”

As part of the event there will be a meditation/prayer space in the dance studio. It is an open invitation to explore meditation and prayer in silence or through movement.

Peter Bodenham curated the exhibition and I was asked to show Reconcile I & II. So how to re-present a two performances, one over an hour long, very site specific, with the viewing restricted by the space? One very intimate....

I was given a very good documentary video by Heike Roms, that clearly showed the context and the audience; this was shown on a very small dvd player. I also took photographic images from the dvd of pertinent moments/movements. There were framed pieces of work containing nails hair feathers roses and photographs.

see here for Reconcile I & II on this blog.
