Without Borders / Art & Mind Center, Nagoya

06 Apr 2023, Posted by kate_mercer in Community, Exhibitions, International, Out & About, Wales, Work in progress

Today’s post is dedicated to the next stop on Without Borders / Elysium & 1SSUE world tour!

Without Borders is a group project which saw 300+ artists from around the world collaborate in creating an international touring exhibition of works on paper. After each exhibition, the pages will be bound together to make a book and taken to another venue to be taken apart, displayed, and then reassembled before moving again to its next location. At the end of the tour, the artworks will permanently be bound together to create one unique artist book.

Moving from Art Spot Korin in Kyoto, the exhibition moved on to Art & Mind Centre in Nagoya, Japan. This leg of the exhibition took place 12/03 – 10/04/2022, during the early days of the unfolding war in Ukraine.

Curator Jonathan Powell writes:

“A big thank you to Izuru Mizutani – Director of the Art and Mind Center in Nagoya for hosting this ambitious exhibition. Also a big thank you to Masahiro Kawanaka & Art Spot Korin in Kyoto for hosting us previously.

Artist and project organiser Heather Parnell – ‘This exhibition and what it stands for has become more significant than ever. Freedom to connect and share with our neighbours, without restrictions and in peace, is fundamental to human flourishing’.

In response to the crisis unfolding in Ukraine, a special ‘Prayer for peace’ corner will be in place at the gallery. It is a place where artists express their intentions to pray for the safety of the Ukrainian
people.”

Mae post heddiw wedi’i neilltuo i’r arhosfan nesaf ar daith byd Without Borders / Elysium & 1SSUE!

Mae Without Borders yn brosiect grŵp a welodd dros 300 o artistiaid o bedwar ban byd yn cydweithio i greu arddangosfa deithiol ryngwladol o weithiau ar bapur. Ar ôl pob arddangosfa, bydd y tudalennau’n cael eu rhwymo at ei gilydd i wneud llyfr a’u cludo i leoliad arall i’w tynnu ar wahân, eu harddangos, ac yna eu hailosod cyn symud eto i’w lleoliad nesaf. Ar ddiwedd y daith, bydd y gweithiau celf yn cael eu rhwymo at ei gilydd yn barhaol i greu un llyfr artist unigryw.

Gan symud o Art Spot Korin yn Kyoto, symudodd yr arddangosfa ymlaen i Art & Mind Centre yn Nagoya, Japan. Cynhaliwyd y rhan hon o’r arddangosfa 12/03 – 10/04/2022, yn ystod dyddiau cynnar y rhyfel sy’n datblygu yn yr Wcrain.

Ysgrifenna’r curadur Jonathan Powell:

“Diolch yn fawr i Izuru Mizutani – Cyfarwyddwr y Ganolfan Celf a Meddwl yn Nagoya am cynnal yr arddangosfa uchelgeisiol hon. Diolch yn fawr hefyd i Masahiro Kawanaka & Art Spot Korin yn Kyoto am ein cynnal ni o’r blaen.

Artist a threfnydd y prosiect Heather Parnell – ‘Mae’r arddangosfa hon a’r hyn y mae’n ei gynrychioli wedi dod yn fwy arwyddocaol nag erioed. Mae rhyddid i gysylltu a rhannu gyda’n cymdogion, heb gyfyngiadau ac mewn heddwch, yn sylfaenol i ffyniant dynol’.

Mewn ymateb i’r argyfwng sy’n datblygu yn yr Wcrain, bydd cornel arbennig ‘Gweddi dros heddwch’ yn ei lle yn yr oriel. Mae’n fan lle mae artistiaid yn mynegi eu bwriad i weddïo am ddiogelwch yr Wcrain
bobl.”

About the project

Curated by Jonathan Powell, Elysium gallery Director and Heather Parnell, co-editor of 1SSUE artist books. The project salutes the diversity of creativity, showcasing the work of all participating artists democratically, in a format that is portable and accessible. The ‘Artists Book’ serves as the vessel and sets the parameters into the exploration of the notion of Borders.

The term Border describes literal or invisible lines: edges that separate and divide, that contain and limit. Without Borders is particularly evocative and redolent in these current times. Ever- quickening, reactive politics results in some borders hardening, whilst others dissolve. The divide between rich and poor appears to be widening. Physical, geographical, and social borders, together with the fragile, permeable border between life and death have also been highlighted by the recent pandemic.

Ynglŷn â’r prosiect

Curadwyd gan Jonathan Powell, Cyfarwyddwr Oriel Elysium a Heather Parnell, cyd-olygydd llyfrau artistiaid 1SSUE. Mae’r prosiect yn cyfarch amrywiaeth creadigrwydd, gan arddangos gwaith yr holl artistiaid sy’n cymryd rhan yn ddemocrataidd, mewn fformat sy’n gludadwy ac yn hygyrch. Mae’r ‘Artists Book’ yn gwasanaethu fel y llong ac yn gosod y paramedrau wrth archwilio syniad y Gororau.

Mae’r term Border yn disgrifio llinellau llythrennol neu anweledig: ymylon sy’n gwahanu ac yn rhannu, sy’n cynnwys ac yn cyfyngu. Mae Heb Ffiniau yn arbennig o atgofus ac yn llawen yn yr amseroedd presennol hyn. Mae gwleidyddiaeth ymatebol sy’n cyflymu byth yn arwain at galedu rhai ffiniau, tra bod eraill yn hydoddi. Mae’n ymddangos bod y rhaniad rhwng y cyfoethog a’r tlawd yn ehangu. Mae ffiniau corfforol, daearyddol a chymdeithasol, ynghyd â’r ffin fregus, athraidd rhwng bywyd a marwolaeth hefyd wedi cael eu hamlygu gan y pandemig diweddar.

Am《AMC》Art & Mind Center
