Curating the latest in Welsh creative talent.
Open Thurs-Sat 10-6 & Sun 11-4.
This exhibition opening in September is the first major presentation of work by Delphi Campbell, a young artist, and winner of the 2023 MADE Summer Art Prize.
With funding from the Arts Council of Wales, Delphi has spent the last 6 months in a studio in Roath, Cardiff, creating the differing elements that will form a gallery takeover formed of individually crafted elements into a giant tactile nest, a fleshy, pink iteration which forms more than the sum of their parts.
Yr arddangosfa hon, sy’n agor ym mis Medi yw cyflwyniad sylweddol cyntaf o waith Delphi Campbell, artist ifanc, ac enillydd Gwobr Gelf Haf MADE 2023.
Gyda nawdd gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, mae Delphi wedi treulio’r 6 mis diwethaf mewn stiwdio yn y Rhath, Caerdydd yn creu’r amryw elfennau fydd yn cymryd drosodd yr oriel. Bydd y greadigaeth wedi ffurfio o elfennau unigol wedi eu crefftio mewn i un nyth enfawr, cnawdlyd a phinc, sy’n ffurfio mwy na swm eu rhannau.
"…Each ounce is imbued with a radical love for bodies. The acceptance of your body into such a space is a liberation. The body of work stems from Delphi’s physical experience of being a queer, disabled woman within a wider system which actively works to repress, silence and exploit. Pain reverberates at both a bodily and societal level, and we recognise its familiar thumping and pounding. This is not about ‘making invisible pain visible’ as such pain is never invisible, not if you have an ounce of compassion, not if you are willing to listen a little bit closer…”

"...pob owns a chariad radical am gyrff wedi ei dreiddio ynddo. Rhyddhad yw dy gorff yn cael ei dderbyn mewn i’r fath ofod. Mae’r corff o waith yn deillio o brofiadau corfforol Delphi o fod yn ddynes cwiar, anabl, o fewn system ehangach sy’n gweithio i ormesu, ecsploetiaeth a distawu. Mae poen yn atseinio ar lefel gorfforol a chymdeithasol, ac rydym yn adnabod ei drawiad a phwniad cyfarwydd. Nid yw hwn amdan ‘gwneud poen anweledig yn weledol’, i raddau dydy poen byth yn anweledig, nid os oes gennych owns o dosturi, nid os ydych yn barod i wrando ychydig yn agosach…"

This exhibition is the first major presentation of work by Delphi Campbell, winner of the 2023 MADE Summer Art Prize.
Delphi’s relationship with chronic illness is at the core of her work. Sickness and queerness align, allowing her to embrace multiple illnesses in art which superficially appears as fun and frivolous, but is a confrontation of the narrative of living in an othered body.

Join 2023’s M.A.D.E. Solo Art Prize Winner Delphi Campbell, writer Poppy Jones Little and curator Zoë Gingell for an evening discussing Delphi’s first major presentation of work ‘Unwanted Flesh’.
The three will explore the ‘othered’ body and the unique perspective which it brings to the work exhibited, as well as the ethical and radical core at the heart of Delphi’s art practice.
Join us for a night of performance from artist Lauren Heckler who will be responding to Delphi Campbell's work.
"I admire Delphi’s work for its honest illustration of a complicated self-hood. For its expression of self-love in the name of empathy... In the soft bodily cave of ‘Unwanted Flesh’, my performance will encounter these states by weaving together spoken word and moving image."
