We're delighted to be presenting an evening of conversation, story reading, and film screenings to mark the book Launch of Cardiff based writer Sian Hughes's first published collection of Short stories.
"Combining pitch-perfect, darkly comic observations with tender touches of humanity, Pain Sluts chronicles the flaws, frailties, and enduring spirit of an eclectic cast of curious characters as they navigate threats to their identity and humanity"
The launch will feature an introduction from publishers Storgy books, readings of Hughes' short stories and a conversation between the author and Sarah Morgan Jones, literary editor of Nation magazine.
This event will also feature the Welsh premiere of the short film 'Consumed' by Penny Davies, based on one of Hughes' short stories.
Ellie Young’s work combines humour, the absurd and popular culture to delve into deeper human experience through exposure of the mechanics of manipulation via media, Tv and fictional versions of ‘The Truth’.
In 2021, Ellie Young was the joint winner of the 2021 Solo Art Prize, a biennial award designed to boost the careers and visibility of talented artists based in South Wales, with a jury of curators and artists deciding the recipient. Please join us for her first solo exhibition 'I want to believe'.
Our annual residency programme for recent Arts graduates 'Hot House' begins again this August. With artists selected from degree courses across South Wales, this month of curatorial support and funded practice provides graduates with a bridge into professional practice. Hot House consists of weekly mentoring sessions throughout August within an open studio in Cardiff whilst the gallery is closed to the public, from the Curatorial Team at MADE, and an external professional artist visits, including full access to the studio space plus a bursary of £500 as an artist fee. The residency ends with a group exhibition at MADE.
"You can’t rush printing. Every step takes time, especially if you’re using more than one colour, like in the prints for this collection. The flecks and imperfections from the lino appear on the paper as you add more colours. These marks show my hand’s involvement in the process, which is important to me." - Simon Marks, 2022
