For 2015, we have five new commissions from artists Michael Stumpf, Graham Dolphin, Emily Speed, Colin Priest and David Cushway, bringing you a range of projects from balloons, wild west monuments, Joe’s ice cream, land speed attempts and tap dancing boulders.

Eleven permanent commissions further support the programme including works by Jeremy Deller, DJ Roberts, Mark Folds, Pete Fowler, Bedwyr Williams, Sinta Tantra, Sean Puleston, Rik Bennett, Bermingham & Robinson and Niamh McCann.

Alongside the exhibition we have a diverse programme of events, outreach and education projects. Find out more at our new exhibition hub in Unit 11, Quadrant Shopping Centre or online. We hope you enjoy exploring Swansea and all it has to offer as you visit Art Across The City 2015.

Cushway’s prototype for a record-breaking vehicle, designed in collaboration with UWTSD’s Institute of Sustainable / Automotive Design Department is made from clay, possibly the material least designed for speed. However, clay spearheaded the industrial revolution and has been at the forefront of great technical advancements. Despite its slow nature, clay has been essential in our need for speed and human achievement. Based in our Information Hub in the Quadrant Shopping Centre, this prototype for speed is stopped in its tracks as it slowly crumbles away whilst on display.

Mae prototeip Cushway o gerbyd i dorri record cyflymder tir, a gynlluniwyd ar y cyd â Sefydliad Dylunio Cynaliadwy UWTSD, wedi ei wneud o glai, sef, o bosibl, y deunydd lleiaf addas ei gynllun ar gyfer cyflymder. Fodd bynnag, clai oedd prif ysgogydd y chwyldro diwydiannol ac mae wedi bod ar flaen y gad o ran datblygiadau technegol mawr. Er gwaethaf ei natur araf, bu clai yn rhan annatod o’n hymchwil am gyflymder a chyflawniad dynol. Wedi ei leoli yn ein Canolfan Wybodaeth yng Nghanolfan Siopa’r Quadrant, mae’r prototeip hwn, ac yntau ar drywydd cyflymder, wedi ei stopio’n stond, ac mae’n araf ddadfeilio tra caiff ei arddangos.

The ghost town of Swansea sits on the edge of Death Valley, California. Once a mining boomtown in the 1860’s, little of the town remains apart from a memorial. The connections with the city go beyond the place name, as it commemorates the hundreds of Welsh workers who made the trip to America and beyond to set up and run mines and foundries. Dolphin has recreated this memorial and placed it outside the Civic Centre, with ramshackle ‘Wild West’ signs made by local schools pointing to other Swansea namesakes across the world.

Tref anghyfannedd ar ymyl Death Valley, California yw Swansea. Roedd unwaith yn dref lofaol ffyniannus yn yr 1860au, bellach ychydig iawn o’r dref sydd ar ôl ar wahân i’r gofeb. Mae’r cysylltiadau â’r ddinas yn mynd y tu hwnt i enw’r lle, gan ei fod yn coffáu’r cannoedd o weithwyr o Gymru a deithiodd i America a thu hwnt i sefydlu a rhedeg pyllau glo a ffowndrïau. Mae Dolphin wedi ail-greu’r gofeb hon a’i lleoli y tu allan i’r Ganolfan Ddinesig, gydag arwyddion sigledig yn steil y ‘Gorllewin Gwyllt’ wedi eu gwneud gan ysgolion lleol yn pwyntio at lefydd eraill o’r enw Swansea ar draws y byd.

High up in the Civic Centre floats a huge cluster of helium filled balloons, each printed with a picture of the iconic building. As the temperature changes and passing visitors create shifts in the air, the balloons gently shimmer and dip around the atrium. Speed both celebrates and laments the passing of the building; Brutalist architecture; the loss of an equally loved and maligned building and what the future holds for the city. A limited amount of free balloons will be available from the Information Hub in the Quadrant Shopping Centre.

I fyny fry yn Atriwm y Ganolfan Ddinesig mae clwstwr enfawr o falwnau heliwm, pob un wedi’u hargraffu â darlun o’r adeilad eiconig. Wrth i’r tymheredd amrywio ac wrth i ymwelwyr basio ac achosi i’r awyr symud, mae’r balwnau’n pelydru ac yn araf symud o amgylch yr atriwm. Mae Speed yn dathlu ac yn gresynu colli hen bensaernïaeth lem yr adeilad; colli adeilad a oedd yr un mor annwyl ac atgas gan bobl, ac yn pendroni beth a ddaw o’r ddinas. Bydd nifer gyfyngedig o falwnau i’w cael am ddim o’r Ganolfan Wybodaeth yng Nghanolfan Siopa’r Quadrant.

Baywatch celebrates the vast sky and heritage along Swansea Bay. Coinciding with the centenary of The Slip Bridge, Priest has collated documents from the West Glamorgan Archive, made a silent documentary and will talk at the library to discuss this enduring local landmark. Working with Joe’s Ice Cream, Priest has commissioned a limited edition Swansea Bay Sundae, on sale in their Mumbles and Swansea parlours. (See Get involved p11)

Mae Baywatch yn dathlu’r awyr a’r dreftadaeth helaeth a geir ar hyd Bae Abertawe. Gan gyd-daro â chanmlwyddiant Pont y Slip, mae Priest wedi casglu dogfennau o Archifdy Gorllewin Morgannwg, gwneud rhaglen ddogfen dawel a bydd yn siarad yn y llyfrgell i drafod y tirnod lleol hirymarhous hwn. Gan weithio gyda chwmni hufen iâ Joe’s, mae Priest wedi comisiynu hufen iâ arbennig dros dro o’r enw Hufen Iâ Bae Abertawe, sydd ar werth ym mharlyrau hufen iâ’r Mwmbwls ac Abertawe. (Gweler Cymerwch Ran ar dudalen 12)

Michael Stumpf brings an almost absurdist, punk rock approach to public art. Using the Amphitheatre as a setting, his three large sculptures references monolithic public art, industry and music. A tap-dancing boulder, One of Us, a coffeemaker, Stovetop, and a meteorite-like object, Pink Moon, temporarily occupy the Amphitheatre’s stage and seating, inviting you to take a seat or stand to join them in a debate about the nature of their ‘thing-ness’.

Daw Michael Stumpf a dull gweithredu sydd bron yn absẃrd, ac agwedd pync roc i fyd celfyddyd gyhoeddus. Gan ddefnyddio’r Amffitheatr fel lleoliad, mae ei dri cherflun mawr yn cyfeirio at gelfyddyd gyhoeddus, diwydiant a cherddoriaeth fonolithig. Dros dro, mae clogfaen sy’n dawnsio tap, One of Us, peiriant coffi, Stovetop, a gwrthrych tebyg i awyrfaen, Pink Moon, yn meddiannu llwyfan a seddau’r Amffitheatr, gan eich gwahodd i eistedd neu sefyll i ymuno â hwy mewn dadl ynghylch natur ‘petheu-dra’.

DJ Roberts’ neon artwork uses a line from a Dylan Thomas radio broadcast, Return Journey to Swansea. In the broadcast, Thomas tells of his return to Swansea in search of his former self, growing up in the town. We find him at one stage in the Kardomah Café with his friends, putting the world to rights. They talk about ‘music and poetry and painting and politics‘. They talk about ‘communism, symbolism, Bradman and Braque‘. They talk about “Michelangelo, ping-pong, ambition, Sibelius, and girls…”

Mae gwaith celf neon DJ Roberts yn defnyddio llinell o ddarllediad radio gan Dylan Thomas, Return Journey to Swansea. Yn y darllediad, mae Dylan Thomas yn sôn amdano’n dychwelyd i Abertawe ar drywydd ei fywyd ei hun yn cael ei fagu yn y dref. Fe’i gwelwn ar un pwynt yng nghaffi Karomah gyda’i ffrindiau, yn rhoi’r byd yn ei le. Maen nhw’n siarad am ‘gerddoriaeth a barddoniaeth ac arlunio a gwleidyddiaeth’. Maen nhw’n siarad am ‘gomiwnyddiaeth, symboliaeth, Bradman a Braque’. Maen nhw’n siarad am “Michelangelo, tenis bwrdd, uchelgais, Sibeliws, a merched…”


Michelangelo, Ping-Pong, Ambition, Sibelius, and Girls…

Pete Fowler’s largest piece of work to date celebrates Swansea’s most famous son, Dylan Thomas. The mural makes poetic and quirky reference to his writing with affectionate nods to Swansea. Fowler’s artwork is part of Art Across The High Street, a partnership project to improve the appearance of Swansea city centre funded by the Welsh Government, City & County of Swansea and Swansea BID.

Mae gwaith mwyaf Pete Fowler hyd yn hyn yn dathlu mab enwocaf Abertawe, Dylan Thomas. Mae’r murlun hwn yn cyfeirio, mewn modd barddonol ac anarferol at waith y llenor, gyda chyfeiriadau annwyl at Abertawe. Mae gwaith celf Fowler yn rhan o’r cynllun Celf ar Draws y Stryd Fawr, prosiect partneriaeth i wella golwg canol dinas Abertawe a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, Dinas a Sir Abertawe a BID Abertawe.

A simple statement in black and white, More Poetry Is Needed sits on a large wall to the rear of the Quadrant Shopping Centre. Greeting visitors to the city centre, Deller’s plaintive request gets straight to the point. Everybody and everywhere could do with more poetry. Writer Rachel Trezise has responded by writing 6 micro-fictions to be distributed across bars and cafes in Swansea.

Datganiad syml mewn du a gwyn yw More Poetry Is Needed sydd wedi ei leoli ar wal fawr yng nghefn Canolfan Siopa’r Quadrant. Gan gyfarch ymwelwyr i ganol y ddinas, mae cais cwynfanus Deller yn hollol uniongyrchol. Gallai pawb a phob man wneud â chael rhagor o farddoniaeth. Mae’r awdures Rachel Trezise wedi ymateb drwy ysgrifennu 6 darn o lên-micro ffuglennol i’w dosbarthu ym mariau a chaffis Abertawe.

Sinta Tantra’s artwork layers abstract spreads of geometric colour with two giant golden palm trees, creating an ambiguous imagery that reflects her Balinese origin and Western upbringing. Tantra’s artwork is part of Art Across The High Street, a partnership project to improve the appearance of Swansea city centre funded by the Welsh Government, City & County of Swansea and Swansea BID.

Mae gwaith celf Sinta Tantra yn haenu ehangder haniaethol o liw geometrig gyda dwy balmwydden aur enfawr, gan greu delweddu amwys sy’n adlewyrchu ei gwreiddiau Balïaidd a’i magwraeth orllewinol. Mae gwaith celf Tantra yn rhan o’r cynllun Celf ar Draws y Stryd Fawr, prosiect partneriaeth i wella golwg canol dinas Abertawe a ariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru, Dinas a Sir Abertawe a BID Abertawe.

Sean Puleston reconnects the High Street with the heart of Swansea, being inspired by the city’s dynamic skyline as well as its worldwide reputation for excellence in stained glass. Puleston recognises that there is much to celebrate about Swansea’s future prospects, which he empathises with through the inclusive statement “We Are Here”, reaffirming our shared local and global significance.

Mae Sean Puleston yn ailgysylltu’r Stryd Fawr gyda chalon Abertawe, wedi’i ysbrydoli gan nenlinell ddynamig y ddinas yn ogystal â’r enw da byd eang am ragoriaeth gwydr lliw. Mae Puleston yn cydnabod bod llawer i’w ddathlu am ragolygon Abertawe yn y dyfodol, ac mae’n pwysleisio hynny gyda’r datganiad cynhwysfawr, “We are Here”, sy’n ail-gadarnhau ein harwyddocâd lleol a byd-eang.

Bedwyr Williams commemorates the cage-fighters dressed in drag for a night out, who stood their ground in the face of adversity and abuse. Captured on CCTV, the duo’s actions became an Internet hit. Williams pays tribute by casting the duos’ high heel footprints into brass and setting them into the pavement where the incident occurred, creating a lasting symbol against harassment and persecution.

Mae Bedwyr Williams yn coffáu’r ymladdwyr cawell wedi’u gwisgo fel menywod am noson allan a oedd wedi sefyll eu tir yn wyneb gelyniaeth a sarhad. Wedi’i ffilmio ar deledu cylch cyfyng, daeth gweithrediadau’r pâr yn enwog dros y rhyngrwyd. Mae Williams yn talu teyrnged drwy osod ôl-traed sodlau uchel y pâr mewn efydd a’u rhoi yn y palmant lle bu’r digwyddiad, gan greu symbol parhaus yn erbyn aflonyddu ac erledigaeth.

Rik Bennett’s mural on the High Street captures the essence of what the street once was, referencing the many dance halls, pubs and clubs that once thrived here. By doing so, Bennett is adding to the current reawakening that is taking place on this street, creating a new vibrancy and contributing positively to its regeneration and potential future.

Mae murlun Rik Bennett ar y Stryd Fawr yn dal hanfod yr hyn yr oedd y stryd yn arfer bod, gan gyfeirio at y neuaddau dawns, y tafarnau a’r clybiau niferus a oedd unwaith yn ffynnu yma. Wrth wneud hyn, mae Bennett yn ychwanegu at ailddeffro’r stryd sy’n digwydd ar hyn o bryd, gan greu bywiogrwydd newydd sy’n cyfrannu’n gadarnhaol at ei adfywiad a’i ddyfodol posibl.

Bermingham and Robinson have transformed the entrance windows into a giant kaleidoscope of light and colour, visible both inside and out, day and night, which is inspired by the panels held within. By sharing and working with Brangwyn’s ideals, Bermingham and Robinson have created a contemporary artwork using the very same strength of creative independence and determined artistic vision.

Mae Bermingham a Robinson wedi trawsnewid ffenestri’r mynedfeydd yn galeidosgop anferth o olau a lliw, sy’n weladwy o’r tu mewn a’r tu allan, yn ystod y dydd a’r nos, a ysbrydolwyd gan y paneli tu fewn. Drwy rannu a gweithio gyda delfrydau Brangwyn, mae Bermingham a Robinson wedi creu gwaith celf cyfoes gan ddefnyddio’r un annibyniaeth greadigol gref a’r weledigaeth gelfydd benderfynol.

During Mark Folds’ research visit to Cwmdonkin Park, he was inspired by the presence of a large tree stump standing at over 30 foot high, as well as the long association the park has with the poet Dylan Thomas. Dylan’s Pencil aims to engage people in thinking that something amazing, such as Dylan Thomas’ poetry, emerged from something so basic in this place.

Yn ystod ymweliad ymchwil Mark Folds â Pharc Cwmdoncyn, cafodd ei ysbrydoli gan bresenoldeb bonyn coeden mawr dros 30 troedfedd, yn ogystal â chysylltiad hir y parc â Dylan Thomas, y bardd. Nod Pensil Dylan yw ennyn pobl i feddwl bod rhywbeth anhygoel, megis barddoniaeth Dylan Thomas, wedi deillio o rywbeth mor sylfaenol yn y lleoliad hwn.

Niamh McCann’s mural, Flock Of Ospreys Looking For The Old Blind Sea Captain Who Dreams Of His Deceased Sea Fellows Under A Visiting African Sun, is a graphic representation of the James Harris Snr painting Swansea Bay in Stormy Weather. An African cigarette logo provides the red sun; the over looking ospreys are a Swansea logo and the title, combines all these and intimates the presence of a character from Dylan Thomas’s Under Milkwood. All these elements come together to create a landscape, which is both local and disparate.

Mae murlun Niamh McCann yn gynrychiolaeth graffig o baentiad James Harris yr hynaf, sef Swansea Bay in Stormy Weather. Arwyddlun cwmni sigarennau Affricanaidd sy’n rhoi’r haul coch; mae’r gweilch uwchben yn arwyddlun ac yn gyfeiriad at Abertawe, ac yn olaf, mae’r teitl yn cyfuno’r rhain i gyd ac yn mynegi presenoldeb cymeriad o Under Milkwood gan Dylan Thomas. Mae’r holl elfennau hyn yn dod ynghyd i greu tirlun sy’n lleol ac yn wahanol.
