bocs

Article in Golwg 11/12/08

Bedwyr Williams talking about his support for “bocs”…Also how the Welsh should buy contemporary art as the people of Scotland and Ireland, who are very proud of their young art scenes.

Bedwyr Williams, whose work includes stand-up comedy, sculpture, painting, poster-art and photography, has kindly agreed to open our exhibition “christmas bocs nadolig” on 5th December.

Diolch yn fawr Bedwyr!

… to the launch of bocs, and of course, for our Christmas bash/exhibition.

Feel free to print out one of these invites and bring them along to our private view. (Right-click the image and click “Save target as”.) Although you’d probably still get in even if you didn’t have one.
