BigLittleCity – Cardiff

This coming Thursday marks the opening of the first BigLittleCity exhibition on the first floor of The Cardiff Story, The Old Library Building, the Hayes, Cardiff.

What is BigLittleCity? Basically it was a concept founded by Dan Green as a celebration of Cardiff and Cardiff’s creative talent for photography, art, film, writing, music and performance, animation, illustration, painting and graffiti. BigLittleCity is about the city and the experience of its residents and as such we are extremely focused on collaboration.

BigLittleCity is staging a rolling four-month exhibition to help launch Cardiff’s prestigious new people’s museum The Cardiff Story at the Old Library building, The Hayes, in the heart of our city. By rolling it means that every few weeks the work is changing to accomodate for a bigger load of works, which makes this exhibition really interesting and never boring!

I was invited to be part of this project by Dan to develop artwork that celebrated in any possible way Cardiff. After struggling to settle in an idea I just threw everything I had thought for it and decided to wing it, looked around my neighbourhood, set my mind to it and there it was, the inspiration for the piece I will be showing until the 15th of May. I am very proud to be part of it and exhibiting there.

The doors open at 5pm and close at 10pm – admission is free. There will be a glass of wine going (while they last!) and many of the artists who have contributed to the exhibition will be present, I will be there. It would be great if you could come along and have a look, its a wonderful exhibition with many fantastic artists.

Don’t forget to follow the whole experience on their facebook page and on twitter.
