Swansea Creative Hub are delighted to announce that the new venture from the artist collective known as Framework is alive and well and housed in a previously empty office space on Orchard Street.
Supersaurus will be making their presence felt in and around the main Hub site on High Street so keep your eyes peeled!
Framework is a group of six artists working in Swansea. Their individual practices have a multidisciplinary approach ranging from live work, participatory work, video and installation, but what is key to their shared practice is the need for community and interaction.
The groups launch event in February 2007 Bring Music Bake Bread in Mission Gallery, Swansea invited people to bake bread together in the gallery space whilst listening to favourite pieces of music and resulted in over one hundred people baking bread together over the course of the evening.
The group started by meeting regularly in order to discuss each other’s work and ideas and to support each other in the transition from degree to practising artist. With the belief that there was a lack of a sense of community for artists in the area, and that this was a major factor in people leaving the city after graduation, they decided to extend the support they had created for each other by creating a space for artists to meet and socialise and to show work in a supportive environment.
Framework are Owen Griffiths, Dan McCabe, Tom O’Sullivan, Fern Thomas, Adele Vye and Paul Woodland. If you would like to contact them, email frameworkcontact@yahoo.co.uk.
