Deialog a chydweithrediad hir-dymor gydag artistiaid, mudiadau a chyhoeddiadau sy’n llywio fy ngwaith. Caiff ei arwain gan brosesau chwareus, ymchwiliol, amlieithog a rhyngddisgyblaethol, sy’n troi mewn i brosiectau curadurol, testunau beirniadol, ysgrifau, cyfieithiadau, ffuglenau a chynulliadau, sydd weithiau’n cael eu cyflwyno ar ffurfiau byw neu glyweledol. Mae wedi’i angori yn fy nghyd-destun daearyddol a ieithyddol, ac mae diddordebau mewn ymchwil gasglebol, ffurfiau dogfen, safle-benodolrwydd a hanesion o ddiwylliant weledol hoyw/cwiar yn ffigyru’n gryf.
Rhwng 2021-4, trefnais i Pegwn: rhaglen esblygol gyda Peak Cymru i gynhyrchu gofodau arbrofol i artistiaid ymgasglu o gwmpas cwestiynau ynghylch amlieithrwydd, cyfieithu a chreu geirfaoedd. Trwy 2025, dwi wedi bod yn adeiladu prosiect curadurol newydd, Testun testun, i arbrofi gyda mathau newydd o safleoedd ar gyfer sgwennu a disgwrs celf gyfoes yng Nghymru. Bydd ei ddwy raglen gyntaf yn dod allan yn yr hydref. Mae prosiectau curadurol eraill yn cynnwys y raglen ymchwil gasglebol TROI, TROSI, preswylfa gwreiddioli (gyda Theatr Cymru) a’r casgleb sgwennu/celf mwnwgl.
Dwi wedi bod yn Gymrawd Cymru’r Dyfodol, yn olygydd gyda Artes Mundi, yn gymrawd gyda Visual AIDS a’r Flaherty Seminar, ac wedi cyrraedd rhestr fer yr International Award for Art Criticism ddwywaith. Yn ddiweddar, cyflwynais waith newydd ar ffurf arddangosfa yn Mostyn gyda Owain Train McGilvary, mewn perfformiad aml-gyfrwng yn Green Man gyda Angela Davies, mewn darlleniadau gyda Gwyl y Gelli a Creiriau, a darnau i e-flux, the Public Review, Frieze, Documentary, O’r Pedwar Gwynt ac Art Monthly.
Ar hyn o bryd, dwi’n gweithio gyda Manon Awst ar y prosiect bydd yn cynrychioli Cymru yn y Venice Biennale yn 2026, ac ar lyfr ffeithiol-greadigol gyda Cyhoeddiadau’r Stamp, am gyfeillgarwch a beirniadaeth gelfyddydol a “siâp y presennol.” Dwi ddim yn chwilio am brosiectau na chomisiynau newydd ar hyn o bryd, ond dwi’n awyddus i gynnal mwy o weithdai a chyflwyniadau am fy ngwaith; croeso i chi gysylltu os oes diddordeb.
My work takes shape across various contexts, guided by long-term collaborations and an interdisciplinary ethos. It spans curatorial and publishing projects, art criticism, essays, translations, and fictions, which sometimes take live, audiovisual, or installational forms. Some critical-methodological interests which underpin much of this work include the experimental use of documentary material, the reanimation of historical visual cultures of gay/queer sociality, and the centring of minor/itised languages in a time of majoritarian rot. I’m currently working as co-lead artist with Manon Awst on the project representing Wales at the 61st Venice Biennale, and with Cyhoeddiadau’r Stamp on a book of non-fiction about friendship, criticism, and the shape of the present.
Fel gwacter (2024), an essay film I made with Owain Train McGilvary, was co-commissioned by LUX and presented as an exhibition at Mostyn, through which we also created the zine holescapes / twlldirweddau (2025). From 2021-4, I organised Pegwn, an iterative programme with Peak Cymru producing experimental spaces for artists to gather around questions of multilingualism, translation, and language-making. Other curatorial projects include the collective research programme TROI, TROSI, the residency gwreiddioli (with Theatr Cymru), art/writing collective mwnwgl, and the journal for Artes Mundi 10. I’m a former Future Wales Fellow, Jerwood Writer in Residence, Visual AIDS Research Fellow, and Flaherty Curatorial Fellow, and have an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Goldsmiths, University of London.
In 2024, I was a runner-up for the 10th International Award for Art Criticism (IAAC10), having been previously shortlisted in 2022. My critical writing has recently been published with e-flux, Frieze, Documentary, The Public Review, O’r Pedwar Gwynt, Burlington Contemporary, and Art Monthly. Throughout 2025, I’ve been initiating a curatorial project testing new, artist-centred sites for art/writing and critical vocabulary-building in Wales, to be called Testun testun. Its two inaugural programmes will become public in the autumn.
I’m not actively seeking new projects or writing commissions, but get in touch if you’re interested in having me do workshops, talks, or sharings of past work.
