Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is delighted to present a new work by Jason&Becky – Eavesdropper.
Created in response to Heather Phillipson’s exhibition Out of this World, together with research into Margaret Watts Hughes’ 1887 invention the ‘Eidophone’ (a device created to visualise the human voice), Eavesdropper explores ideas of conflict and communication through interactivity, sound and visuals.
Heather Phillipson, Out of this World is an IWM 14-18 NOW Legacy Fund commission in partnership with Glynn Vivian Art Gallery.
Skin Phillips, 360°
Exhibition: Until Sunday 5 January 2025
This exciting exhibition showcases Phillips’ iconic photography from Swansea to Los Angeles, capturing some of the most defining moments in skateboarding history.
In addition to showcasing his early works, Phillips has been commissioned to create a new series of photographs capturing the contemporary Swansea skateboarding scene, which will be acquired for the Gallery’s permanent collection. This series will highlight the vibrancy and diversity of the local skateboarding community, reinforcing the cultural significance of skateboarding in Swansea.
Free drop in workshop: 5:30pm – 8:00pm
