Sean Edwards: Maelfa, 2010

About

The Maelfa Shopping Centre, Llanedyern, is the focus of Sean Edwards? portrait of a near derelict space. Built around a block of high-rise flats in a council estate in the mid 1970?s. Expanding the artist?s interventions into everyday systems that concentrate on the detritus of daily life and the inevitable failure of human aspirations for greatness, slow paced and silent the film touches upon a sense of poignancy associated with disappearing communities and failed utopian aspirations.

The film will be accompanied by an installation of photographs, prints, models and other ephemera relating to the project. The exhibition is accompanied with an artist?s book no dust adheres, published by The Bedford Press, London and Safle, Cardiff.
