James Morris: A Landscape of Wales

About

Ffotogallery would like to invite you to our next exhibition A Landscape of Wales, by the award-winning Welsh artist James Morris. To kick off the new year, we will be presenting this major new exhibition across 2 venues; Futures Gallery at The Pierhead in Cardiff Bay and at Turner House in Penarth. Please join us to celebrate both openings on Wednesday 12th January 2011 - we will be providing a shuttle bus between the venues and there will be drinks available at both! The exhibition continues until Sat 26 Feb. A Landscape of Wales is a significant body of photographic work, which takes a broad look at the contemporary Welsh landscape. James Morris challenges tourist clichés by looking at the impact of human presence and the layers of history in the landscape. Wales is a land of beauty and of hardship where — in this post-industrial, post-rural economy — Tesco and tourism are now the major employers. Within this context, Morris reflects upon issues of identity, exploitation and regeneration. This partnership project is an Aberystwyth Arts Centre Touring Exhibition.
