SUMMARY:Exhibition: Anthony Shapland - MURMUR
DESCRIPTION:A new solo show by Cardiff based artist and writer Anthony Shapland\, guest-curated by Marie-Anne McQuay. The exhibition includes a new film and will be accompanied by an integrated reading space and events programme reflecting Shapland’s interest in the intersection between art and writing. \nTŷ Pawb is delighted to announce a large-scale solo exhibition by Cardiff based artist and writer Anthony Shapland\, opening Summer 2026. Anthony Shapland is a Welsh artist\, founder of artist-led space g39 and novelist. Within his writing and artistic practice\, he blends documentary and fiction\, drawing on his lived experience of rural queerness and growing up performing straight. \nExhibition runs: 11 July – 31 October 2026\nPreview and Press View: 10 July 2026 \nShapland was recently selected as one of The Observer’s 10 best new novelists 2025 and Waterstone’s Welsh book of the year for his debut novel A Room Above a Shop (Granta)\, which tells the story of hidden intimacy between two men living in a South Wales valley in the late 1980s\, during the time of Section 28. Continuing to work between the gallery and the printed page\, whether in image\, text or film\, Shapland constructs intimate portraits of lives lived at the edges of rural landscapes\, often filmed on location around Bargoed\, the town in the Rhymney Valley where he grew up. His ongoing fascination with illusion and mimicry\, reflecting the ways in which his protagonists seek to blend in with their surroundings\, manifests in his use of the hidden techniques of traditional filmmaking\, including props\, backdrops\, filters\, artificial light and Foley sound effects. These cinematic devices in turn set up and then unpack coded narratives. Speaking also to other concealed lives\, the artist asks\, “What happens when you stay?” \nShapland’s exhibition at Tŷ Pawb will include a new film and builds on recent moving image work\, including Starling Seven (2025)\, in which a montage of starlings copy and repeat man-made noises\, and Between the Dog and the Wolf (2019) which encapsulates the artist’s interest in the cinematic illusion of shooting day for night. The exhibition will be accompanied by an integrated reading space and a dynamic public programme. \nShapland’s solo show will be guest-curated by long time peer and associate Marie-Anne McQuay\, previously curator of Liverpool Biennial 2025\, with Tŷ Pawb Creative Director Jo Marsh. \nAnthony Shapland said: “I’m excited to be working at Tŷ Pawb – exploring the space between exhibition and publication\, image and word and referring to a life lived in two parts\, performed – never what it seemed on the surface. Nothing is what it appears to be\, and an early desire to not stand-out\, even after coming-out\, has had a lasting impact on all of my work – filled with references to stage and backstage\, to a performance of life. At Tŷ Pawb I’m keen to blur the line between inside and outside the gallery. “ \nCreative Director Tŷ Pawb Jo Marsh said: “We are absolutely delighted to be presenting this exciting new body of work by Anthony Shapland here at Tŷ Pawb next year. Anthony is a truly cherished Welsh artist\, at a significant moment in his career. This solo exhibition offers us a fantastic opportunity to engage with Anthony’s beautiful\, poetic and unique vision and celebrate his significant contribution to contemporary art in Wales. We can’t wait to share it with our visitors. Building on our initial partnership as part of the Venice Biennale 2019\, working with independent curator Marie-Anne McQuay on this project\, fresh from her role as curator of Liverpool Biennial 2025\, is a dream.” \nGuest Curator\, Marie-Anne McQuay said: “I’ve followed Anthony Shapland’s practice for nearly 20 years and am so delighted to finally work with him on a solo show for Tŷ Pawb\, Wrexham. I’m looking forward to sharing his incredible sensibility for observation and detail\, which manifests both in his filmmaking and writing\, with audiences next year” \nJoin the Tŷ Pawb mailing list to get regular updates straight to your inbox

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Freely Chosen - Recent moments captured by Wrexham Playworkers
DESCRIPTION:For Ffoto Cymru 2026 with the theme of There’s More To Life\, an exhibition in Wrexham could only centre around one thing – playwork and adventure playgrounds. \nWales was the first country in the world to legislate in support of children’s right to play –through Play Sufficiency Duty. This means that play is already special in Wales\, and in this specialness is amplified in Wrexham\, which is home to the only three adventure playgrounds in Wales: The Venture\, Gwenfro Valley and the Land. \nThese playgrounds work in dialogue with one another\, and with the local play and youth support team\, to provide life changing opportunities for children to be themselves through play\, free from the constraints that govern most situations and settings in their daily lives. \nThe people perhaps best placed in the world to capture moments of children’s play through photography\, are playworkers themselves. They are immersed in the moment with the children; they are attuned to the rhythms of play as it ebbs and flows; they have longstanding relationships with the children and have earned their trust. For this reason\, all the images in this exhibition have been captured by Wrexham playworkers\, rather than by a visiting artist or photographer.
