Welcome
We’ve a packed month for June, with several festivals in store to kick-start the summer. From the 3—22 June, Chapter will act as lead venue for the inaugural International Performance Festival Cardiff (p1213), which welcomes performers and artists from Rio de Janeiro to Melbourne to our cooler climes. There’ll be opportunity to watch as well as participate in performances during the three-week festival. If this gives you a taste for performance, pioneering performance artist Mike Pearson (p14) will be leading workshops drawing on his experience as a key figure on Cardiff’s renowned performance scene of the 1970s. Over in our cinema, we continue with our Story of Children and Film season (p26-27) with some gems that tell universal stories from a child’s perspective. Throughout June and July we’ll also be playing host to the UK Green Film Festival (p30-31) with a selection of features that touch upon the burning issues of today. Of course, none of this would be possible without our fantastic audience and the wonderful volunteers who help us deliver such a diverse programme. Colin, one of our ushers, is here to tell us a little of what he enjoys most here at Chapter.

Colin James Volunteer Usher I’ve been volunteering at Chapter since June 2012 and I’ve just ushered my 200th film! I used to be a Front of House Commissioner in the 1960s at the Capitol Cinema and I met all the stars then. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would work back in the movies. When I got a letter to say I would be a volunteer usher at Chapter I was over the moon. I love working with the Front of House team, they’re all so friendly. It’s a real joy to work here, such a nice, easy-going atmosphere. What’s been my favourite film? I’ve enjoyed Les Miserables, Quartet, Philomena, and Heaven’s Gate, what a movie! But the real stand-out film has been Wadjda. I said to Jon (Front of House Manager) after the movie, ‘that goes right to the top of my list’ I went into HMV the next day and bought it on DVD!

Jonathan Baldock, The Soft Machine. Photo: Warren Orchard
chapter.org
Jonathan Baldock: The Soft Machine Fri 18 Apr — Sun 29 June Curiously irregular and meticulously crafted, Jonathan Baldock’s hybrid forms occupy the gallery space, acting as both costume and object. The Soft Machine, Jonathan’s first solo exhibition in Wales, explores the relationship between the body and sculpture using installation and performance. His work draws unlikely parallels between seemingly disparate cultural references, nodding to literature, art history, pagan ritual, cinema, fashion and the carnivalesque. Transformation is a recurring motif in Jonathan’s work: masks, nests and shells offer a kind of refuge. They are a new skin to inhabit; a place to lie concealed and protected. Oscar Wilde said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.” For Jonathan, the mask provides a place where you can be yourself. His swathed costumes act as mobile homes which a performer or person can inhabit. Modest materials become monuments, brought to life through carefully choreographed movement; the inanimate becomes animate and the humorous unsettling. Acting as a kind of safe zone, his sculptures can conjure memories of cosy children’s stories, though simultaneously also reference somewhat monstrous fairground attractions.
Exhibition open: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday 12-6pm; Thursday & Friday 12-8pm; closed Monday
Interrogating the role of the forgotten or marginalised craftsperson in our culture, Jonathan has developed a visual language where the importance of materials continues to play a significant role in his work, transforming ‘lowly‘ materials into something of status by defying our preconceived expectations about what they can do or be. Jonathan’s work denies specific narrative in favour of conversation: between tradition and craft, movement and stillness, object and body. Biography Jonathan Baldock was born in 1980 in Pembury, UK. He graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2005 and now lives and works in London. Recent solo exhibitions include: ‘Hot Spots’, The Apartment, Vancouver (Canada), 2014; ‘A Strange mix between a Butcher’s Shop and a Nightclub’, Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge (UK) 2013; ‘The Blue Epoch’, Colloredo-Mansfeldský Palác, AMoYA, Prague (Czech Republic) 2012; ‘Musica’, Annarumma Gallery, Naples, (Italy) 2011; ‘Pierrot’, PeregrineProgram, Chicago (USA) 2011. Selected group exhibitions: ‘Two Figures in a Landscape’ (choreographed by Rubato Dance Group), Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai (China) 2013; ‘Relativity Absolute’, Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridge (UK), 2013; ‘The Gathering’, Mytoro Gallery, Hamburg (Germany), 2013; ‘Implausible Imposters’, Ceri Hand Gallery, London (UK), 2013; ‘Pile’, Chapter, Cardiff (Wales) 2011. He was recently awarded the Abbey Fellowship, British School at Rome (Italy) and Swatch Art Peace Hotel Residency, Shanghai (China).

Kelly Best, Untitled Drawing, 2013, coloured pencil on paper
06
ART IN THE BAR Kelly Best: Out Lines Fri 23 May — Sun 3 Aug Using photographs of architectural structures as the starting point for her work, Kelly Best strips these back to basic shapes and forms. Parts of the background are painted over and the shape becomes more apparent; buildings become a series of vertical lines intercepted by voids where the canvas or paper has been left untouched, bridges span empty spaces and hang helplessly on the canvas. Best is interested in the irregular spaces that begin to appear during the early construction process of drawing and painting. The simple use of line and colour in her most recent work creates a curious false sense of perspective; shadows appear to drop from the surface of walls, altering the view of the space around.
Out Lines is a new piece of work made in direct response to the space and architecture of Chapter’s Caffi Bar and brings together several ideas that Best has been developing during her recent residency at g39, Cardiff. Biography Kelly Best was born in Kent in 1984 and completed her BA Fine Art painting degree at Kingston University, London. She now lives and works in Cardiff. Recent exhibitions include ‘Unit(e) Residency’, g39, Cardiff (2014); ‘Y Lle Celf’, National Eisteddfod of Wales, Denbigh, ‘Painting Exhibition’, Studio B, Cardiff (both 2013); ‘John Moores Painting Prize’, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, ‘Cardiff Open 2012’, Cardiff, ‘Door Painting Prize’, Centrespace Gallery, Bristol (all 2012).

OFF THE PAGE
Sat 7 June + Sat 21 June 2pm
Wed 11 June 6pm
Our ‘Talks at 2’ are on every other Saturday during exhibitions and are hosted by our artist Live Guides Richard Higlett and Samuel Hasler. They provide an opportunity to discover more about the current exhibition and the artists’ approach to making art. No two talks are the same, while we hope they’re always insightful and open. Talks at 2 are free of charge and there’s no need to book in advance — just turn up at the Gallery and join in!
Making connections between writing, publishing and performance, OFF THE PAGE explores the stranger margins of the visual arts. It has a loose, informal, DIY style to allow artists to try things out and take risks. For this event we will be joined by artists Casey Raymond, Richard Huw Morgan and Phil Owen who will each introduce their work using unique and personal methods of presentation. OFF THE PAGE is curated by Samuel Hasler, an artist based in Cardiff who works with text and performance.

Australia/2013/112mins/12A. Dir: John Curran. With: Mia Wasikowska, Adam Driver.
UK/2013/85mins/15. Dir: Steven Knight. With: Tom Hardy, Ruth Wilson.
In 1977 Robyn Davidson went on a 1,700 mile trek across the deserts of West Australia with illtempered camels and a faithful dog, only breaking her sought-after solitude every six weeks to meet National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan in order to fund the journey. Haunting, inspiring and dreamily meditative, this is a visually majestic film of transfixing moods and textures.
A single phone call causes the life of a successful construction manager to unravel during his drive home. With only one onscreen character, this is a bold and riveting minimalist cinematic experiment with a powerfully restrained performance from Tom Hardy.

The Bad Film Club want to brighten up your day with a little summer time sparkle. And what could be more sparkly than Mariah Carey staring in a film which one IMDB user has stated, “is no Showgirls”. A young singer dates a disc jockey who helps her get into the music business, but their relationship becomes complicated as she ascends to super stardom. Guess the weight of the make-up used in the film to make the actors look human, to the nearest tonne, and win a prize.

Wales/1990/60mins/no cert. Dir: Green Eye Media. With: Brith Gof, Test Dept.
UK/2014/88mins/15. Dir: Jon Rennie. With: Craig Roberts, Charlotte Ritchie.
A rare opportunity to see the television documentary of the ground-breaking production created by sitespecific theatre pioneers Brith Gof in collaboration with legendary industrial percussionists Test Dept in the disused Rover car factory in Cardiff in December 1988. The documentary follows the production as it is restaged in 1989 in a sand quarry in Italy, in a crane works in Hamburg, and in Tramway, Glasgow. Made by Cardiff independent company Green Eye, it includes stunning rehearsal and performance footage, interviews with artists and background material on both the ancient Welsh poem Y Gododdin and the groups involved.
Summer 2013: England and Wales. Benny and Jolene are an up and coming folk duo, but Jolene is having trouble convincing her writing partner Benny to become more commercial. Too many music industry ‘types’ are getting involved, leaving Jolene feeling dazed and confused and Benny marginalized. Now they are on a crowded tour bus heading toward a music festival in the beautiful wilds of North Wales — forcing them to confront their ambitions and emotions for the first time. Filmed in just five days and largely improvised, this is a beautiful tale of love, friendship, families and music.

The Punk Singer Fri 30 May — Thu 5 June
USA/2013/80mins/15. Dir: Sini Anderson. With: Carrie Brownstein, Joan Jett, Kim Gordon, Kathleen Hanna.
Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill and dance-punk trio Le Tigre, rose to national attention as the reluctant but never shy voice of the riot grrl movement. She became one of the most famously outspoken feminist icons, a cultural lightning rod. Her critics wished she would just shut up, and her fans hoped she never would. So in 2005, when Hanna stopped shouting, many wondered why. Join us after the screening on Tue 3 June for Chapter’s LGBT film discussion group.
