Welcome
Welcome to your guide to September. As we reluctantly reach the end of summer, we say goodbye to our Gallery’s exhibition, Thirteen Blackbirds Look at a Man. With its videos of hazy summer fields and cabinets of curiosities steeped in nostalgic childhood holidays spent in Wales, we’ll be sad to see it go. Catch the show until Sunday 6 September (p4–5). Over in our theatre the brilliant Waking Exploits are back with new theatre production NSFW (Not Safe For Work) (p14) a razor sharp comedy about the world we live in today. And calling fans of Anime! We welcome the return of Kotatsu (p24–25), a one-day festival of Japanese animation, with shorts, feature length animation and a marketplace crammed with treats. Are you a student soon to start or return to college or university? We know that Cardiff has so much to offer, but we love that you enjoy coming to visit us. Become a Chapter Student Member (for free) and enjoy lots of perks, including discounts on tickets and at our Caffi Bar. Find out all about the scheme, and hear from one student who can’t get enough of Chapter, on page 8. Thanks for reading and see you soon!

From L to R: Fiona MacDonald, Forage, 3 x HD video loops; Annie Whiles, One of the Gapers (detail), 2015
Thirteen Blackbirds Look at a Man Fiona MacDonald, Cathie Pilkington, Annie Whiles & Sean Ashton Until Sun 6 Sep Taking its title from the poem ‘Thirteen Blackbirds Look at a Man’ by RS Thomas, this exhibition features four artists concerned with how modern urban existence has separated us from the natural world: socially, spiritually and culturally. What was once seen as magical is now understood in rational ways. The artists look at the gaps in our collective knowledge and personal experience and present imagined symbolic encounters with a dark humour, willing us to believe in what they tell us. Eluding the day-to-day, the works explore the realm of fiction and folklore and linger there, rather than backing into explanation or analysis. The story gradually unfolds through snippets of narrative, revealing ideas of visual mysticism or occult import.
Exhibition open: Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday 12–6pm; Thursday & Friday 12–8pm; closed Monday
The characters depicted by individual works may have originally been sourced from real life, biblical stories, Greek myths or German fairytales, but their storytelling has been turned sideways in the making. The works accumulate ideas and sensibilities about the world, with some alluding to a quasi-religious or spiritual dimension. The effortful and personalised act of crafting — be it in carving, moving image, painting, modelling or embroidery — connect to the tradition of objects and images across continents: in high religion and low vernacular, of the talisman, the fetish object, the relic and the lucky charm.

Fiona MacDonald, Wild Word, 2015.
ART IN THE BAR
Fiona MacDonald: Wild Word Until Sun 6 Sep The alphabet is emblematic of abstract, anthropocentric notions of meaning, so draws a sharp contrast with the organic, growing materiality of the trees. The ‘letters’ are selected and arranged from an ongoing collection of photographs of found shapes that MacDonald interprets as signs and communications from nonhuman nature. The work’s (playful, serious, deep, shallow) proposition is that gestures and forms can be proffered and interpreted across species divides. The meaning of these signs may also be more abstract, or embodied. In making and observing paintings, one reads subtle shifts in weight, colour, texture and sheen as meaningful, which has parallels with the way a naturalist learns to watch for traces of scuff, hair or track to sense the activity of an animal: each mark can signify a change in direction or intent.
Wild Word also reflects on ideas around sacred and profane symbology — the hidden meanings found in objects or images only legible to the initiated. One manifestation of this was the medieval Christian ‘doctrine of signatures’ — the idea that plant and animal parts would aid the function of the organs (or relieve the disease) that they were considered to resemble.

Art in the Bar
Gwyn Williams: Chipwood and Choppers Fri 18 Sep — Sun 1 Nov Gwyn Williams’ new series of work is based on his dreams and interest in the old American way of life. Williams searches internet auction sites for photographs and archive images that depict archetypal scenes of Americana: men and women dressed up as cowboys at a summer fair; a couple sat in a canoe on a vast blue lake surrounded by pine trees; snapshots that appear to have been taken directly from a family holiday. Unedited and untouched, Williams juxtaposes these strangely nostalgic images with sections of chipwood wallpaper, a material which, for him, evokes memories of his childhood home in North Wales and days spent fantasising about the ‘American Dream’. Gwyn Williams lives and works in Clwt-y-bont near Caernarfon. Recent exhibitions include, ‘The scent of Dic Aberdaron’, Oriel Davies, Newtown (2015); ‘Y Lle Celf’, National Eisteddfod of Wales; ‘Oriel Davies Open’, Oriel Davies, Newtown (both 2014); ‘Pebbledash and Polaroids’, Hackney Picturehouse, London; MOSTYN Open 18, MOSTYN, Llandudno (both 2013).
OFF THE PAGE Wed 9 Sep 6.30pm 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. Each artist introduces 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. FREE but ticketed, please book your place by contacting our Box Office.

I’m about to start my final year studying History at Cardiff University. I first heard about Chapter at my first ever freshers’ fair, (it was only two years ago but it feels like an eon... eek). Chapter Student Membership offers some brilliant money saving deals for students, such as 10% off food and drink (yes, including alcohol if you’re over 18!), and discounted tickets for both cinema and theatre. Not only that, but having a Chapter Student card means you can collect points to spend — double bubble! I often invite my friends to Chapter on gloomy weekday evenings after hours in the library, and it’s always a welcome relief being able to enjoy some different films at the cinemas, occasionally followed by talks with some of Cardiff University’s own lecturers. Bringing students over to Canton from the other side of Cardiff can be a struggle, but once you manage to get a few over, they often become regular faces — that’s what happened to me, at least!

How would you feel if an outsider came to the village your family had lived in for generations and told you all to leave? Nestled deep in the Welsh Valleys, The Good Earth is an explosive new protest inspired by true events. The action unfolds through physical theatre, rousing Welsh folk song and new writing, bringing to life a valley torn apart by their council, big business and eventually themselves.
Original concept & Direction by Rachael Boulton. Musical Direction & Arrangement by Max Mackintosh. Devised by Motherlode. The Good Earth is Motherlode’s debut production, co-produced with Fragments, Motherlode & RCT, in association with Wales Millennium Centre and Chapter. Supported by Arts Council Wales.

Homo irrationalis (Latin: “irrational human”) is a recently discovered new branch of the current dominant species Homo Sapiens (Latin: “wise human”). Through evolutionary adaptation, H.i. beings have lost the ability to be sapient (thinking or wise), and so are locked into ever more erratic, unexplainable and irrational behaviours. Three brilliant and unconventional researchers invite you to join a presentation, using movement, projection and irreverent humour, to take you on a journey from single cell organisms to “thinking human” and beyond.

The Drowned Girl Wed 30 Sep — Sat 3 Oct 8pm Kelly’s Nan told her she was born a mermaid, and with it her childhood was full of mermaid adventures and cornflake box tails. It didn’t matter that Kelly couldn’t swim. But that was a long time ago, and things are different now. Kelly is drowning in a dead-end job at Asda and her beloved Nan passed away a year ago. She takes comfort in dreaming and diving into a very different reality full of mermaids and happy memories of being by the sea. But as the dreaming starts to take over, Kelly has to learn to swim all over again. At times funny, at times sad, The Drowned Girl is a one-woman play about lost youth, lost loved ones and mermaids. Join Kelly in a world where reality meets fantasy and let her share her stories with you.

There is just one week until Kate Mercer’s 45th wedding anniversary and the planning for the party is going well. But when a letter arrives for her husband Geoff, fissures appear in their seemingly happy marriage. The body of his first love has been discovered, frozen and preserved in the icy glaciers of the Swiss Alps. This careful unpicking of the everyday mechanics of love gives ample room for some incredible performances.
In this charming comedy, British couple Gemma and Charles Bovery emigrate to a small Normandy village, moving in opposite middle-aged local baker and Flaubert fan Martin Joubert. Their neighbour’s imagination leads him to draw parallels between the doomed heroine Madame Bovary and Gemma. Determined to prevent the same tragic end, he becomes involved in their lives.

This film offers the chance to go down the rabbit hole of adaptations. Gemma Bovery, directed by Anna Fontaine, based on the graphic novel by Posy Simmonds which in turn is based on the French classic by Gustave Flaubert which in English is a translation (itself a form of adaptation). When art is made each audience member brings their own interpretation of the story so our Adaptations group discussion is a chance to pick apart these nuances in narrative filmmaking and have a good chinwag after the film so you can tell us what you think.

A reporter is assigned to decipher newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane’s dying words. His investigation reveals a fascinating portrait of a complex man who rose from obscurity to staggering heights.

Disgusted by the uppity Vargas’s intermarrying, and trying to preserve the corrupted status quo, crooked police chief Quinlan decides to use the local drug gang to attack Susan at a remote hotel and frame her as a supposed drug addict.

“A classic adventure film of the best kind” Variety
An Iranian screenwriter goes into hiding with his dog after the government declares dogs “impure” and bans them in public. He darkens all the windows in his seaside villa and prepares to live in relative peace with his beloved pet. A young man and woman appear, seemingly in a state of fear and confusion, and he is importuned to take them in. Made in secret, due to his ban from filmmaking, Panahi makes a study of a society where the absurd has become the norm.

In Michoacán, Mexico, Dr. Jose Mireles, a small-town physician known as “El Doctor,” shepherds a citizen uprising against the violent drug cartel that has wreaked havoc on the region for years. Meanwhile, in Arizona’s Altar Valley (a narrow, 52-mile-long desert corridor known as Cocaine Alley) Tim Foley heads a small paramilitary group whose goal is to halt Mexico’s drugs war from seeping across the US border. A visceral journey into the heart of the border drugs war with unparalleled access for the filmmakers.

In 1938 clockmaker Georg Elser attempted to assassinate Hitler in Munich. However, the bomb went off 13 minutes too late to save 55 million lives. This is a thoughtful and stylish look at the mildmannered, romantic who saw his friends abused for their beliefs and decided to take action alone.

With an outlandish fictional identity torn from the pages of a novel, the backing of the legendary birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll Sun Records and a voice that seemed to be the very twin of Presley’s himself, the scheme — concocted in the months after Presley’s death exploded into a cult success — and the “Elvis is alive” myth was begun. + Q&A with director Jeanie Finlay on Sun 27 Sep

Mild-mannered, socially awkward barber Barney has an accident in work that leads him to the grotesque and comically absurd world of a serial killer. He turns to his fierce mother Cemolina for support as she tries to navigate him away from the eye of exasperated London police officer Holdall. This deliciously dark debut film from actor Carlyle, adapted from the books by Douglas Lindsay is steeped in knife-edged Glaswegian humour.
