To design a great new building takes courage on everyone’s part. I think we have a lot more explaining to do.” Zaha Hadid, 1995 Jonathan Glancey, “A monumental spot of local trouble” (The Independent, Jan 1995) 5 Kelly Best, Installation View.

We understand the level of challenge this presents to current ways of thinking. However we also think it is an opportunity which cannot be missed if we want more equal, vibrant and healthy communities.” Baroness Glenys Thornton, Chief Executive, The Young Foundation, 2016 In 1969 the Welsh Arts Council (WAC) Almost fifty years later, Wales today has still no dedicated, populist, national Wales.

Global Conceptualism? Cartographies of Conceptual art in pursuit of Decentering Sophie Cras Conceptual Art had a dual character: on the one hand, the social nature of the work was progressive; on the other, its structural adherence to the avant-garde geography was conservative.1 For the past few years, a recent trend of research has developed aiming to denounce a “Western hegemony” over the history of conceptual art, in favor of a more global conception of this movement. The exhibition Global Conceptualism, held at the Queens Museum of Art in 1999, was one of its major milestones. Against a tradition that viewed conceptual art as an essentially Anglo American movement, the exhibition suggested “a multicentered map with various points of origin” in which “poorly known histories [would be] presented as equal corollaries rather than as appendages to a central axis of activity.”2 The very notion of centrality was altogether repudiated, as Stephen Bann made it clear in his introduction: “The present exhibition ..

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning

    1 "WE HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT." 2020 FLOOD SURVEY REPORT Commissioned by Leanne Wood MS and Rhondda Cynon Taf Plaid Cymru Councillors regarding flooding in Rhondda Cynon Taf in 2020 Written by C. AMOSS. 2 3 Contents 04 Statement by Leanne Wood MS 05 Introduction 06 Executive Summary 08 Pontypridd Constituency Flooding 16 Rhondda Constituency Flooding 30 Cynon Valley Constituency Flooding 34 Impact and After Effects : Conclusion 37 Recommendations 38 Appendix 4 Statement by Leanne Wood MS In February many people’s lives were turned upside down when Storm Dennis resulted in water entering their homes and businesses. Some people had been flooded before and some were flooded after that day in February, but more havoc was wreaked during that one weather event than had ever been seen in our communities. Scientists have been warning for years that the impacts of the climate crisis will be felt by more people as time goes on. As well as working to combat the causes of the climate crisis, governments – both local and national – have a duty to keep people safe and do whatever is possible to prevent people from being flooded. They should also provide support and do everything in their power to protect people and property in the future. This report analyses the survey responses of those who were flooded in Rhondda Cynon Taf and makes recommendations for action. It also shows the human cost of these floods and the toll it takes on the physical and mental health of many affected – something that has been noticeably absent from the documents produced by the authorities to date.

I found the experience to be humbling to say the least, as it confidence and authority. When selecting work from so many talented artists highlighted great human endeavour and commitment, particularly in a culture there will always be disappointment for some. Selection has to be done with where the future of the arts and arts education is being seriously challenged care and consideration as the resulting exhibition needs to be as coherent and and questioned. As artists we are living in interesting political times and I am as balanced as possible so there is an essential radical approach that allows sure many would agree we have further challenging times ahead of us, so I a sense of fluidity, providing a finely tuned representation of good painting see it as a time when we need to use our artistic abilities as powerful political practice. As a practitioner and lecturer in painting I am fully aware of the voices. It is important to find every opportunity to reveal our voices and this sense of urgency that echoes within us all when applying for open submissions, is where a unique platform such as BEEP Painting Biennial allows the painter creating high expectations and some disappointments.
