g39 is an artist-run gallery and creative community
for the visual arts in Wales, a bridge between artists
and audiences. At the heart of g39’s activities is its
relationship with artists. From exhibition to work
placements to informal gatherings, initiating peer
introductions or realising the most ambitious of solo
exhibitions – across this spectrum of relationships our aim is to encourage and enable every person whose ambition it is to pursue a visual art practice.

Survey II is a major touring exhibition led by Jerwood Arts that presents new commissions by ten of the most outstanding early-career artists. It spans a breadth of disciplines including photography, sculpture, sound, textile, film and installation, providing a distinctive snapshot of current artistic concerns and approaches.
Originally established in 2018, this second edition continues to take a non-institutional approach to selection by inviting over 30 leading artists to nominate who they think are the most exciting and dynamic early-career artists making work today.

Artist-led Shape-shifting
Dutch artist Nicolaas van de Lande, one of the exhibitors in the SurveyII exhibition, welcomes artists, students and those who are interested to join him in an afternoon making session. Participants will co-create a work of art under the guidance of the artist in which they will learn to master the technique of flocking. Participation is free of charge and participants will have the opportunity to bring home a self-made, flocked item.

Nicolaas van de Lande is an artist working with installation, sculpture and photography. His installations are composed of sculptures and found objects which gesture towards the ontological idea that everything is plastic – meaning that unchangeable forms do not exist.
Nicolaas studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Art Academy, NL (2016) and did an MA in contemporary art practice at the Royal College of Art, UK (2019). Solo exhibitions include Sleazy Decorations: Party Time in Croyden, Croyden Arts Store (2018) and Breehornstraat 113, solo show, self-initiated project in a social housing complex, Amsterdam (2016/17). Group exhibitions include Royal College of Art graduation show, (2019), Ambiguity, No Studio, Amsterdam (2019), Textures of Taste, Paleis van Mieris, Amsterdam (2016) Dirty Daisies, Art The Hague, The Hague (2016).

Florence Boyd -
What’s it worth?
valuing opportunities.
30 July 2021
Something that comes up regularly in our one-to-one sessions with artists is the issue of unpaid opportunities that artists are offered or considering applying for. g39 is a supporter of the Paying Artists campaign and we think that it’s essential to a healthy and inclusive culture that artists are paid properly and creative careers are professionally respected.
We also understand that the creative community is vast and complex. We recognise that there can be viable creative solutions to budget restrictions, and that there might be times when the benefits of good opportunities are non-monetary. We think it’s important for artists to consider these issues carefully to avoid being exploited. We’ve been working with artist Florence Boyd who’s been working on a loose flowchart that acts as a set of prompts to consider when approaching unpaid opportunities.

No Time To Plan an Ending
Preview 15 October 2021

Becca + Clare, Freya Dooley, Rebecca Gould, Rhiannon Lowe, Will Roberts, Neasa Terry
Distance and closeness. An arm's reach apart. At least. A breath apart. Minimum. People come together and people move apart. Bumper cars with a no-bumping rule.
This show brings together a collection of people. A collision of people.
The second group from the g39 Fellowship programme - Becca+Clare, Freya Dooley, Rebecca Gould, Rhiannon Lowe, Will Roberts, Neasa Terry - present a collection of new projects, ideas and proposals for works. Some of them have been intermittently based at g39 during the last year as we have navigated different circumstances together. The show is a mixture of live work, work completed over the last two years and projects that were paused through these extraordinary times.

warp Library
When we're open again (!) the warp Library is open, a de-instututional resource for all. The collection mainly houses artist books, arts-related reference books, zines and pamphlets. These span from the socio-political to the experimental, from 60s avant-garde retrospectives to contemporary exhibition publications; and hopefully everything in between. This in an ever-developing, growing collection.
