TheRussianFrostFarmers and 11433.83 present …. Two sides of the same coin An international exhibition temporarily uniting antipodes Wales and New Zealand celebrating some of the best contemporary artists from each region. Tossing a coin in the air, it's flat surface momentarily takes on a three dimensional spherical guise, a globe spinning through space. It is here you call heads or tails. As the odds would have it both the Welsh (UK) and NZ coins both feature Queen Elizabeth II. On the flipside our national identities are cast. 11433.83 seeks to both articulate respective identities and blur the fixed distinctions of opposites by viewing place, object and language as a constantly changing matter of perception. By providing a forum for artists working in the same contemporary world but in different locations 11433.83 presents an ambitious curatorial project that will twin g39 and The Russian Frost Farmers. Taking it’s name from the exact distance in miles between Cardiff and Wellington directly through the middle of the world, 11433.83 will bring leading and emerging contemporary artists from both regions together in dialogue, opening up exchanges between their respective contemporary art scenes. Preview : Friday : 28 : 10 : 11 : 6pm-8pm Exhibition open until : 04 : 11 : 2011 Featuring : Kevin Hunt | Huw Andrews | Megan Broadmeadow| Fern Thomas | James R Ford | Kate Woods The Nomadic Artist/Global Refuge - RAOB - above Bats Theatre - Sunday 30th October 1pm The program features a discussion forum on various artist run spaces from around the globe and a screening of the talks presented in Cardiff the previous day.
