g39
An artist-run organisation based in the heart of Cardiff.
g39 is an artist-run organisation based in the heart of Cardiff. Part gallery, part community and part resource, it was founded by artists Chris Brown and Anthony Shapland in 1998. g39 has organised 60 exhibitions to date, both at its main location and in temporary sites throughout the city. The organisation has curated projects internationally at other galleries, acting as an important showcase of work from Wales, as well serving as a conduit for work from further afield. The space is currently developing an artists' resource programme, which will open in September under the direction of Sean Edwards. The recent g39 anniversary show, If You Build It, They Will Come – a retrospective (of sorts) of the last ten years – featured new works from Gordon Dalton, Jennifer Savage, Bedwyr Williams and George Henry Longly, among others.
