We are pleased to announce our first ever ‘Festival Season’. Three weeks of exhibitions, events and audience involvement which opens with the launch of LLAWN04 – Llandudno Arts Weekend, a whole weekend of free events along the Promenade and across various venues and spaces in Llandudno.
Friday’s evening launch provides the perfect introduction to this year’s festival with the chance to explore a couple of the main venues and delve into an exhilarating sample of work at your own pace. There are works by two artists curated in partnership at MOSTYN and many other fantastic events and interventions around the town. There’ll be performance, street-games, music, robot-making, dance, visual art, film and the unexpected, all inspired by this year’s theme of Hide/Seek.

AT MOSTYN
Kris Martin
Galleries 2 and 3 hold Belgian artist Kris Martin’s spectacular work T.Y.F.F.S.H.(2011). A full-scale hot air balloon fills the gallery spaces and visitors are invited to enter inside, allowing the architecture of the gallery, and the act of engagement with art, to be considered anew.
Paul Granjon, Am I Robot?
Am I Robot? features Combover Jo, a robot larger than an average dog, who wanders the gallery talking to himself and to visitors. Paul Granjon’s installation presents a live situation that challenges our relation to robots, and our ideas about what they can do.

WE’VE GOT MAIL II
The fourth in a series that examines the MOSTYN building’s rich heritage, We’ve Got Mail II continues the gallery’s response to its former use as a postal sorting office. In 2014 We’ve Got Mail I presented a history of the Royal Mail alongside artworks by contemporary artists. This second show looks specifically at the history of the postcard in the town of Llandudno and presents a selection of classic examples of the use of the postcard in the visual arts.
Artists: Carl Andre, Daniel Buren, Sophie Calle, Robert Filliou, Richard Hamilton, Lawrence Weiner
