AiR Space/Craft has been a pilot project for a hoped for city centre artist in residence programme.

Thanks to all who have supported us so far, especially Coastal housing for their hospitality, the Welsh Church Act fund for their funding and Urban Foundry for their lifesaving logistical assistance!

Watch this space for future projects, but for now we are offline for a well earned rest!

“Pick a word or phrase at random, let mind play freely around it until a few ideas have come up, then seize on one and begin to write. Try this with a non-connotative word, like “so” etc” - Bernadette Mayer.

Swansea Automatic - Residency, event & workshop

AiR Space/Craft, 30-31 High Street, Swansea
24th – 26th September 2015
“Pick a word or phrase at random, let mind play freely around it until a few ideas have come up, then seize on one and begin to write. Try this with a non-connotative word, like “so” etc” - Bernadette Mayer.
Swansea Automatic (Aquifer Press) is an experimental novel by poet Rhys Trimble. It celebrates Swansea through the creative writing advice of Bernadette Mayer – an author associated with the American l=a=n=g=u=a=g=e poets. In the novel Trimble attempts every one of nearly a hundred pieces of ‘advice’, the results of which are a cross between an epic poem, a surreal semi-autobiographical comic novel and a notebook exploring the springs of creativity.
To launch the book Rhys Trimble will be in residence at Swansea’s AiR art and craft space, there’ll be an evening launch event and creative workshop where those that attending can try out some of Mayer’s innovative ‘experiments in writing’ for themselves.
Residency: 24th – 26th of September in AiR building
Launch party: 25th September 6.30pm
Workshop: Saturday 26th September 1 – 3pm, £5

Organised by Rhys Trimble, AiR Swansea, Poetry Wales and Aquifer Press.
