25 years ago we presented Paul Granjon's first solo exhibition in the UK, Z Lab 2001, from 14 July to 1 September 2001. Z Lab was the fictitious research centre of Granjon’s company Z Productions, specialising in low technology applied to the electronic arts.

The exhibition revealed the projects developed within this centre, including an automated forest complete with electronic birds and glowing works, alongside a cyber rabbit standing on self-watering real grass and endlessly repeating the words: “Robot Rabbit”. Through technical expertise and a sense of playfulness, the artist made accessible serious issues concerning science and progress in contemporary culture.

This exhibition was developed by Chapter.

25 mlynedd yn ôl, cyflwynwyd arddangosfa unigol gyntaf Paul Granjon yn y DU, Z Lab 2001, o 14 Gorffennaf i 1 Medi 2001. Z Lab oedd canolfan ymchwil ffuglennol Cwmni Z Productions Granjon, yn arbenigo mewn technoleg isel a gymhwysir i'r celfyddydau electronig.

Datgelodd yr arddangosfa'r prosiectau a ddatblygwyd yn y ganolfan hon, gan gynnwys coedwig awtomataidd ynghyd ag adar electronig a gweithiau disglair, ochr yn ochr â chwningen seiber yn sefyll ar laswellt go iawn sy'n dyfrio ei hun ac yn ailadrodd y geiriau'n ddiddiwedd: “Cwningen Robot”. Trwy arbenigedd technegol a synnwyr o chwareusrwydd, gwnaeth yr artist faterion difrifol ynghylch gwyddoniaeth a chynnydd mewn diwylliant cyfoes yn hygyrch.

Datblygwyd yr arddangosfa hon gan Chapter.

We are currently installing Jonathan Baldock’s exhibition Held at Mostyn, an exhibition developed by Arnolfini in Bristol, where it was first presented this summer.

Described by art critic Eddy Frankel as a “tense world of folkloric psychedelia and pagan aesthetics that is weird, threatening – and utterly compelling”, Held brings together a vibrant array of works from the past two decades of Baldock’s career.

Ahead of the exhibition opening at Mostyn on 24 October, read Frankel’s full review in The Guardian here: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/jun/26/jonathan-baldock-held-review-arnolfini-bristol

Ar hyn o bryd rydym yn gosod arddangosfa Jonathan Baldock, Held ym Mostyn, arddangosfa a ddatblygwyd gan Arnolfini ym Mryste, lle cafodd ei chyflwyno gyntaf yr haf hwn.

Wedi'i ddisgrifio gan y beirniad celf Eddy Frankel fel "byd llawn tyndra o seicedelia gwerin ac estheteg baganaidd sy'n rhyfedd, yn fygythiol - ac yn gwbl gymhellol", mae Held yn dod â llu bywiog o weithiau o'r ddau ddegawd diwethaf o yrfa Baldock ynghyd.

Cyn agor yr arddangosfa ym Mostyn, darllenwch adolygiad llawn Frankel yn The Guardian yma: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/jun/26/jonathan-baldock-held-review-arnolfini-bristol

Opening later this month!
Held by Jonathan Baldock

Developed by Arnolfini, Bristol, Held brings together a vibrant array of works from the past two decades of Jonathan Baldock’s career.

Baldock regularly refers to the natural world in all its complexity. Depictions of growth and care will be shown alongside fantastical part-human, part-animal, part-plant creatures. Together, they conjure a folkloric world in which the natural world can be nurturing, wildly exciting and even dangerous.

Keep an eye on our feed as we share more about the exhibition soon.

🗓️ 24 October 2026 to 13 February 2027

Yn agor yn nes ymlaen y mis hwn!
Held gan Jonathan Baldock

Wedi'i ddatblygu gan Arnolfini, Bryste, mae Held yn dwyn ynghyd amrywiaeth fywiog o weithiau o'r ddau ddegawd diwethaf o yrfa Jonathan Baldock.

Mae Baldock yn cyfeirio'n rheolaidd at y byd naturiol yn ei holl gymhlethdod. Bydd darluniau o dwf a gofal yn cael eu dangos ochr yn ochr â chreaduriaid ffantastig sy'n rhan-ddynol, rhan-anifeiliaid, rhan-blanhigion. Gyda'i gilydd, maent yn creu byd gwerin lle gall y byd naturiol fod yn feithringar, yn gyffrous iawn a hyd yn oed yn beryglus.

Cadwch lygad ar ein ffrwd cymdeithasol wrth i ni rannu mwy am yr arddangosfa yn fuan.

🗓️ 24 Hydref 2026 i 13 Chwefror 2027
