Bermingham & Robinson: British Empire Panel Project
To coincide with Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts, Locws International has commissioned a temporary new artwork for outside Swansea’s Brangwyn Hall. The bold, dynamic artwork responds to the magnificent British Empire Panels housed inside the Brangwyn Hall.
Exploring notions of empire and heritage, Wales-based artists Robert Bermingham and Richard Robinson’s installation highlights and reflects upon Sir Frank Brangwyn’s Panels, and brings a contemporary interpretation of some of the themes to Swansea.

Locws Projects 2009 – New Art Project for Brangwyn Hall, Swansea

This installation brings a new focus of attention upon the panels and by doing so reaffirms their national significance and importance.
