Background:
Running parallel with CBAT’s
Urban Legacies conference Gordon Dalton curated “Ain’t no love in
the heart of the city…” a series of temporary interventions addressing
derelict and under utilised spaces within Wales’ capital, which aimed to
further stimulate debate about the use, care and ownership of under used or neglected
land within the urban framework.
Commission:
The urban spaces were explored
through temporary monuments, field studies, posters and projections as well
as interactions and confrontation with the surrounding community over a four
day period.
