Ryan Gander - Invocations of the Blank Page - Spike Island
Running along side the "Maelfa" exhibition currently at spike is the "Invocations of the Blank Page" exhibition that is showing in the project space at Spike Island.
The exhibition uses the blank page as a metaphor for the process of creative expression.
Helloblue was commission by Spike Island to print the Ryan Gander image and liaised directly with Ryans studio in order to produce the piece that was printed onto a 200gsm matt Symbio blue back stock.
Below is the image and some information regarding the concept.
Ryan Gander’s large print from the series Felix provides a stage… (2008) documents the making of his work A sheet of paper on which I was about to draw, as it slipped from my table and fell to the floor (a fleet of crystal spheres, each laser-etched with images of falling sheets of paper). Here, the artist stalls the processes of production, dwelling in the moments before the realisation of a work that itself “alludes to the ‘what if’ of the creative process, and the fugitive nature of thought and inspiration.”

Maelfa Exhibition - Spike Island
Our latest project at Hello Blue has been working with Sean Edwards for the new exhibition Maelfa, in the center gallery space at Spike Island.
Sean who has been a pleasure to with has produced a truly breath taking show of print installation, photography and moving image, not only capturing the true beauty and detail of his work but utilizing the huge space of the gallery to perfection.
The works pictured below were commissioned from Helloblue by Spike Island on behalf of Sean Edwards.
Printed at 3 meter sections on a 170gsm photographic paper and then pasted up.
The Maelfa Shopping Centre, Llanedyern, situated on the outskirts of Cardiff, is the focus of Sean Edwards’ latest project. Built around a block of high-rise flats in a council estate in the mid 1970s, the Maelfa centre was once a thriving microcosm of the wider city but declined over the subsequent decades. Edwards undertook a residency in the centre ahead of its planned demolition, making a careful study of the still functioning yet near derelict space, creating a series of new works. Due to the recession, however, plans to develop Maelfa have now been put on hold with the centre still functioning day to day.
