    Opening Event at Ffotogallery
    Friday 7th August
    7.00pm – 9.30pm

    Over the past 25 years, tactileBOSCH has championed experimental performance, installation, sound and interdisciplinary practice, working with hundreds of artists and presenting projects across Wales and Beyond. This exhibition celebrates that history by bringing our archive into the gallery as a living resource, inviting artists to respond to it in new and unexpected ways.

    We'd love for you to join us at Ffotogallery and spend some time exploring the archive. We invite you to rummage through 25 years of photographs, posters, publications, ephemera and documentation while experiencing a programme of new live works that reflect on our past and reimagine it for the present.

    Featuring live performance, installation, sound and film by:

    Holly Slingsby

    Jan Bennett

    Mia Roberts

    Paul Regan

    The exhibition runs from 7–16 August. For gallery opening times, please click on more info to visit the Ffotogallery website.

  • FITVG Exhibition at Ffotogallery: 7–16 August

    For 25 years, tactileBOSCH have made ephemeral, time-based practice in abandoned spaces, now long gone, capturing moments of a Cardiff that no longer exists. The work was never built to last. Performances for one night. Rooms transformed and then abandoned. Half-remembered conversations and ideas never realised.

    What remains are fragments. Photographs. Audio recordings. Video files. Projection slides. Notebooks. Posters. Hard drives and Polaroids.

    For our birthday year, they are opening Pandora's box. Join us at Ffotogallery, where the archive will be live across formats. Watch. Listen. Flick through. Sit with a projection. Put on headphones. The material spans the life of the collective and the hidden history of Cardiff itself — the disused factories, the abandoned nightclubs, the marginal buildings we reanimated.

    Grassroots practice is fragile. It leaves few traces. It operates outside the institutions that preserve history. Right now, art schools are contracting. Funding demands measurable outcomes. Independent spaces are disappearing.

    The ghosts of past practice are not simply memories. They are raw material. To summon them, to handle the fragments, to listen to the lost recordings, to sit with what was almost forgotten is to ask not only what happened, but what might still happen. What futures can we build by reanimating what came before?

    Add your own memories. Leave a note. Record a story, a memory, an idea, a dream for the future. Help us imagine what artist-led grassroots practice in this city could look like over the next twenty-five years.

    This is not a retrospective. This is a reactivation. A site of speculation, improvisation and encounter.

    Join us at Ffotogallery and experience the archive firsthand. Handle the materials. Listen back. flick through, sit with what remains and add to the stories.

    Gallery Opening times: Wednesday - Saturday: 12pm - 5pm

tactileBOSCH was founded in June 2001 by artists Kim Fielding and Simon Mitchell. Based in an atmospheric, rundown Victorian Laundry building.

The arts collective quickly established itself as an exciting hub of freethinking artistic expression and has since developed into one of the key players in Wales’ arts scene.

tactileBOSCH is an artist led collective championing experimentation and specialising in performance art, multi-media, and site-specific installation. Through its exciting programme of exhibitions and events, tactileBOSCH seek out and adapt to new spaces and contexts, granting permission to artists to experiment with their work in a way entirely impossible in a traditional or gallery setting.
