INTERACTIVE TAPESTRY WEAVING Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre, Cwmbran, until Sat 20 Aug Admission: FREE. Info: llantarnamgrange.com


Schooled in northern England but based in Wales since the 1980s, Alastair Duncan’s practise intersects two artistic mediums I’m unaware of anyone else combining. He’s a tapestry weaver who also works with sound art, mainly field recordings, inspired partly by the rhythms generated by the weaving process. As per the exhibition title, the tapestries displayed in this exhibition will have touch-activated audio accompaniment, and Duncan will also be creating an entirely new tapestry during this show’s run.
