We've been working on John Gingell's archive in Cardiff. Gingell taught at Cardiff College of Art (now Cardiff School of Art and Design) from the mid-1960s. He co-founded the 'Space Workshop' or 'Third Area' at the College, from which many performance and time-based artists emerged over the years. He was also a member of the Zoo Group, which created collaborative performance events in the early 1970s.The archive is fascinating, with hundreds of photos of performances, along with scripts, notes, cast lists and the odd prop. We hope to add all of this into our database soon and then post it on the website.
If you were one of John Gingell's students, or part of the Zoo Group, then we'd love to hear from you. Please email mail@performance-wales.org
