Un o Bergische Land (Nordrhein-Westfalen) wyf i'n wreiddio. Astudiais lenyddiaeth Almaeneg, hanes a chyfathrebu yn y Freie Universität Berlin. Fel rhan o'm rhaglen israddedig, bûm ar gyfnewid Erasmus i Brifysgol Fienna. Ar ôl fy Magister Artium, mi wnes i gwblhau doethuriaeth mewn llenyddiaeth Almaeneg. Bûm yn gweithio fel tiwtor ar gyfer GfL (Almaeneg fel Iaith Dramor) yn y sector preifat ym Merlin, ac yna mi es i Brifysgol Sheffield fel DAAD-Lektorin yn 2012. Yn ystod hydref 2016 deuthum i Brifysgol Bangor.

Dysgu

Yn Freie Universität Berlin a'r Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, bûm yn dysgu nifer o fodiwlau ar Astudiaethau Gwleidyddol a Llenyddiaeth Almaeneg yr 20fed ganrif. Fel DAAD-Lektor ym Mhrifysgol Sheffield (2012-2016), bûm yn dysgu modiwlau ar ddiwylliant a chyfryngau Almaeneg cyfoes, celfyddyd, ffilm a pherfformiad yn yr Almaen ar ôl y wal, yn ogystal â modiwlau ar lenyddiaeth gyfoes yr Almaen. Ochr yn ochr â'r dysgu dan arweiniad ymchwil, bûm yn dysgu'r iaith Almaeneg ar bob lefel (ab initio hyd at allu sydd bron cystal â brodorol) ers 2011. Ym Mhrifysgol Bangor, rwy'n dal i ddysgu'r iaith Almaeneg ar bob lefel, yn ogystal â dysgu israddedig ac ôl-radd yn fy maes arbenigedd ymchwil, gan gynnwys e.e. y modiwlau "Culture in Context" (LXE 1600); "Divided Germany" (LXG 2013), "Performing Germany" (LXG 3036), "German Avant-Garde" (LXM 4037) a "Critical Theory" (LXM 4001).

Wrth ddysgu, mae'n well gennyf integreiddio arferion artistig, megis Digwyddiadau ac ymarferion Ysgrifennu Creadigol. Credaf mai dysgu trwy ymarfer yw'r ffordd orau o ddysgu, ond yn bennaf oll, rwyf am ddangos i'r myfyrwyr fod y chwyldro'n dechrau gyda ni ein hunain a'r tu mewn inni ein hunain. Y chwyldro hwn ar yr hunan yn fy marn i yw profiad allweddol bywyd, a bywyd prifysgol yn arbennig. Cefais fy enwebu ar gyfer Gwobr Cydnabyddiaeth Arbennig.

Ymchwil

Mae fy mhrosiect ymchwil cyfredol yn ystyried syniad y ddelwedd symudol yng ngwaith Christoph Schlingensief a sut y caiff ei drawsnewid trwy weithio mewn genres heblaw ffilm, megis cynyrchiadau theatr, dramâu radio a chelfyddyd weithredol. Yn hyn o beth, mae gennyf ddiddordeb arbennig ym mhosibiliadau gwleidyddol celfyddyd a sut mae artist cyfoes yn ymyrryd yn y maes cyhoeddus. Yma, yr wyf yn archwilio strategaethau trawsnewidiol celfyddyd Avant-garde. O ran y cwestiynau hyn, trefnais y gynhadledd ryngwladol"Christoph Schlingensief a'r Avant-Garde"yn y Zie Bielefeld fis Chwefror 2017.

Hefyd, yr wyf yn awyddus i archwilio dulliau ymchwil fel celfyddyd a sut y gall ymchwil ac academi ail-lunio'r cyswllt â'r cyhoedd trwy ymchwil artistig. Yn y cyd-destun hwnnw y dechreuais y project arbrofol "Bellotograph".

Mae diddordebau ymchwil lu i'w cael yn y cysylltiadau sydd â llenyddiaeth a phensaernïaeth ac, yn fwy cyffredinol, yn hanes, diwylliant, gwleidyddiaeth a llenyddiaeth yr Almaen ar ôl 1945, gan gynnwys yr hen GDR. Yn fy nhraethawd doethur, rwy'n edrych ar drosiadau adeiladau ac anheddau yn llenyddiaeth a diwylliant yr Almaen ar ôl y rhyfel a heddiw. Yn ogystal, mae gennyf ddiddordeb yn llenyddiaeth gyfoes yr Almaen yn gyffredinol.)

  • From Avant Garde to Afon Gad – Artistic practices in Wales. Now and then. A conversation performance for Direct Art

    We are delighted to invite you to an open conversation with artists Lindsey Colbourne, Peter Davies, Lisa Hudson, Pete Telfer and Wanda Zyborska.

    Together we will dive into a conversation about contemporary arts practices in Wales and their predecessors. We would be delighted if you want to join our conversation and share your memories of arts events which stayed with you throughout years and decades.

    Where and when: Bangor, Pontio, PL2, 22.6.2022, 5:30-7pm.

    * In 1972, German Fluxus artist Joseph Beuys decided to contribute a durational performance of 100 days to the Documenta 5 (Art World Exhibition in Kassel, Germany). For the so-called Office for Direct Democracy Beuys spent 100 days discussing together with visitors various social design issues relating to direct democracy. Conversation as art. To some extent, we will draw on his idea of art as emerging through conversation.

    One of my arts memories which stayed with me was the so-called “Boxing Match for Direct Art” in May 2021 on Ynys Faelog in Menai Bridge. Joseph Beuys and Max Boyce fought for Direct Art as Direct Debit. By doing that Beuys and Boyce somehow re-enacted the “Boxing Match for Direct Democracy” which Joseph Beuys and Abraham David Christian fought on the very Documenta 5 on October 8 1972. Beuys won – both times.

  • From Avant Garde to Afon gad

    Do you remember when Paul Davies (Grwp Beca) and a group of arts students from the Arts foundation course at Bangor went to Llyn Alaw on Anglesey for co-creating a muddy Map of Wales? Or do you remember 1977 when Meredydd Davies, Maeyc Hewitt, Wil Jones, Stephen Davies, Celyn Davies and Alan Holmes and others shot their Super 8 splatter films in various locations around Bangor? Or have you been on High Street in June 2021, when Rhona Bowey, Lindsey Colbourne, Lisa Hudson, Emily Meilleur, Steph Shipley and Wanda Zyborska, all dressed as social -distancing crones roamed Bangor, handing out cake and plants? Or maybe you witnessed how – one lockdown day in 2020, a silver when a group of five crone dressed women were handing out cake and flowers on Bangor High Street, or do you recall a silver Suzuki Alto was floating through Maesgeirchen, its drivers spreading poetry into the streets with a megaphone?

    Wales bears millions of these odd moments, when something not quite normal happens, art emerges and changes place and time, sometimes only for a short moment, sometimes for weeks, sometimes forever. But too often these moments are not well documented, remain oral history or anecdotes ... or often fall into oblivion. Oblivion ... too often a Welsh thing.

    We want to change this, we seek for bringing these moments back to life ... in conversations, in revisiting sites, in re-enacting – and we are seeking for making the past, the present and the future dance together. Maybe we will realise that there is a Welsh tradition of Avant-Garde art practices out there – maybe under the radar, but as relevant as ever.

    Sarah Pogoda invites artists, members of the community and academics to explore Avant-Garde arts practices in Wales, their history and our memories of predecessors. With a series of events – ranging from performances, discussions, artistic experiments to talks – Sarah wishes to start the collective exploration this early summer. Please do join her. All events are free of charge, some are bi-lingual, some might not, some are multi-lingual, some are not.

    If you cannot make it to one of the events, but you still have stories, documents, photos, film or other you want share, please get in touch with Sarah.

  • BU-IIA Funded Project: Placing Experiment: Artistic Practice and the Nonhuman

    The focus of the project is on how experimental process and procedure in art and writing, influenced by the avant-gardes of the twentieth century, may be newly imagined in a local and global post-pandemic context. Such modes are no longer linked to specific avant-garde groupings, but offer a means of exploring potential in language and materials, and relationships to  the environment, to place. For example, the techniques of Oulipo and Fluxus may be appreciated anew as a means of critiquing and understanding the limitations and potential of human autonomy, including the large-scale effects of humans on the environment. How can process-based writing and site-specific performance help us to understand  the wider distribution of agency and meaning beyond the human? Could this lead to better ecological understanding? How can this critique of subjectivity help to inform scientific processes?

  • Small Scale Solutions: Re-Inventing the Live Event

    Has Covid-19 killed the live event? Many in the Creative Industries fear so (e.g. Biado: 2020), and there is evidence to suggest that audiences will only gradually return (e.g. Audience Agency 2021). The creative responses from arts practitioners during the Covid-19 lockdowns are therefore likely to be central to the revitalisation of public engagement with live arts events following the pandemic. Can we say with confidence: ‘Long live the live event!’? Post-Covid, the live event will certainly be different. Our online conference aims to share ideas, experiences and findings around new kinds of art event. We are particularly interested in small scale events which are not mainly pursued online. Together we will explore the diverse creative responses which have emerged to meet the challenges presented by the pandemic in relation to live events, audience engagement and the creation of ‘liveness’. The online conference will bring together arts practitioners, audiences, stakeholders, funders and researchers.

  • Dada. Or: How to treat your hobby horse with multi-lingual soap.

    In this unit students learned about one of the most radical European art movements from early 20th century: Dada. They got an idea how Dada was an artistic response to World War I. By looking at representative art works they gained insights on how Dada’s open-minded and multi-lingual nature generated a transformative force which is still echoing in today’s world. Some DIY activities made them challenge their understanding of art and might have resulted in them re-inventing themselves as a Dadaist. At the end of this unit, we discussed on how language learning is not only about communicating with others from all over the world, but how it is also an entrance point to so far unknown spaces of creativity, critical thinking and fun.

  • Verifiktion

    Verifiktion ist ein Wortspiel aus den Begriffen Verifikation und Fiktion. Der Begriff soll die Amalgamierung der Bereiche der Wissenschaft und der Kunst verkörpern, ist also der künstlerischen Forschung zuzuordnen. Zugleich nimmt er sich seiner selbst als Paradoxon – ein Verifiktiontext behauptet gewissermaßen auf Grund seiner Fiktionalität einen Sachverhalt zu beglaubigen, also zu verifizieren. Darin angelegt ist auch die Verunsicherung, was ein wahrer Sachverhalt ist und wo die Erfahrung von Wirklichkeit beginnt: im Handeln oder im Denken (=Schreiben).

    Hinzuzufügen ist: Wir sind der Freundschaft verpflichtet, eingeschworen auf das Deutsch-Walisische (siehe Veriguhtvränds).

  • Treat Art with Dada

    This public lecture is part of a Gallery series of public talks on "Art and Words". My lecture performance will introduce the audience to aesthetic strategies of the Dada-movement (early 20th century) within the tradition of the Avant Garde. Here, I will particularly focus how Dada coaxed the creative power of words beyond their common mean to communicate meaning.

  • Welsh Crucible

    Welsh Crucible is an award-winning programme of personal, professional and leadership development for the future research leaders of Wales.

    Funded by a consortium of Welsh universities, in partnership with the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, there is a high demand for places on Welsh Crucible from researchers who are beginning to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields.

    Every year, 30 researchers are selected to participate in a series of residential workshops or ‘skills labs’ where participants explore how they can benefit from working with researchers in other disciplines, how their research can have greater impact, and how they can build international research careers in Wales. Participants continue to build collaborations with each other beyond the formal programme and the Welsh Crucible alumni network enables connections to be made between cohorts.
