Oriel Davies Gallery

The Oriel Davies Gallery in Newtown has a new exhibition by Paul Granjon.
It's a great little gallery situated in the heart of Mid Wales.
I'd always wondered why there were so many gallerys in Wales called Oriel.
But a couple of years ago I found out that Gallery in Welsh is Oriel, Doh!
Today was the opening day and you could see them putting together the artwork.
Here is a bit of gallery blurb about the exhibition.
Many of the extraordinary objects in Oriel Factory have been created by volunteers* working with Granjon in the Gallery?s ?factory? environment. Using electronic waste ? discarded printers, VCRs, speakers, toys, computer circuit boards ? as raw material, yesterday?s technology has been deconstructed and re-configured as new prototypes and artificial intelligence. An accompanying film documents the process. The exhibition also presents Granjon?s latest technological devices and drawings in which he explores the possibilities offered by home-manufacturing equipment and the high-tech devices of tomorrow?s world.
