In this first exhibition from ARTIST ROOMS to be shown in north Wales, 20 small paintings by Katz that span his career - as well as a free standing work, Green Table, 1996 - will be on display in this rare opportunity to see examples of the artist's work in Wales.

NoMad: Eva Koch
As part of the ongoing Love Video series at Mostyn, Danish artist Eva Koch's NoMad (1998) begins screening at the gallery on Saturday.

In NoMad, Koch filmed people walking back and forth on a narrow pier jutting out into the sea to a mosque outside Mumbai. She filmed only part of the scene, showing neither the mosque nor the place where the pier meets the shore. All the viewer sees is the space in between the starting point and the final destination, and people walking towards an unseen goal.

The artist herself will give a talk at Mostyn at 2pm on Saturday afternoon.
