Trace

TRACE is an art space in a terraced house in Cardiff. Dedicated to researching and disseminating performance art, TRACE has a regular exhibition programme that displays documentation, residues and partial objects created through the process of performance. Since 2000 it has presented 56 live solo performance artworks, 28 of which were produced as part of external events and international exchange projects in Wales, Québec, the US and China. In 2006 the organisation initiated publications on performance art through Samizdat Press, including What's Welsh For Performance Art by Heike Roms. TRACE is also home to Trace Collective – a group of artists who focus on living performance activity.
