Threat to Jonah Jones’s public works, including ‘Y Bont’, reported in ‘Golwg’

On 2 February the Welsh-language weekly magazine Golwg published an interview about Jonah Jones’s life and work with his biographer, Peter Jones. The same issue carried a report on the campaign to find a new home for Jonah’s wall sculpture Y Bont at Coleg Harlech. Golwg quoted a spokesman for Bangor University expressing interest in the piece. “Discussions are continuing with the family about offering a new home for the sculpture and hopefully the new Pontio building will be very suitable.” Scene & Word looks forward to further discussions with the university about this initiative.

Update: the “further discussions” with the Pontio arts centre at Bangor University never materialised.
