Sculptor Robert Kennedy.

Six separate small upright works set on stone bases; two boxing gloves, two dolls, cherub and a skull. Information from Festival Park: 'The works were carved away from site during 1991. They are made to operate as conventional garden ornamentation, within a constructed garden. The boxing gloves are there to depict some of their associated aspects, such as maleness and competition. The dolls depict something of how an image is idealised for mass consumption, becoming a distortion of the human figure. Both the gloves and the dolls can be seen as gendering devices through role play. The cherub and skull are life and death charms. Each of these suggests ways in which we adopt roles in society. What we really are is never as clear cut as what these images suggest.'
Borderline was supported by Garden Festival Wales and Chapter Arts Centre. 'The sculptor, Robert Kennedy, felt that the Garden Festival was a huge, themed social event in itself. He wanted to create a themed garden within it, something social, commenting to some extent on the diversity of culture within real society.'
A number of sculptures were commissioned for the Garden Festival of Wales in 1991/2 and some works remain on site.

"Good budget hotel providing just the basics at a good price for a major city It is very near to the station and central shopping area. However it is located on busy street over a pub and is therefore inclined to be noisey at night. The staff were freindly and helpful and I would use it again."

Desk, iron/ironing board, rollaway beds, WiFi

"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was spotless. Previous guests complained about noise but we had a very quiet room and were not disturbed at all."

5/5 Excellent

Beautiful Central Hotel

"Amazing first time experience at both Hotel and millennium Stadium…such a prime central location. On issue not at all linked with the hotel is the city ctrs v busy roads, which include lots of bus lanes which aren’t obvious, hence receiving a fine/ticket a few days later! Apart from this, perfection at its best and would definitely stay there again :) "

5/5 Excellent

"Saw other reviews and agreed the place is dated however, the beds were so comfortable, the room I had was great and the hotel is in the centre of Cardiff so it is perfect. There is clear parking instructions that is provided by the hotel. They do not have a private car park but an ncp one is a 2 minute walk and the hotel provide a discount code. Just read the instructions! Will be using the angel hotel again. "
