Watch: Disc Unknown at Castlefield Gallery

Filmed by Jules Lister, watch this interview video about how the exhibiton came to fruition.

United by a shared commitment to supporting and amplifying emerging artists, Castlefield Gallery and Pipeline present Disc Unknown, a solo exhibition by Joe O’Rourke. Joe O’Rourke exhibited at Pipeline Contemporary from 4 June to 18 July, 2026 in London and is now at Castlefield Gallery from 2 – 30 August 2026.

Disc Unknown is a solo exhibition of mixed-media paintings that will respond to each gallery space. Presented differently across both venues, the body of work remains conceptually unified. Through shifts in scale and using various materials, found objects, and text, O’Rourke examines how meaning is constructed within painting. The exhibition brings together his ongoing series of DVD-case works alongside larger wall-based and freestanding pieces, guiding viewers through a landscape of recurring motifs, texts, and materials.
