Salem
14/06/2008Castlefield Gallery presents Salem, a group show of four artists, Ruth Barker, Sigga Bjorg Sigurdardottir, Erica Eyres and Niall Macdonald, whose work uses drawing, sculpture, video and installation to invert the truisms of contemporary imagination. The distinct aesthetics underpinning their work in each case draw from the artists’ diverse cultural backgrounds in (respectively) the North of England, Iceland, Canada and the Western Isles of Scotland. Representing the echoes of these disparate locations through a contemporary lens of the critical grotesque, the artists will present new work that explores their varying obsessions.
