Two-person show: Leo Fitzmaurice and Kim Rugg

Saturday, February 20, 2010 to Saturday, April 03, 2010 (13:00 - 18:00)

Castlefield Gallery is pleased to present a two-person exhibition with Leo Fitzmaurice and Kim Rugg consisting of both new and existing work. Through the dissecting and re-arranging of mass produced information based material, such as newspapers, brochures, comics and packaging, the artists fragment our visual and cognitive understanding of images and text, and force us to reconsider the familiar from a completely new perspective.
