Castlefield Gallery is proud to present Making Love to My Ego, an exhibition that adventures into the realm of self-image and alter ego. With a nod to popular psychoanalysis and a keen desire to explore the manifestations of the ego within contemporary art practice, Manchester based artist-curators Another Product have brought together a group of artists to generate an inquiry into the subject.

Castlefield Gallery is proud to have been chosen as a venue for the new Film and Video Umbrella commission Wintergarden by Daria Martin.

Castlefield Gallery is proud to present an exciting touring exhibition that charts a new surrealism in recent British painting and sculpture. World Gone Mad is an exhibition about the visual legacies of Surrealism to be found in the work of contemporary British artists, a generation making renewed links between the novel approaches of the old avant-garde and the resources it offers for their own work and how to picture the world today.
