Overview

Pavel Büchler, Kris Fierens, Gregor Hylla, Maeve Rendle, Ian Rawlinson, Pamela Rosenkranz. When Castlefield Gallery approached the artist and influential teacher Pavel Büchler with an open brief for an artistic or curatorial project, he responded by proposing to reclaim the stripped-down identity of the gallery as, simply, ‘a place where art and the public encounter one another'. There is no overarching theme among the works on show or the artists who have made them. None of the works has been commissioned or made specifically for this exhibition. They originate in places, attitudes and ways of working which are as diverse as the works themselves and the only tentative links among them are their intelligent exploration of the effects of art as art and their resistance to the tyranny of ‘information’ as the means of understanding the world.
