(1888PressRelease)
June 15, 2009 - The thirteen Swedish based artists included work with ideas and ways of making that force us to look and look again. We may think we have understood an image but when we allow ourselves a closer examination there are unexpected twists, shocking details, hidden pratfalls, double and triple meanings. Cut my legs off and call me shorty! is an exhibition that explores elements of humour and surprise.
