Through opportunistic experimentation, the collective have learned to be jack of many trades. Now, in the depths of the Palace Hotel, they take on new media as their latest challenge. For Cu, Contents May Vary respond not only to the physicality of the space itself, but also to the context of FutureEverything 2010. They have invited 14 artists, collectives and galleries to exhibit alongside themselves based on each artists' ability to work in multiple disciplines with a strong conceptual awareness of their implemented media. Cu showcases diverse and experimental contemporary art from national and international artists. This eclectic selection of work individually and collectively responds to the new media platform and the unique and charismatic temporary exhibition space they will occupy. Raising questions and instigating dialogue, Cu seeks to address the debate around what could be defined as connections or disconnections between new media and visual art. How should we choose to distinguish and define these terms? Where is the overlap? What commonalities do they share? How do we choose to discuss work in relation to these disciplines and what arises as pertinent or paradoxical from this discussion? http://www.contentsmayvary.org/Cu.html Supported by FutureEverything, Castlefield Gallery and MA Net ....................................................................................

Curated by Blackpool’s Supercollider, this exhibition brings together the work four artists working across various disciplines. Although following different conceptual agendas, the works in the exhibition share a common bond through their celebration of the unusual, unpopular, absurd, redundant, discarded and disenfranchised.
