The cybernetic organisms of Hawtins canvas seem to come to life in Thurlows glutinous monuments and bring together both of their intentions as a questioning of the functionality and location of the real and unreal in art and beyond."Open Friday Saturday 12.00 18.00hrs or by appointmentNearest train station: Manchester PiccadillyNotes for Editors: Chris Hawtin and Miles Thurlow both live and work in the UK.
