The new exhibition on show at the Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool, is Blank Stir and it opens today! Featuring new works by two of the most prominent contemporary artists in the north west, Leo Fitzmaurice and Paul Rooney, it's nice to see some northern talent making a welcome comeback to the town.
Rooney has ceated a haunting sound piece specially for the Grundy, while Fitzmaurice works with the seemingly innocent medium of parcel tape to create a thoroughly disorientating gallery experience.
The exhibition comprises two separate installations, which work together to create an unsettling relationship for the observer. This isn't the first time this creative duo have worked together, they did so back in 2008 with their boo Wrongteous.
Blank Stir will run until the 5th May 2012 at The Grundy Art Gallery, Queen Street, Blackpool. Remember admission is FREE so if you have a spare couple of hours or simple fancy a day out at the seaside where better than to open your mind...
