Project Space Leeds are inviting visitors to reconsider the obvious in their latest instalment.

The ‘Stag and Hound’ won’t be serving up your chosen bitter, more’s the pity, but you will find yourself grappling with contradictory and bizarre amalgamations in this new offering from Steve Dutton and Steve Swindells.

The work forms part of the ‘Institute of Beasts’ project, playing with the notion of structured frameworks in which conventional perspectives are let off the leash, compromising previously held assumptions in a playful and at times disturbing way.

Objects, images and text form a literal collage of ideas, realigning the world in terms of the artists’ own chaotic aesthetic.

Visitors will be thrown into a miasma of confusion and doubt in a world where computers disclose their darkest secrets and activist slogans form the groundwork for musical composition.

PSL will also be hosting a range of special themed events to complement the exhibition, including film screenings and a reading group which will meet up to chew the fat over postmodernism and subjectivity. I hear there’ll be tea and biscuits too.
