Curated by Mary Birmingham, Cutters, presents work by contemporary artists who employ processes of cutting, shredding, tearing and perforating to make art. Using knives, razors, pins, scissors, hole punches, lasers, shredders and even plasma cutters, the artists in this show alter surfaces and entire objects to enhance their visual and symbolic meanings. Exploring formal and contextual issues, the works in the exhibition comprise a wide range of media, incorporating painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and installation.
