re)arrangements brings the artists together in an exhibition that explores the repurposing, reuse, recycling and reinterpretation of photographic imagery, images collected from the Internet, magazines, films, personal and public archives, studio walls, their own work and other works of art.

These artists rearrange form or idea, seeking new intent by repurposing an existing one. A car part found by the roadside turned 3D glyph; a repainted detail from an early 20^th century naturist magazine; an abstracted fragment of a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device: (re)arrangements explores how strategies of redeployment and recontextualization can generate new ways of seeing and understanding.
