For Propellart, Contents May Vary will present the outcome of their Boatelier journey through the waterways of the Rochdale Canal, Social, Liberal and Working Men's Clubs, 24 hour artist residencies and exchanges with those further a field. Music, writing, rubbish, drawing, drinking maybe even drowning are the fruits of their labours on display in the gallery in the city away from the water channels. The collections created aboard Boatelier form the basis of this exhibition at Union 105 and combined with documentation of the process, visitors will discover a snapshot of a week in the lives of Contents May Vary and the artists in residence aboard a narrow boat in the Calder Valley. All are welcome to experience the experiences and to ask what they will of those involved.

Boatellier and Propellart are part of Over Yonder in collaboration with East Street Arts, a project containing the efforts of many collectives and institutions in both the Aire-Calder Valley and Ruhr Vallery in Germany. Contents May Vary is an artist collective of limited means other than savvy and gall. They show anywhere with a roof and sometimes without. There work is informed and informal, giving their audience of all walks a varied artistic experience.

Contents May Vary will also be giving a talk at Union 105 on Collaboration and Collectivity, Wednesday 24th November, 5-7pm, as part of East Street Arts' Weds@105 Series 2. Free and informal.
