Discovery

The act of discovery involves the exploration of knowledge as well as the unknown. For this thematic exhibition, artists’ work addresses travel, nomadism, exploration and discovery. As we move through space and time, how do we explore and reflect on life’s journey, how do we identify the new or the unknowable?

Carlos Aquilino

These paintings tell of stories of movement. There is an endless search for new horizons and for the answers which gives meaning to our questions. Constantly on the move, and always spinning.

Jana Astanov

Poetic trance through photography, performance and a journey inside the Caribbean landscape where the embodied Hindu goddesses unveil occurrences of feminine expression, each in her divine powers.

Sue Beyer

Like many landscape painters who attempt to capture, interpret and communicate the Genius Loci of place, I have always been fascinated by the unseen elements of landscape that our worldly senses fail to detect. This painting depicts liminal space. The space in-between just before the scene becomes clear and you know where you are.

James Carman

Dogs are people. People are also dogs.

Elf Intension

James Carman

Elves represent a dimensional world closely aligned with ours. Few are relaxed enough to see.

Empire State NY

Claudia Christoffel

During my stay in New York I made temporary sculptures with pins. These maps, or sculptures represent places which were central to my artist life in NY: this included the roof of PointB, where I met with other artists and unwound from the day.

photography
7.87 x 10.43 in / 20 x 26.5 cm

Maud Cotter

The spinal line of Bedford Ave, Brooklyn provides a framework from which I explore a tidal world of matter. The ebb and flow of this periphery counters the rational assertion of Manhattan. These dual forces inform one another in formation.

My work explores the theme of discovery and the notion of exploring space, both our physical world around us, and our inner private space.

Hilda Ekeroth

This work encapsulates central points of my work from the last years. It is about how details and fragments from everyday life sometimes can tell stories that reflect and mirror contemporary history writing and investigate local and global relations.

HC Gilje

Most of my work deals with exploring and discovering places. Recently, I came upon this site while looking for a location for a light installation in Russia.

Liminal
2015
oil on linen
322.84 x 244.1 in / 820 x 620 cm

Erika Gofton

My work has become a way for me to discover and understand the very deep emotional response I have to being a mother, in particular the liminal state of adolescence. In this state, you are acutely aware that you are no longer responsible for just your own wellbeing but for that of another human. Your anxiety is doubled, your fear is doubled, your guilt is doubled, your uncertainty is doubled. Your own sense of self is irrevocably altered as your child discovers their own sense of self.

The Book and the Wind

Video loop

Eugenia Gortchakov

This video was filmed in the mountains in Kyrgyzstan at a small river. Permanent strong wind turns the pages of the book "The spiritual situation of the time" by Karl Jaspers that I wanted to read in peace. Due to the rush of nature it is impossible to understand a word in the book, which symbolizes man.

Everything we don't see
2015
digital print from original code
35.43 x 27.17 in / 90 x 69 cm

Libby Heaney

My work Everything We Don't See assesses all the unknown and invisible constituents of the universe. Blown up and inverted from my Untitled (Ackermann Quantise) series of prints, it references the expanse of knowledge that we have not yet discovered and all the frequencies and length scales we cannot naturally see. The colours are deliberately bright and rest on a dark background like fragments of the universe imaged by unconventional means. The triangular forms hint at the scientific content and the digital means of production.

Departure
2015
video installation

Svetlana Jovanovic

In Departure, I explore the intersection between our internal and external worlds. Time and space are transfigured to express the convergence of our private and public dimensions. In this state, our sensorial experience gives way to a heightened awareness of the self.

Walking with Chairs

performance

Ienke Kastelein

I perceive my participatory Walking and Sitting projects as research methods as well as performances. I am proposing to discover and explore the relation between the exterior - the world we live in - and what and how this leaves traces within ourselves.

Photon Alignment
ink and watercolor on paper

Jennifer Macklem

Small artistic events outside of deliberate control recall nonlinear fluid dynamics, turbulence, plasmas, complex fluids, expansive or compressed granular media and nonlinearities in soft matter. Experimental in intention and revelatory in practice, these diminutive works on paper ('nonlinear phenomena' series of 6) investigate coalescence, transparency and unpredictable outcomes.

Massif 3
2011
pencil on paper
122.05 x 86.61 / 310 x 220 cm (in 9 parts)

Ralf Tekaat

When I start a new Massif drawing I do not know where I will end up. From the process of the drawing, using many layers of hatching, I build out of my memory something that reminds you of a massif. However at some points it is only structure and abstract form.

Miboi the robot wakes on a shelf in an underground bunker. Emerging from a precognitive space the discovery begins.

Claire Zakiewicz

My practice is driven by process and discovery. I have recently been exploring relationships between sound and drawing within the context of painting. This exploration has produced paintings that speak of entropy, emergence and the depiction of internal images. Each painting uses different methods and materials, except some, which have clones.
