ORBITS AND OCCULTS; it won't be the end of things...

Eight contemporary artists from North America and the United Kingdom explore the ways in which we navigate complex and ever growing networks of cosmologies.

Taking a cue from the cosmos and the forthcoming solar eclipse, Orbits and Occults explores themes of cycle, ritual and repetition, as related to contemporary culture. The exhibition will feature a variety of media, from film and photography to performance, installation, and painting; a combination of analogue and digital material.

Please join us for the Private View:

Saturday, 14th March, 2-4pm.

The curator and several artists will be in attendance, travelling from distances as far away as The North West Territories, in Northern Canada.

Entrance is Free & All are welcome. Refreshments will be available.

Take Note: As part of her contribution to the exhibition, Canadian artist, and PhD candidate at The University of Dundee, Courtney Chetwynd will be carrying out her performance,biting dust, for the duration of the Private View.

Friday 20th March, 2015, the moon crosses between the sun and the earth, obscuring the sun’s light.  Darkness, but only for a moment.  This ritual, practiced to perfection, has played out since the beginning and will repeat again and again.  A loop.  And every winter change to spring.

Together, these eight artists explore the depth, power, and reach of the ideology, metaphors, and poetics of cosmologies within contemporary culture.
