Cosmic Mysteries is a touring show, and opened in London at London Art Fair in January 2010.

The exhibition touches on the great unknowns of human existence through the singular filter of four distinctive and compelling artists.

Alistair McClymont’s diverse practice often sets out to investigate the romanticism with which contemporary cultural products have been invested. Here, McClymont takes our love affair with air freshening products as a starting point for a meditation on fantasy and the imagination.
Adam King collects and appropriates objects and images which are then reconfigured to create strange and ambiguous forms and landscapes. His richly worked yet ‘lo-fi’ collages are influenced by contemporary culture, art and history, and the tension between the urban and the natural worlds.
Laura Morrison considers the powerful and seductive techniques of visual language, and uses painting and sculpture to explore the resemblance of art making to the exercise of religious belief.
Alex Pearl’s ‘Stargazer’ films and projections attempt to recreate the feeling of staring into the night sky, and the sense of nostalgic wonderment it gives. His ‘spaceship’ drawings, films and small sculptures derive from his love of TV science fiction and the ‘starview’ – the screenshaped image of the cosmos as seen from the bridge of a TV spaceship.

Cosmic Mysteries is curated by Monika Bobinska.
