This exhibition brings together a group of emerging and established contemporary visual artists whose practices examine the realms of science fiction, mythology, alternative histories and other forms of creative speculation. We are interested in using the In Search Of… television program as a model for inquiry to generate a cross-disciplinary discussion of fringe explorations.
