In a world full of facts it is nice to think that a lack of knowledge can actually be powerful.
In his show Cosmic Divisions James Deutsher uses optical illusion, galaxy-scapes and toy dinosaurs to contrast and contend with our ideas of empirical and non-empirical understanding from the bigbang to the point of pop-culture.
By breaking down the structure we place upon our ways of thinking we free our minds up to be more expansive and more accommodating to the possibilities that can create progress. Similar to the flattened illusions, we begin to realise that ‘in the space between the eye and the brain movement emerges’, and that if we relax our vision the two-dimensional can become three.
Cosmic Divisions is a tiny exhibition packed with big ideas. Upstairs in the smallest of galleries the possibilities of the outside world have never seemed so infinite.
