As societies in decline become a focal point in pop culture and cinema, SuperUnknown presents the work of 12 artists exploring the fringes of dystopia and apocalypse through image and sculpture. The tonal range of the varying investigations is impressive from Rob Sherwood’s pixelated explosions in ‘Nothing to Fear, Nothing to Doubt’ to Ed Payne’s bleak mathematical experiments. Rosalie Wiesner’s ‘Room’ is a light box depicting a glowing ethereal miniature interior within a woodland landscape. Whilst Gordon Cheung’s ‘Minotaur II’ portrays an exquisite candy-coloured bull frolicking across a polycarbonate landscape painted over stock listings. Until 13 Nov.
