Don’t Miss David Shillinglaw’s Mono Print Workshop and Artist Talk tonight Thursday 27th March 6-8PM at the Scream Editions POP UP 20 Fouberts Place near Carnaby street.
The Cosmic Kiosk
Part shantytown souvenir shop, part shamanic medicine temple, The Cosmic Kiosk gestures toward a number of spaces. A place where potted plants rub against framed drawings, rusty tin cans lean up against carefully constructed assemblages. The viewer is invited to get lost amongst the clutter, joining the dots and freely building associations and meaning within the chaos. The collection of objects and images attempt to blend and blur the boundaries between gallery, studio, home and place of worship. The site-specific installation aims to deliberately confuse the focus on where art begins and reality ends.
“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.”
-Carl Jung
Inspired by a variety of trips to far reaching lands, in particular a Vietnamese inconvenience store located deep in the jungle island of Phu Quoc, and shamanic huts on the river banks of The Gambia, the Cosmic Kiosk mixes objects of material value with objects of pure sentimentality. Highlighting the spirit of an object and celebrating the magic that can be placed or contained within any object or image.
