All sorts of weird and wonderful art forms come together this May and June at Nettie Horn in an exploration of the theories around the idea of multiple worlds.
David Lewis' Modal Realism theory is one of the more interesting, but some of the ideas can be found as far back as Leibniz and even Lucretius.
The actual likelihood of these theories is not really art's territory, and the work on show is by now means a rigorous test of logic. Rather these artists respond to the ideas with aesthetic flair and no little sense of excitement. Looped videos, burnt out cars, close-up photographs, surreal sculptures and multi-coloured neon strips all contribute to a sense of wonder.
In art, at least, multiple worlds are already a reality.
