Proximate Cosmologies draws from the Art Gallery's rich collection to consider the universe as undefinable, where different ways of thinking reveal porous boundaries between the spiritual and material worlds. Artists have long imagined the universe as dynamic, indeterminate, and continually unfolding through the interplay of human and non-human forces. Indigenous understandings are at the centre of this exhibition, highlighting the interconnection between mysticism and origin stories. The exhibition includes works such as Michael Riley's seminal photographic series cloud and Adrián Villar Rojas' The End of Imagination IV, alongside new acquisitions including Susan Te Kahurangi King's drawings that consider imaginary forces, the unseen, and the spaces between worlds.
