In Victor Ocares's new exhibit,
he plays with concepts such
as uncertainty and knowledge,
wondering if they are as clear cut as
they sound, or whether they intersect
with one another. Victor's works
are usually influenced by a blend of
mysticism, philosophy and science,
and in this exhibition he shows all
three through a series of audio,
sculpture and visual art pieces.
Runs until October 5
Landiða
Véronique Legros's latest exhibiton is
