One of these narratives follows Leto, daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe of Greek mythology, as she travels through ancient Lycia seeking water for her children Artemis and Apollo. The comics and sculpture of Aidan Koch consider migration in terms of both ancient mythology and ambiguously dystopian future. ![]() In addressing these issues, Koch and Petros both make significant use of abstraction, and range in their interests from a mythological past to the factual present, and beyond, to the possible future. ![]() Taking its title from Bas Jan Ader’s In Search of the Miraculous, this exhibition considers these artists’ work in terms of questions and histories of migration, and the search, whether for the sublime or for survival, which underlies human movement. Petros, two artists who, despite their disparate media, take related approaches to pictorial space in order to create open-ended narratives, notable as much for the space within them as for the connections between different moments. Transmitter presents In Search Of, an exhibition pairing the work of Aidan Koch and Dawit L. ![]()
