Modern Art Oxford presents three new exhibitions this spring. Mircea Cantor is one of Europe's most exciting young artists. The Need for Uncertainty is a major new body of work commissioned specially for our Upper Gallery.

Alongside Cantor's installation, we present an exhibition of photographs spanning 50 years by the 20th-century American photographer Ansel Adams.

In our Lower Gallery, rising star Katie Paterson transports us to Iceland and to the moon and back, presenting recent work as part of our Encounters series.

Mircea Cantor’s videos and mixed media installations address the notion of displacement and parallel realities.

Cantor presents a stunning new sculptural installation in Modern Art Oxford’s Upper Gallery exploring the theme of uncertainty. Wood carvings in a forest and a flying carpet hand-woven with figures of angels and aeroplanes are some of the elements used by Cantor to prompt reflections on worlds within worlds and the relative notion of freedom and its limitations.

The exhibition is the first in an ambitious new series of commissions produced in collaboration with Arnolfini, Bristol and Camden Arts Centre, London.

Born in 1977 in Oradea, Romania, Mircea Cantor lives and works in Paris and Cluj, Romania.
