Secrets of Creation

About

This exhibition documents a unique artist residency crossing the borders of art, science and philosophy. Secrets of Creation will see artist Conrad Shawcross working together at Urbanomic Studio with mathematician Dr Matthew Watkins. The residency, inspired by Shawcross's and Watkins's contributions to the journal Collapse, published in Falmouth by Urbanomic, will focus on the question: How can the work of artists help to make highly abstract scientific ideas comprehensible to non-experts? Shawcross and Watkins will spend the week before the exhibition in discussion, producing concepts, sketches and maquettes for a new kinetic sculptural work.
