For science and art enthusiasts (yes, if you attend dorkbots or radars and fences, you will know it’s a deep relationship), this is a must go to event. I have the new dorkbot’s from may hot in the oven, and there is one presentation that fills this idea of translational energy to its fullest. i am very curious if the work of Conrad Shawcross and his AMAZING Slow Arc III series will be featured in this exhibit. If his work doesn’t scream “translation of energy” i don’t know what does. Don’t worry, I will be posting those dorkbots soon, so you can experience the genius of Shawcross. Even if you can’t understand a word he says, his pictures are a thousand revolutions.

Science and Art

Translation of Energy

The three-part art & science exhibition continues at Cynthia-Reeves with Translation of Energy: Claire Watkins and Sheila Gallagher. Each part of this exhibition examines how artists anticipate and interpret current scientific investigations. Watkins and Gallagher’s contribution is inspired by the influence of neurobiology and physics on art-making, and how art illuminates the way energy moves from the neurological realm to the physical domain. In other words, how do our ideas flow from our brains and become realized in the “real” world? Stop by the opening reception, or visit any time until Aug. 15.
