Creativity & Curiosity

Conversations between Artists and Astronomers

https://www.creativityandcuriosity.com/

 ‘Creativity and Curiosity’ is an art/science project led by contemporary artists Gillian McFarland SSA and Ione Parkin RWA, in connection with astrophysicists, cosmologists and planetary geologists and other collaborating artists.  Active engagement through discussions and creative dialogue has developed a growing body of artwork that is being exhibited across the UK and abroad.  This collaboration has provoked astronomers and artists alike to view their practice through different disciplines and has encouraged deeper thinking on the partnering of Art and Science.

Gillian has collaborated with artists and scientists in the realising of artwork within this project. These are Graeme Hawes in the production of the Space Globes, Daniela de Paulis in Moon Bouncing Performances, Dr Amaury Triaud in the images for Flat Fields Series and Collette Rayner in the animations Horizon Plays Itself Back into Being.
