Artakt (Science and Art

Science and Art

Artakt is an innovative research centre at Central Saint Martin's who's misson is to cross over between the boundaries of art and science. They explore subjects rooted in art and science, Leonardo da Vinci being very influential a man who saw art as a means of research for science. They also look at neuroscience and psychology including 'Head on : Art with the brain in mind, 2002' organised by the Wellcome Trust at the Science Museum in London. Where artists join neuroscientists to collaborate.

Leonardo da Vinci.

View of a Skull, c. 1489 and The Vitruvian Man, c. 1487

If I am going to explore the relationship between Science and Art I really should look at Leonardo da Vinci.

Just think about this idea made by writer Jonathan Jones for the Guardian online, ''What we need is an artist who is also a scientist; or a scientist who thinks like an artist. And at last I can unveil that missing link of art and science''

The Romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich

This painting is 'Wanderer above a sea of fog, 1818' by Caspar David Friedrich. I can't believe that it's taken me so long to discover such a significant artist who's landscape paintings echo romanticism and the sublime.

Flyer for Exhibition in January.

This Will be my first group show outside of Wimbledon College of Art. Here is the flyer.

Planning for Group Show

It is the 28th of December and it's coming to that time where I have to start thinking about my art practice again after the festive break. I need to resolve plans for the Group show in East London which takes place next month for 3 days. I have to choose works that I could put into the Exhibition and most importantly produce and finish my sculptures for the show. I have been thinking a lot about the Museum as a medium and the relationship between science and art. I want to cover the space with bizarre alien objects which at the same time are somehow familiar, I want the work to be ambiguous, is it an accumulation of cancerous cells? An odd utopian world? I am reminded of Anthony Gormley's 'European Field, 1993' an installation that took over the floors of the Kunsthalle zu Kiel Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Keil, Germany.
