Join Creative Manchester and Jodrell Bank for an evening that moves between science, art and philosophy to ponder what it means to imagine the universe when what we know is only ever partial.
Reflecting on Cosmic Titans – an exhibition of sculpture, installation and photographic work created through collaborations between contemporary artists and leading researchers in quantum physics – the evening brings together leading voices in science and contemporary art, in a conversation hosted by historian and broadcaster Professor David Olusoga OBE.
Joining him are Professor Silke Weinfurtner, quantum physicist at the University of Manchester and co-founder of ARTlab; curator and astrophysicist Dr Ulrike Kuchner and acclaimed artist Conrad Shawcross RA whose work is featured within the exhibition.
The evening will conclude with a specially curated DJ set from artist and composer Matthew Woodham and forms an immersive response to the themes of Cosmic Titans.
