Hear about the extraordinary research of Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal, in the thought-provoking context of a conversation with curator and art critic Hans Ulrich Obrist. This event will explore Rees’s groundbreaking discoveries and theories on black holes, galaxy formation and other cosmological issues that have long intrigued artists and the wider public alike.
This conversation emerged from the interests of artist Alice Anderson, in anticipation of our 2015 exhibition of her work, Memory Movement Memory Objects. The event was produced in collaboration with Maud Jacquin, independent curator.
The event will be live streamed so you will be able to watch the conversation live via this webpage. Please check back at the time of the event. The video will remain accessible once the event has finished.
