Exhibition Insights

In April and May 2023 we will have the honor of virtually extending the exhibition by presenting Insights to Cosmological Elements in three episodes at UCLA’s Art|Sci Center + Lab online programme:

The upcoming episodes depart from an exhibition, Cosmological Elements, co-curated by Claudia Schnugg and Iris Long. From the micro scale to macro scale, the exhibition represents the relationship between cosmic space and human life from three unfolding chapters: “Hidden Dimension,” “Cosmic Ecology,” and “Floating Civilizations.” This exhibition discusses the idea of cosmological elements through several lenses: the lens of science that questions what are the elements that constitute objects in cosmos and the space in-between, elements that can also become central to study the universe and life on planet Earth, and furthermore, cultural and societal elements that constitute our perception of the universe, visions and desires. 

With each episode addressing one of the three chapters, the curators will offer a visual tour to the show with artists in the respective chapter joining the conversation. In addition to narrating the exhibition chapters, the sessions also anticipate to open up a broader discussion on how art and cosmology can intersect and interact, to probe the source of humanity’s appreciation and reverence for space and the drivers behind the visual imagination of and scientific research into deep space.

在2023年4月和5月,我们将通过UCLA的Art|Sci Center + Lab在线节目,以三个系列节目的形式呈现《步天歌》(Cosmological Elements)展览的内容:

即将推出的系列节目延续了由Claudia Schnugg和Iris Long联合策展的《步天歌》展览。从微观到宏观,该展览从“隐藏的维度”、“宇宙生态”和“流浪的文明”三个逐步递进的章节,呈现了宇宙空间与人类生命的关系。本次展览通过多个角度探讨了“宇宙元素“的概念:科学的角度质疑了构成宇宙中物体和空间的元素,这些元素也可以成为研究宇宙和地球生命的核心元素,以及文化和社会的元素,构成了我们对宇宙、愿景和欲望的认知。每个系列节目都将讨论三个章节中的一个,策展人将邀请各自章节的艺术家加入对话,为观众提供展览的视觉导览。除了叙述展览章节外,这些会话还期望展开更广泛的讨论,探讨艺术和宇宙如何交汇和互动,以及人类对空间的欣赏和崇敬的来源以及深空视觉想象和科学研究的驱动力。

2023年4月21日:隐藏的维度

2023年4月28日:宇宙生态

2023年5月5日:流浪的文明
