Shawcross and Pieters will be discussing Shawcross’ wider practice and introducing his new public sculpture, Time Pebble, commissioned by Breakthrough Properties for the Vitrum by Breakthrough building at St John’s Innovation Park, part of the North East Cambridge Innovation Cluster, due for installation this summer.
Their conversation will show the genesis of Time Pebble, beginning with Shawcross’ pilgrimage to the Holmdel Big Ear in 2008, the eccentric instrument with which cosmic microwave background radiation was observed, a key inspiration for this upcoming installation.
The evening will be of significance for those who are interested in the intersection between science and art, especially how art can be used to illustrate and to allow for further exploration of theories and ideas.
Tuesday 28 April, 7-8pm
Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge
