12 Million Miles A Minute

Date: 17-26 May 2013
Venue: Institute of Astronomy, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0HA
Private view: Wednesday 15 May, 17.30-19.30

An exhibition of site-specific works by 2nd year students from Cambridge School of Art, in collaboration with the Institute of Astronomy at University of Cambridge.

The Site Specific module presents a context to which students can respond, engaging with the scientific research undertaken by the institute and using it as a starting point to develop their artwork.

The art produced is hugely varied, and has taken the form of sculpture, mixed-media installation, photography, sound-based artworks, as well as performance and video. The module provides students with a great opportunity to explore an important area of Fine Art practice that works in relation to a strong science-based brief for the development of art. It also considers the public context for making art, and with this the opportunities for artists who develop careers by working with clients and in public art settings.
