Gravity (and Wonder)
Australian artists play with gravity.
Overview
Quietly keeping us all tied firmly to Planet Earth, gravity is the mighty scientific force taking centre stage at Penrith Regional Gallery's latest group exhibition, Gravity (and Wonder) — where art and science make waves. Think three months of artist and scientist residencies, live performances and out-of-this-world digital projections from some of the top guns in both fields.
For the first time, PRG joins forces with the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences, the University of Western Sydney and Penrith Observatory, bringing together a collision of art and science like Sydney's never seen before. Blue Mountains visionaries David Haines and Joyce Hinterding will present the first attempt to record sound falling from space, with their haunting audio-visual display Descender, while Amy Joy Watson will get your head spinning with her huge floating installation.
They'll be mega-scale works from American artist Richard Serra, Dreamtime paintings of The Moon and Universe from Indigenous brother-sister duo Mabel Juli and Rusty Peters, plus a one-day gravity-defying performance on November 5 at the Gallery's Lewers House (transformed into the exhibition's House of Wonder). Prepare to have your mind blown.
