I’ll be showing some of the work created during the residency at an evening event at The Science Museum’s Dana Centre – 7pm-9pm, Tue 2nd June 2009. It’s free but you need to book with the Dana here: http://www.danacentre.org.uk/events/2009/06/02/495
Come for an evening of invisibility, intangibility and unexpected properties as artist Julie Freeman, nanotechnologist Jeremy [...]
Jeremy Ramsden and I have co-authored a scientific paper that explores the definition of the nanoscale, and it’s pretty groundbreaking stuff.
I am very excited to have a scientific publication under my belt, and even more excited that Jeremy was willing to allow me to include some cartoons in it.
The official reference:
The Nanoscale by J. [...]
A private view was held on Wednesday 6th May 2009 to launch the exhibition of prints, representing the culmination of the residency.
Location: Vincent Building Atrium, Cranfield University, College Road, Bedfordshire, UK, MK43 0AL
Guests received a limited edition copy of Nano Novels. Refreshments were be provided.
The exhibition runs until September 2009. Free entry. Mon-Fri 9-5pm. Fully accessible [...]
Finally after much printers shenanigans the in Particular booklet is in my hands. It’s very lovely and contains all the texts and images from the project.
A limited edition of 1000, it’s available free of charge (just the stamps) so contact me if you would like a copy.
‘in Particular – art and science from the tiniverse’ [...]
I have just returned from presenting the work at three venues in Bangalore, India. It was really well received and despite the heat all of the talks were well attended. Time Out Bangalore ran a full page interview with me and marked the events as Critics Choice!
The talks were held at:
The Centre for Contemporary Studies [...]
Website launched!
http://www.in-particular.net
16 facts, 16 fictions, and 16 images all inspired by the nanocosm!
The 16 images were printed at bus stop poster size (1.8 x 1.2 metres) and mounted across the entire Cranfield University campus at the weekend. There will be many surprised staff and students on Monday morning – striking bright patches of colour all [...]
Nano Novels
I’ve been working up large scale images to support ‘Nano Novels’ I’m writing. V exciting. What I thought was going to be a set of cartoons about nanoparticles has transformed into a series of tiny stories that represent some form of process, reaction or material from the nanotechnology realm.
Why the switch? Because:
* conveying complex [...]
Art & Science Talks
I’ve finally got confirmations from speakers on 4 talks I’m organising at Cranfield. This part of the residency ‘deal’ was such an easy thing to write on an application form but it actually takes a lot of time and effort to find a good balance of interesting people to come and speak. [...]
Pencil on Paper – it’s war
The results from the ESEM imaging (see previous post) were interesting, but a little adrift of my expectations.
Looking at the images the gentle process of marking paper with pencil is turned into something destructive. The paper clearly putting up a fight against the sharp point of the pencil, which in [...]
Looking closer, seeing less
Yesterday I had a 2 hour session with Matt Kershaw and TP with an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) which can enable us to view up to x5000.
ESEMs focus a beam of electrons in a scanning motion over a sample placed in a sealed chamber. A vacuum is created in the chamber [...]
