Exhibition 'Into the Black Hole' in Valkhof Museum
Into the Black Hole takes you on a journey to a black hole. From the Earth, past the stars and across the cosmos, you will follow different routes towards this phenomenon. How does a black hole come into existence? And what role do black holes play in the universe and in our existence? Some questions can be answered by science, for others we switch off the rational view and start using our imagination. In the exhibition, artists and scientists of different generations and from various cultures will show how knowledge and understanding of black holes may take different forms.
Artworks by Annette S. Lee and Erik Odijk reveal that interpreting the cosmos is of all times and cultures. Inspired by African cosmologies, Black Quantum Futurism takes a new look at black holes, challenging the western scientific view. In the immersive and explosive installation of Marshmallow Laser Feast, you will experience a black hole up close.
The exhibition is made in collaboration with students from Radboud University.
