A LARGE-SCALE new artwork by architect Charles Jencks will be unveiled at his Crawick Multiverse in Dumfries and Galloway this weekend.
The reveal coincides with the Cosmic Collisions event, which includes talks by space scientists, architects and artists in nearby Sanquhar on Friday and Saturday.
Visitors can make their own origami universe, try a Galaxy Making Machine and use a virtual reality headset to witness the evolution of a cosmos at a free exhibition.
Activities at Crawick Multiverse, which included performance art based on Norse myth, are ticketed separately from the talks and Jencks, Cosmic Collisions organiser and creator of the astronomy-themed Multiverse artland, said: “The whole event will be a wonderful mix of art and science with lots to see, do and enjoy including a superb and colourful performance.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
