WHEN ART AND SCIENCE COLLIDE
Featuring over 120 artworks, scientific artefacts and manuscripts, Artscience Museum’s The Universe and Art exhibition melds Eastern and Western philosophies, ancient and contemporary art, science and religion to explore humanity’s fascination with the universe and what lies beyond. Jointly curated by Mori Art Museum and Artscience Museum, the exhibit starts with sacred, religious artefacts linked to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, and continues with masterworks by the most renowned Renaissance astronomers, Galileo, Kepler, Newton and Copernicus – on show for the first time in Singapore. Additionally, viewers can expect to see contemporary artworks by Björn Dahlem, Mariko Mori, Pierre Huyghe, Andreas Gursky, Wolfgang Tillmans and Hiroshi Sugimoto that explore new scientific thinking. See it through July 2017. marinabaysands.com/museum
