In conjunction with her current solo exhibition, Warped Side, Lia Halloran and Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist Kip Thorne are joined by curator and writer Jesse Damiani to discuss their 13-year collaborative odyssey which resulted in The Warped Side of Our Universe — An Odyssey Through Black Holes, Wormholes, Time Travel, and Gravitational Waves. The book, published by Norton/Liveright and released this past October, features Thorne’s poetry and Halloran’s original art to create a new type of book that is a “shape-shifting pageant of art, science, and poetry” and doubles as a vehicle for communicating major scientific breakthroughs of our time.
The paintings presented in this exhibition are a cumulation of the friendship and collaboration between Halloran and Thorne to mobilize science, art, and poetry to explore aspects of the universe that many people are curious about: black holes, wormholes, and other strange phenomena. The exhibition features a selection of paintings published in the book alongside new, larger-scaled works representing an expanded view of each chapter in the book.
Following the talk Halloran and Thorne will sign copies of their book, The Warped Side of Our Universe. The gallery will have limited copies of the book available for purchase, which you can preorder by contacting the gallery. You can also purchase it through Amazon and other fine booksellers and bring it with you.
