What is this thing called materials research?
Sir William Bragg Building, University of Leeds.
1st August 2023 – present dayArtist Deborah Gardner and Eirini
Boukla and scientist Elizabeth Willneff came
together to question how artists and scientists
are equally compelled to study and be absorbed
with material idiosyncrasies, engaging with ‘stuff’
and thinking ‘through’materials.
This group of objects, test pieces and material
samples on exhibition in the Bragg building are
displayed together in no order, with the aim of
highlighting how the sciences and arts come
into a relational conversation about developing
ideas, methods and processes through an
exchange of information.
