Featuring new work by Dianne Bos, Joe Kelly and John Noestheden, Time & Space includes artists who address the processes for interpreting astronomical data and the representation of these methods from historical to contemporary modes. For centuries, scientists have created technology for gathering information not visible to the human eye and for rendering this information visible and comprehensible. The artists in Time & Space take their own approach to exploring these processes. Noestheden explores his interest in physics through several art forms including sculpture and performance. Time & Space includes his two-dimensional work addressing the history of scientific interpretation of the night sky and the shifts in representation of astronomical data as astronomers developed their knowledge over the centuries. Bos is also an avid astronomer who works with both historical and contemporary astronomical imagery. Since 2000, she has been producing pinhole photographs which resemble the images of celestial bodies that are generated by high technology imaging devices. Kelly's installation Suite for M. Domestica was created for Time & Space and it functions as a kind of 'science centre' for the exhibition. Working in film and video as well as frequently collaborating with composers, Kelly's practice foregrounds the mechanics of technology.
