Edinburgh Science Festival: The Experimenters
Artist John Brown has constructed a fictitious miniature laboratory/workshop in which to create various small-scale examples of experiments and constructions.
About Edinburgh Science Festival: The Experimenters
All Ages
Brown then uses photography to record these three-dimensional sets to play with the idea of what is real or unreal. Using mostly found and recycled materials, he aims to show how limited means, and the viewers imagination, can allow large ideas to be proposed without using up lots of the world's resources. He uses his experience of working in a busy art college and archive imagery to create a wide range of scenarios that aim to echo the energy and discovery taking place in the full-size Science Festival.
Please note that City Art Centre is a family venue and as such adults are welcome to enjoy the exhibition while their children attend workshops and activities.
