Exhibit: “Into the Black Hole” Concept
Enter space, release gravity and dive Into the Black Hole. Black holes go way over our heads, both literally and figuratively, and raise questions about our own existence. They form the intersection where science ends and imagination begins. Into the Black Hole brings together contemporary visual art and science to let you experience the mysteries of the black hole.
-West Coast Curated, Oct. 2023
The night sky has guided sailors, inspired artists, nurtured religions, and excited scientists. We can now see far beyond the stars, and we know that space is teeming with things we cannot see: dark matter. A black hole cannot be observed, not even using the best telescopes, because it swallows everything in its surroundings – planets, stars and even light.
It was therefore a worldwide sensation when the first image of a black hole was presented in 2019. Professor of Astrophysics Heino Falcke from Radboud University stood at the cradle of this discovery, as a member of the international collaboration Event Horizon Telescope (EHT).
