Black holes, dark matter, gravity, time, and motion captivate both physicists and artists, highlighting the growing connection between art and science in contemporary culture. The influence of physics on modern art, design, and architecture is increasingly explored. Curated by Ariane Koek, founder of Arts at CERN, the exhibition "Entangle – Physics and the Artistic Imagination" and its catalog showcase works by fourteen contemporary artists inspired by physics and natural phenomena. This groundbreaking publication includes interviews with the artists and physicists, revealing diverse perspectives. Featured artists include Julius von Bismarck, Julian Charrière, Sou Fujimoto, Iris van Herpen, Ryoji Ikeda, William Kentridge, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Goshka Macuga, Davide Quayola, Solveig Settemsdal, Sarah Sze, Keith Tyson, Jorinde Voigt, and Carey Young. The exhibition ran from November 16, 2018, to April 14, 2019, at Bildmuseet Umeå. Julian Charrière's work merges environmental science with cultural history through performance, sculpture, and photography, often rooted in fieldwork. William Kentridge, a notable figure in contemporary art, has a rich history of exhibitions and accolades, while Jorinde Voigt's drawings create a unique semantic code, revealing the interconnectedness of fundamental concepts. Julius von Bismarck, educated in visual communications, brings a diverse background to his artistic practice.
