Ticketed. Included in the entrance price to the Cosmos at the Castle, an interactive science exhibition at CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory
Brought to you by the CuriousCity programme of science and art events!
For this exhibition, David Upton has drawn for inspiration on the astronomical and socialist histories of Cork City focusing on the plough constellation as a symbol which at once embodies both the celestial and the earthly. In using archival material, photography, video and cast iron and aluminium sculpture, David mixes themes of the local with the cosmic. Through a recent engagement with an outdated iron casting process at the National Sculpture Factory and use of images taken with CIT Blackrock Castle Observatory’s optical telescope, metaphors are made to the primal processes of creation and destruction.
