Greetings, Museum-L colleagues --

I'm interested in exploring the feasibility of traveling a new project, which is called WORLDS -- an exhibition of contemporary art by a small ensemble of international artists and some historical astronomers.

This might be of interest to museums/galleries whose mission can embrace both contemporary art and the sciences. It is also an exhibition that presents an alternative model for communicating science and the beauty of rationality to public audiences.

Please take a look at the short WORLDS installation video, at:
http://www.williamsongallery.net/worldsvideo

I'm curious to know if there might be potential interest — but haven't worked out any of the details. In some respects it would be a simple show to travel, with minimal shipping costs (most of the content is in digital video form, "shipped" free electronically) and only a few lenders, but it requires five video projectors that would probably not travel with the show, and possibly some construction of a couple of walls.

From the press release:

"SCIENCE, so the stereotype goes, seeks to reduce the world to nothing more than a set of facts – a cliche meant to imply pejoratively that science divests reality of its grace.  Not so -- it uses facts to unveil and probe the deepest mysteries of existence.  Science has a popular patina of factual certainty, but beneath that luster its process consists of foraging and groping, being messy, and tentative.  Science is the new art."

Many thanks, and best to all --
