These 3 episodes are based on an exhibition, COSMOLOGICAL ELEMENTS, co-curated by Claudia Schnugg and Iris Long. The show took place at the Fosun foundation in Shanghai from December, 2022 until February, 2023. Many were not able to attend, so we are hosting this series to highlight the excellent works of artists who participated. Sessions in the Asia time zone will mirror these three.

From the micro scale to macro scale, the exhibition represents the relationship between cosmic space and human life from three unfolding chapters: “Hidden Dimension,” “Cosmic Ecology,” and “Floating Civilizations.” This exhibition discusses the idea of cosmological elements through several lenses: the lens of science that questions what are the elements that constitute objects in cosmos and the space in-between, elements that can also become central to study the universe and life on planet Earth, and furthermore, cultural and societal elements that constitute our perception of the universe, visions and desires.  

With each episode addressing one of the three chapters, the curators will offer a visual tour to the show with artists in the respective chapter joining the conversation. In addition to narrating the exhibition chapters, the sessions also anticipate to open up a broader discussion on how art and cosmology can intersect and interact, to probe the source of humanity’s appreciation and reverence for space and the drivers behind the visual imagination of and scientific research into deep space.
