Crawford Art Gallery: When art and science collide for an exhibition of Invisible Light
Denis Connolly and Anne Cleary, the artists who work under the Cleary Connolly moniker.
Why is your banana making music? Why, because it’s radioactive, of course. No, this is not Dadaist surrealism. It’s STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and maths).
While artists usually work with light within the visible colour spectrum, Anne Cleary and Denis Connolly have applied their distinctive blend of art and science to exploring the invisible light beyond our perception.
Covid restrictions ensured the realisation of their project was unable to complete its run at the Crawford Art Gallery in Cork, but online talks and engagement with schools have formed part of e 'Learn and Explore' component that has kept the exhibition in the public eye.
