—— Liquid mercury, glowing uranium, or sinister arsenic – which element stirs you up? How much nickel does an average body contain? What element will you bring to the periodic table? Science Gallery’s summer exhibition in 2011 – ELEMENTS – had something for everyone, from hands-on experiments for the kids to world renowned artworks, and intriguing artifacts celebrating the iconic periodic table.

Created with the support of the School of Chemistry at Trinity College Dublin on the occasion of their Tercentenary, VISCERAL ELEMENTS featured work relating to selected elements, including an iron artwork by Antony Gormley, a drawing made from stretched lead bullets by Cornelia Parker, and arsenic wallpaper by William Morris. Local artists including Will St Leger and Gavin Beattie were commissioned to create MEMORY LAB their own limited edition print, each representing a different element from the periodic table. —— To top it all off, visitors were able to contribute to Bring Your Own Element – the world’s first crowd sourced periodic table.

—— The 7 billion people currently occupying this planet rely on exactly the same 1% of available freshwater as every previous generation, but how can our planet’s natural systems sustain this and what does this tension mean for our future? Will the next global conflict be over water resources? Should water be treated as a commodity, or as a public good, and how should it be managed?

Water is both disposable and sacred, a source of healing and a source of conflict. Science Gallery’s final exhibition VISCERAL in 2011, SURFACE TENSION: The Future of Water, gathered work by artists, designers, engineers and scientists that explored the future of water, playing on its physical properties, its role in politics and economics, and ways in which it may be harnessed, cleaned, and MEMORY LAB distributed. —— Visitors to the exhibition were invited to bring a water sample from their locality, participate in the exhibits, join the discussion and explore their own water footprint.

—— Following a successful 2010 run in Dublin that attracted over 60,000 visitors, Science Gallery’s BIORHYTHM opened in New York in June 2011. Offering New York audiences a chance to experience music and sounds through a range of interactive installations and experiments, BIORHYTHM was exhibited at the Eyebeam Art+Technology Center in Chelsea as the first exhibition ever invited to be part of the World Science Festival.

The exhibition received significant international media attention, featuring in reports by ABC, NBC, Reuters and NY1 news channels, and in articles by the New York Times, Washington Times, and Huffington Post. The WIRED Underwire blog described the show as “an eye-popping bonanza of beats and rhythm”. —— Supported by Culture Ireland, the University of Dublin Fund and the Cordover Family Foundation, BIORHYTHM in New York was also an opportunity to showcase the work selected by a unique group of curators, and create transatlantic connections between artists, scientists, musicians and engineers involved in the show. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to BIORHYTHM, Science Gallery is planning to return to New York in 2012 with SURFACE TENSION: The Future of Water.
