Engineer, philosopher, roboticist: inside the fine-tuned mind of Conrad Shawcross. By Elly Parsons
From halcyon days spent in the London Science Museum’s maths gallery, to under the hood of his first Leyland Sherpa van, we’re about to journey deep into the mind of Conrad Shawcross. The London-based artist is the subject of Pyschogeometries, a new book published by his gallery, Victoria Miro, and arts magazineElephant, that investigates his practice photographically, illustratively, and through a series of writings. It’s the first book of its kind that goes into such edifying detail about the artist’s work to date.
What strikes you immediately when reading it: Shawcross’ practice is remarkably complex. Hang from every word as he jumps from reference to reference, from the philosophy of science, to childrens’ toys, Greek mythology, Renaissance architecture and Buckminster Fuller…
