Weekly planner: Quantum physics in art and design, a short film festival and a jazz gala
From an exhibition that explores one of the most complex ideas in physics to a short film festival and an evening of jazz, the week ahead is packed with art and culture events
Making complex ideas accessible
The Science Gallery Bengaluru has opened a new exhibition season, Quantum, built “around not knowing”. The year-long showcase features 34 works of science, art and design that explore one of the most complex ideas in physics. The immersive interdisciplinary creations in Quantum "turn superposition, entanglement, tunnelling and the observer effect, the strange fact that observation changes outcomes, into things visitors can walk into, touch and argue about, not just read.” Some of highlights include Observer Effect, an interpretation of the double-slit experiment, Quantum Jungle that visualises quantum behaviour through light and touch, and Women in Quantum Physics that shines the spotlight on physicists the field has often left out of the frame. The show, which opened on 8 August, is on view for a year at the Science Gallery Bengaluru, Bellary Road, Wednesday to Thursday 10 am to 6 pm, Friday to Sunday 10 am to 8 pm.

A new art space
Contemporary art gallery KYNKYNY has expanded its footprint by opening a new space in Mumbai’s Hornimal Circle. This is an addition to its existing outpost in Bengaluru. The gallery has opened with a group exhibition, The Urban Biome, featuring artists such as Krisha Bhuva, Hemanth Kumar Mavuri, Simran Yagyik and Nivedita Shinde. Curated by Vivek Radhakrishnan, the show explores relationships between humans and the environments that they inhabit. “Things rarely exist in isolation. Objects gather around other objects, spaces acquire particular rhythms, and patterns emerge through acts of intention, neglect, efficiency, convenience or chance,” states the curatorial note. The exhibition is on view till 4 September, 11 am to 6 pm (closed on Sunday and public holidays).
