Landfall questions our perception of place within the interwoven narratives of science and politics. It is a boundary in flux between the constant movement of waves and the sudden jolt when gravity shakes our foundations.
[1] Quantum systems exist in superpositions (waveforms), however when a measurement is made, the wave function collapses - from an observer's perspective - to just one of the basis states, and the property being measured uniquely acquires a particular state. Everett didn’t agree that measurement causes quantum matter to stop behaving in multiple forms. Instead, he argued that observation creates a split in the universe and therefore all possible outcomes are physically realised.
[2] Quantum particles have an intrinsic angular momentum component known as ‘spin’, (i.e. electrons are either ½ positive or ½ negative spin)
The exhibition runs 30 June Wed - Sat, 12 - 6pm until 6 August 2022

DAVID RICKARD
David Rickard is a New Zealand born artist who lives and works in London, UK. Following a degree in architecture he went on to study art at Accademia di Brera in Milan and Central Saint Martins in London. His original studies in architecture have had a lasting impact on his art practice. Through a process-based practice his works investigate the inherent material properties of our surrounding environment and the spatial relationships between people, objects and architecture.
Constantly moving along a fine line between sculpture and performance, art and physics, Rickard’s work engages the viewer as an active player. Once the artist has established a trajectory, a combination of necessity and chance takes place, making the ordinary extraordinary and generating new readings of our surroundings.
