Luke Jerram: Of Earth and Sky
Wednesday 9 July, 6:30-8pm
Arnolfini, Bristol
£10 full price, £5 concession
Arnolfini will host Bristol-based international artist Luke Jerram to discuss his new book ‘Luke Jerram: Of Earth and Sky’, published by Bristol Books.
Of Earth and Sky describes 30 projects created by international artist Luke Jerram from 2019 to 2025. As well as providing updates on the staggeringly popular Museum of the Moon and Gaia, it also features the very latest artworks including Helios, charitable creative projects from the new Jerram Foundation, and many more, most recently relating to planetary health.
A specialist in creating visual artwork which often attracts large audiences and publicity, Jerram gives an insight into how he works in collaboration with other artists, performers, scientists, anthropologists and members of the public, right around the world, to create these astonishing projects.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase, and Luke will be available for book signing.
