He is known worldwide for his large scale public artworks. Jerram has a set of different narratives that make up his practice which are developing in parallel with one another. Living in the UK but working internationally since 1997, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe. Luke Jerram's multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects.
Gaia has been created in partnership with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Bluedot and the UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres. Highlights from the Collection and Usher Gallery's geological collections will be on display in the Courtyard Gallery, with a trail for children to follow in the museum.
From late night openings to Earth-lit yoga sessions, there promises to be something for everyone. After the lockdown, there has been a renewed respect for nature.Īn exciting programme of events and talks will invite visitors to enjoy this amazing artwork in a variety of ways. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the artwork may provide the viewer with a new perspective of our place on the planet a sense that societies of the Earth are all interconnected and that we have a responsibility toward one another. The artwork also acts as a mirror to major events in society. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment. The installation creates a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. In Greek Mythology 'Gaia' is the personification of the Earth. It has been recreated from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth's surface and each centimetre of the sculpture represents 21km of our planet.Ī specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. Measuring six metres in diameter, the internally-lit sphere is 2.1 million times smaller than the real Earth. The awe-inspiring art installation, called Gaia, is by the same artist who brought the moon to The Collection in 2019, Luke Jerram. Visitors will be able to gaze upon the Earth as if from space, without ever having to leave the atmosphere. Explore our planet like never before with Gaia by Luke Jerram. Get ready to see the world at The Collection Museum.
