CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS: CONTEMPORARY ART AND BIOLOGICAL TIME – GROUP SHOW

THE LEWIS GLUCKSMAN GALLERY, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CORK, IRELANDFrom 01/08/2019 to 03/11/2019

All life on earth – humans, other animals, plants and even bacteria – carry out biological processes to a 24-hour pattern of activity that mirrors the length of the earth day. Such processes are said to be subject to certain rhythms as they oscillate at different points during the 24-hour cycle, always following the same pattern of activity. Circadian Rhythms presents the work of Irish and international artists who explore these invisible forces through reflections on time, the cadence of working life, sleeping patterns, as well as through the impact of modern technologies that disrupt the natural world.
