Pioneer Works Program Director Ella Marder in conversation with Brazilian artist Cadu plus an interview of astrophysicist Janna Levin by Matthew Putman, Pioneer Works Director of Sciences and CEO of Nanotronics Imaging. Not a surprise to find discussion mashups of black holes and pencil drawings at PW on any day.
Cadu (Carlos Eduardo Felix da Costa) is an artist and educator who is pursuing postdoctoral research at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and teaching as a professor at the School of Visual Arts of Parque Lage (Rio de Janeiro). Cadu’s practice deals with the creation of systems, machines, installations, painting, drawings and sculptures that incorporate elements of nature to push the boundaries of the relationship between man and landscape. These systems are also used to explore the area of sonic arts.
