Serena Korda

Wednesday, 9 September 2009 - Saturday, 19 September 2009

Museum 52, 52 Redchurch Street, Bethnal Green, E2 7DP

Exhibitions: , Art, Gallery

How Much: Free!
Luke Howard (1772-1864) was a British manufacturing chemist and amateur meteorologist best known today for coming up with the naming system for clouds that we still use to this day.

He was a prominent member of the Askesian Society, a group of scientists who met regularly to talk about their latest theories and take laughing gas. In his day, Howard was a great inspiration for the likes of Goethe, Shelley, Constable and Ruskin.

And now he provides the starting point for new work by contemporary artist Serena Korda. Her latest show at Museum 52 includes all manner of different works, from theatre design to literature and meteorology. Should be cirrus-ly brilliant. Sorry...

Until 19.09.09.
