Now I have to go see this:

“The knowledge content of scientific theories has been interpreted as restricted to the ability to give predictions. In this way, in my opinion, we lose sight of science’s ability to subvert and widen our vision of the world.”
- Carlo Rovelli, “Anaximander and the birth of science”.

“Map 7 & 8. The la Motte-Husson Portolan (Mayenne, France, 17th Century)
If, as Arthur Robinson wrote in his Elements of Cartography, “maps are to be looked at while charts are to be worked on”, then portolans are the quintessential charts, navigational guides that do not wrestle with other aspects of representation. The Margrave was ecstatic when he acquired the la Motte-Husson Portolan, believing that it would finally allow him to contribute to the defense of the nation. Over time a confusing series representing the same location emerged, with shifting sailing directions. Exhaustive archival investigation revealed that the Baglion de la Dufferie family had the series of prints made to mark the different routes used by the toy sailboats of the Dauphin (the future Louis XIII) to cross the moat of their home in Mayenne, the Chateau de la Motte-Husson. This discovery made thirty years after the series was acquired precipitated a severe depression – it was the reason von Willebrand chose to recuperate in the Kaiserslautern spa where he ultimately expired.”

The American Museum of Natural History is one of my favourite places - it was great to visit again, crowds & all. When we lived in New York, I was a volunteer at the museum - I recommend the program to anyone living in the city (you don't have to be a scientist, in my group there was everything from lawyers to bodega owners).

"Jim Gagnon American In the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1958-59
Gelatin silver print
Gift of the artist, 1960 (60.506.7)
The photographer Jim Gagnon was an astute observer of a museum visitor's physical condition as they became absorbed in artworks. At a time when The Met forbade cameras in the galleries, Gagnon surreptitiously followed museum goers and captured their meanderings, pauses, and poses."
From Madalena Parreira's relief etchings on copper (1999-2006).

'My father's advice when I left Canada for New York was simple: "Never underestimate the other person's insecurity." This was excellent counsel, and what trouble I would get into came mostly from forgetting it.'

"Oppenheimer’s son Peter refused a formal interview, so Sherwin brought his family to the Pecos Wilderness near Santa Fe, saddled up a horse and rode to the Oppenheimers’ rustic cabin, wrangling a chance to talk to the scientist’s son as the two men built a fence. “Marty never thought he was a great interviewer,” said Susan Sherwin, who accompanied him on many research trips, and survives him. But he had a knack for connecting with people.

"part of RAQQA CERAMICS
Mohamad Hafez born Syria, 1984, lives America
Damascene Athan, 7, 2017
Mixed media, plaster, pigment, found objects, audio recording
Gift of the Barjeel Art Foundation, 2018.40a-b
Although Syria was a safe haven for Circassian refugees from Russia in the late nineteenth century, with the start of the civil war in 2011, Syrians fled the country to seek refuge elsewhere. In this work, Mohamad Hafez draws attention to Damascus, the capital of Syria and his hometown until the civil war began. An audio recording made by the artist during his last visit before the crisis captures the peaceful sounds of the city, including a call to prayer (athan) from the city's Great Mosque, children playing, and people conversing in a café. Hafez repurposed small objects in an ornate frame that is similar to those he was familiar with from his life in Syria. A surveillance camera and a secret service vehicle parked in front of houses draw attention to the danger looming over the city and the tensions between civilians and the Syrian regime.
• Provenance: Gift of the Barjeel Art Foundation, 2018."
