Description

About the Book

Secrets of Creation documents a week-long collaborative residency between artist Conrad Shawcross and mathematician Matthew Watkins, curated by Robin Mackay of Urbanomic. The book captures a lively interdisciplinary exchange on the use—and misuse—of scientific and mathematical concepts in artistic practices. Through sketches, discussions, and visual experiments, the participants traverse boundaries between formal logic and aesthetic intuition, ultimately producing an assemblage that challenges traditional categories. This book offers rare insight into the creative process across disciplines and invites reflection on how knowledge is visualised and enacted.

Printed in the UK by Urbanomic in partnership with The MIT Press. Rare edition, hard to find outside the UK.

Note: This copy shows minor shelfwear with slightly bent corners and light scuffing on the cover (see photos). Content is unaffected. Priced accordingly.
