"Black Hole Survival Guide" by Janna Levin (Signed) — $40.00
At Black Cube we aim to demystify art and make it more accessible by producing site-specific art. And what more mysterious space is there than, well, space?
That's where astrophysicist Janna Levin's Black Hole Survival Guide comes in, exploring the history and science of perhaps the most mysterious natural phenomena: black holes. Known for her ability to make scientific phenomena accessible and engaging, Levin traces the ways in which black holes have continually challenged our perceptions of reality and possibility.
This petite book features beautiful illustrations by Lia Halloran, it's easy for an armchair astronomer to float through Levin's universe. Plus, each copy is specially signed by the author!
“Beguiling. . .Levin writes authoritatively and evocatively with a warm, poetic voice. . .The 23 paintings that Halloran made to be interspersed among its pages add to the imagination-stirring allure. . .There are lighter parts too, and the surreality at play in the mix of the writing and the art gives Black Hole Survival Guide an idiosyncratic spirit.” —Art News
