Andrew Stones, 3-year NESTA Fellowship
August 2001 - 2004In 2001 Andrew Stones was awarded a 3-year NESTA Fellowship enabling him to visit science sites and establishments, collecting video, audio and digital photographs for a new body of work. This process included short residencies at Arecibo Radio Observatory (Puerto Rico); and Big Bear Solar Observatory (California); and visits to CERN (Switzerland). The NESTA Fellowship has helped him to sustain an already established interest in the historical narratives of science, taking him to Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, and the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
Research supported by the Fellowship has made the following works possible:
Outside Inside 2004, an artist's book/monograph published by Film and Video Umbrella
Atlas 2004, a multi-channel video/audio installation exhibited in London and Copenhagen
Tell Us Everything 2003, an 8-channel audio installation for the Faraday Museum at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, London
