RADICAL NATURE
The beauty and wonder of nature have provided inspiration for artists and architects for centuries. Since the 1960s, the increasingly evident degradation of the natural world and the effects of climate change have brought a new urgency to their responses. Radical Nature at the barbican is the first exhibition to bring together key figures across different generations who have created utopian works and inspiring solutions for our ever-changing planet.

... OTHER EMERGENT SYSTEMS
Tyson’s work can be seen as an ongoing investigation into the question of how and why things come into being. Many of them investigate the physical forms and systems found within the natural world; others examine the effects of mankind on the environment, and the ensuing man-made forms and systems.
