Ouroboros is the
snake that devours its own tail, and ancient symbol of the recurrent cycle of
creativity, destruction, and renewal. CCA’s Ouroboros exhibition invites
various connections and projections: from spiral record grooves, to Robert
Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, to spiral galaxies. From revolving
turntables, to the spinning earth, to orbiting satellites. From scratched vinyl, to geological
erosion, to the dust rings of Saturn.
From decaying material, to the precision of high
technology. From Ouroboros to the Music of the Spheres.
Ouroboros curator John Calcutt, discusses the concepts behind the
exhibition with John Brown (Regius
Professor of Astronomy and Astronomer Royal for Scotland) and artist David Alker.
