Most recently, Halloran participated in artist residencies at Pioneer Works in New York (where Levin is the director of science) and Levin was a contributor to Halloran\u2019s book that was tied to her earlier project \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.liahalloran.com\/your-body-is-a-space-that-sees\">Your Body is a Space That Sees<\/a>\u2019 tracing the lineage of female astronomers.<\/p>\n<p>The two met at a dinner party for Stephen Hawking at Kip Thorne&#8217;s home. Halloran thought that was the pinnacle, she had met all the scientists she ever needed to meet, but then she was introduced to Levin. They were immediately bonded, taking about creativity in art and science connections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor this book the conversations started when I was in New York in February for an opening I had at the Simons Foundation and Janna and I ended up brainstorming and drawing all over cocktail napkins about the idea of recreating one of those old science manuals, something you would keep in your back pocket,\u201d said Halloran.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12998\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12998\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-12998\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12998\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2.jpg 1511w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2-196x300.jpg 196w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2-669x1024.jpg 669w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2-768x1176.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2-1003x1536.jpg 1003w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2020\/12\/black-hole-2-1338x2048.jpg 1338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12998\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Hole Survival Guide by Lia Halloran.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The scale of Black Hole Survival Guide is just 5&#215;7 inches. Halloran wanted the artwork to read like old diagram models and looked at vintage field manuals for inspiration. \u201cI love the playfulness of the size [and] I tried to tie [that] into the artwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Halloran\u2019s illustrations were driven by Levin\u2019s text. Once the outline was ready, the two collaborated on what sections could use an image to forward the ideas described.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to pick a favorite Halloran said, \u201cI think I\u2019m most drawn to the images that have both the experience of space and black holes but also contain the diagrammatic old school &#8216;field guide&#8217; design language. These drawings are so different from what I usually make in my studio since they are essentially simple diagrams. It was especially fun to draw the small floating astronauts and come up with different ways they\u2019d float around or interact with the space, so the drawings that have the relation of human scale paired with a dooming black hole or event horizon are also some of my favorites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Spring 2021, Halloran will mount an exhibition of the artwork at Pioneer Works in New York.<\/p>\n<p>As the <span class=\"replace\">Director of Painting and Drawing at Chapman University Halloran teaches courses that look at how creativity and problem solving can be the point of intersection for art and science, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catalog.chapman.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=19&amp;poid=3522&amp;returnto=897\">Concepts in Contemporary Art: The Origins of Art and Science and Concepts in Contemporary Art: Intersection of Art and Science<\/a>, which, according to Halloran, are two of her favorite courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Black Hole Survival Guide, written by astrophysicist Janna Levin and illustrated by Lia Halloran (Associate Professor of Art in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":12996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"custom_author_name":"","chapman_pin_hero_slider":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[36,4,5,2631],"tags":[59,2494,61,2939],"class_list":["post-12995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-art","category-faculty-awards","category-news","category-wilkinson-college","tag-art-department","tag-faculty-books","tag-lia-halloran","tag-painting-and-drawing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
