Norton & Company, 2014)

Science and Culture: Sculptures reproduce protein structures

“In Julian Voss-Andreae’s recent work ‘Synergy,’ angular strands of stainless steel tubing cluster together, extending into the air like a metallic Lego braid. ‘Synergy,’ which Voss-Andreae says is ‘techy, but sensual,’ is an homage to collagen, our body’s most abundant protein.” (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (July 8, 2014)

Beyond wonder

“In 1999, Julian Voss-Andreae was part of a team that showed C60 molecules could exhibit wave– particle duality, making buckyballs the most massive particles that wave behaviour has been observed for. For the artist, based in Portland, Oregon in the US, working in the University of Vienna lab of Wolf Prize winning Austrian physicist Anton Zeilinger was ‘incredible’.” (Chemistry World, July 2014)

Quantumobjecten

Visualizing the Invisible

“In 2014 Voss-Andreae produced Spannungsfeld […]. But here he goes beyond Quantum Man with its single object to a male and a female, a set of dualities, suggesting positive and negative charge, love and hate. Like yin and yang they cannot exist without each other and together make up a whole. They are complementary. Spannungsfeld is a meditation on Eastern religion, which parallels abstruse concepts in physics. […]” (Website to Colliding Worlds by Arthur I. Miller, 2014)

Spannungsfeld

Quantum Health Magazine (February 2010)

Artful Quandry

“Julian Voss-Andreae’s new sculpture at the Bravern, Quantum Man, is beautiful to look at, but that’s not the point. The idea of the piece is to convey one of the most bewildering ideas in modern physics: that nothing is really the way it looks, that all matter can be seen as a bunch of particles or as a collection of waves. It cannot possibly be both, yet somehow it is. […]” (City Arts Seattle Magazine, February 25, 2010)

Protein Sculptures for the People

“Many of us have marveled at a two-dimensional representation of a protein in a book or on the computer screen. We may have even been awed at a three-dimensional recreation of such a structure. Julian Voss-Andreae takes the beauty of these molecules a step further, producing protein sculptures that combine the natural beauty of the structures with his own personal, artistic touch. He is uniquely able to combine his talents as an artist, naturalist and physicist to create works of art for the public. […]” (AWIS Magazine, Spring 2008)

The crucible: Art inspired by science should be more than just a pretty picture

“Voss-Andreae’s work is different, because it looks to convey some of the underlying scientific principles of the subject matter, even to viewers who know nothing about them. That’s what good ‘sciart’ does: rather than seeking to educate, it presents some of the textures of science in a way that nudges the mind and enlivens the senses. […]” (Chemistry World, March 2008)
