Bye Bye Blackboard

16 April – 18 September 2005

This exhibition marks the centenary of the Special Theory of Relativity by inviting a number of well-known people in Britain today to chalk on blackboards the same size as Einstein’s. All these guest blackboards have been prepared in the early months of 2005. The result is an exhibition about science, art, celebrity and nostalgia. The blackboard is fast disappearing from meetings, classes and lectures: ‘bye-bye blackboard’.

Bye Bye Blackboard … from Einstein and others

Science, art, celebrity and nostalgia in blackboards old and new.
