Venice this week! For the opening of the exhibition “Diagrams, a project by AMO/OMA” at the Fondazione Prada, Ca’Corner. It has been fantastic to play a small role in this project and it is even better to now see the whole show in reality, and amazing to speak to all the people involved
Followed by an amazing day in the @royalsociety.org library, looking at the Charter book (explained here to us by Rupert Baker) and the drawings by Marcello Malpighi.
🎉👏 Congratulations to @sietskefransen.bsky.social, Head of our Max Planck Research Group "Visualizing Science in Media Revolutions", who was appointed Professor by special appointment of Early Modern European Intellectual History at Radboud University in Nijmegen 🇳🇱!

The amazing #drawing course “Drawing Rome” will run again, taught by artist and architect David Dernie. It’s an amazing way to learn to see, observe and draw (and to explore #Rome) for beginners as well as experienced people.
Wonderful days in Cambridge with Visualizing the Unknown @huygensknaw.bsky.social and Visualizing Science @bhmpi.bsky.social teams to explore collections and exchange with scholars working on Visual Culture and Natural History. @Fitzwilliammuseum @hpscambridge.bsky.social @whipplemuseum.bsky.social
