About Ian Andrews

During a residency at the University of Birmingham working with award winning particle physicist Professor Kostas Nikolopoulos in 2017 Ian Andrews made transformational changes to his practice creating the project The sketchbook and the Collider which seeks to establish equivalents between the interaction of fundamental particles and the language of drawing. He has since delivered 16 exhibition/events and 40 workshops, including a solo exhibition at the Forum Exposition Bonlieu, Annecy, France in October 2022, following which Ian was invited to talk at the International Particle Physics Outreach Group 25th annual conference at CERN in Geneva. He was honoured in 2023/24 by a generous grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation in the USA and was also awarded a John Feeney Charitable Trust Fellowship from the city of Birmingham. He recently returned to the University of Birmingham as artist in residence with the Centre for Systems Modelling and Quantitative Biomedicine working with Professor Clare Anderson investigating the disruption of Circadian Rhythms and its effect on neuronal networks in the brain.
