Artists from all over the world including the UK and the USA came to Oxford University on Monday 12th October for the Launch of the Steampunk Art Exhibition curated by designer and exhibitor, Art Donovan. The much anticipated event was the greatest assembly of Steampunk artists in the world.
Jos and Hannie De Vink from the Netherlands, Eric and Sarah Freitas from the US, Stephane Halleux from Belgium, Vianney Halter from Switzerland accompanied by Phillpe Mariez and Bertrand, James Richardson Brown and Azzy (UK), Ian "Herr Doktor" Crichton and Lady Jane (UK), Thomas D. Willeford (US) and Amanda Scrivener from the UK are the many artists exhibiting at the event until February 2010.
Curator Art Donovan said "I promise you that the art in this show is nothing like you have ever seen. The Opening Day of the show and the Steampunk Lecture on Tuesday evening had enjoyed a full-capacity crowd in attendance at the Museum. (As a personal observation, if I may: I'd given my curator's lecture in the main Museum hall. As I looked out toward the crowd, directly in front of my vision on the far opposite wall, was displayed Albert Einstein's original blackboard with his hand written, chalk equations from his lecture at the Museum. The word, "honored" is sorely inadequate to describe the feeling, as one could only imagine. Oh, no pressure there , Mate :)"
