IT may be the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, and in Liverpool's run up to Capital of Culture, the designated year Of The Sea.
But in the widest possible context, 2005 is also Einstein Year, marking the life and achievements of the scientist who changed the way we view the world.
Fittingly, in the work of the young sculptor Conrad Shawcross, 28, art is fused with science, drawing upon cosmology, quantum mechanics and musical theory.
One of the sculptures here, Space Trumpet, was inspired by a visit to the microwave radio telescope in New Jersey.
In 1963, there were sensational headlines when this telescope picked up what was described as the "background noise" coming at us from all directions in outer space, and which was left over from the birth of the universe.
