"Some of most amazing contemporary artists working in the realm of optical illusion have been brought together for a fantastic show called Illusion by Science Gallery in Dublin. Curated by psychologist and author Richard Wiseman and researched by magician and escapologist (!) Paul Gleeson, the exhibition explores the myriad ways the mind is tricked through sensory deception. The show includes works from Roseline de Thelin, Gregory Barsamian, Matt Kenyon, Jonty Hurwitz, and many more.
