Sara Morawetz is an Australian interdisciplinary artist working in New Mexico, US.[1] Her artwork examines the nature and histories of measurement[2] and uses the scientific method to draw out unexpected relationships between the human body and the material world.[3] In 2015 Morawetz collaborated with Dr. Michael Allison of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies to create How the Stars Stand in which the artist spent 37 days living on Mars time in a New York gallery.[4][5] Her ongoing series 61/60 (2015–) is a lifelong performance project that documents the irregular occurrences of the leap second as determined by the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service.[6] In her 2018 work Étalon the artist walked 2,100 kilometres across France[7] retracing the 18th century journey made by Jean Baptiste Joseph Delambre and Pierre Méchain that helped determine the metre as an official unit of measurement.[8] In 2022 Morawetz was a commissioned artist in the Kyneton Contemporary Art Triennial.[9][10] Her practice has been described by writer and curator Philomena Epps as "explor[ing] the exhaustive, the obsessive, the poetic and the absurd inherent within scientific activity."[11]
