Unveiling of Conrad Shawcross's latest and most expansive rope apparatus occurs in London
In the realm of art and design, the digital platform conradshawcross.com offers a daily dose of inspiration, escapism, and captivating stories. This October, the platform has unveiled its 2025 Issue, featuring an extraordinary work by Conrad Shawcross titled The Nervous System (Umbilical).
Standing ten meters high, The Nervous System (Umbilical) is a mesmerising mechanical sculpture that traces the planets orbiting the sun, creating a spinning galaxy effect. Composed of 40 interlocking arms, the work weaves umbilical-like rope in sequences, never repeating the same pattern, mirroring the movements of our solar system.
The October 2025 Issue of the website is now available for purchase, and subscribers receive the daily digest directly to their inbox. The Issue also features an in-depth article about Shawcross's work, providing readers with a deeper understanding of this intriguing piece.
Currently on show at London's Here East until November 2025, The Nervous System (Umbilical) is a sight to behold. However, after this date, the work will transfer to the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania. Despite the transfer, the work will remain operational, leaving only a coiled pile of rope as a tangible reminder of the passage of time.
Conrad Shawcross is renowned for his mechanical sculptures that intersect physics, philosophy, and art. His creations are not just visual spectacles, but thought-provoking pieces that challenge our understanding of the world. With The Nervous System (Umbilical), Shawcross has once again succeeded in creating a piece that is both aesthetically pleasing and intellectually stimulating.
Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply looking for a unique experience, The Nervous System (Umbilical) is a must-see. The October 2025 Issue of conradshawcross.com is available on newsstands, Apple News +, and directly on the website app on Apple iOS. Don't miss out on this extraordinary journey through the cosmos.
