Event details
This workshop brings together artists, scientists and social scientists to share practice, to discuss the way science is represented in art, the ways in which art draws on science for inspiration, and how each explores and makes sense of our culture, communities and the natural world. The aim of 'Stocks and docks' is to break down some of the barriers between disciplines and to de-mystify some academic and artistic endeavour.
The workshops are an opportunity for the public to engage with artists and academics, with a range of disciplines and artistic media represented. The speakers talk about their practice with whatever examples and representation they choose, throwing up some interesting contrasts. The workshops create their own momentum, with each new discussion building on the last and contributing to the overall theme.
