Artists in Science Labs - mixing the heterogeneous genes of artistic and scientific creativity

AV ČR, Národní 3, Praha 1

Works by Czech artists who took residencies in 2007 in science labs as part of a project supported by the Czech Ministry of Culture. The goal was to explore the territory and bridge the gap between gallery and laboratory, artistic representation and technical visualization, between the scientific emphasis on discovering the reality and the artistic insistence on re-creating and transforming it. The Czech artists in the exhibition are accompanied by their colleagues from Portugal and Singapore who took part and organize similar programs abroad. During the festival they will meet and discuss their experiences of art and science collaborations and also meet the Czech scientists to discuss future cooperation.
