Now that my brain is settling down from all the ideas traded at Dialogues last week, I thought I'd pass on stuff that has appeared in the wider world about some of the themes people are engaged with.
I've mentioned the BBC World Service programme The Forum before, and the podcast from March 19 is still available with Professor Brian Greene talking about multiverses and Finnish artist Oron Catts who "is the director of SymbioticA, the Centre of Excellence in Biological Arts, within the School of Anatomy and Human Biology, The University of Western Australia". (See a previous post about the Visceral exhibition in Dublin a few weeks ago).
Another edition that you can still listen to is February 19th follow the link to see examples of the work by Kenyan, New York based artist Wangechi Mutu. "Her portraits of fantastical women, include anatomical drawings of cancerous tumours that transform the terrible into the beautiful".
And of course the Wellcome collection's new exhibition Dirt has just opened which includes some specially commissioned artworks.
If you'd like to contribute to this NASN blog, please get int touch with Paul Digby or Hondartza Fraga at contact@northernartsandscience.com for the details.
