Curious Minds – ArtScience Monthly #18
Tuesday, September 21 2021, 7 pm CEST
About this Event
What happens when two different minds interconnect and get to think about how they think? The ArtScience Monthly is about putting our curiosity into action and learning from one another via collective exchanges.
On September 21, we’ll navigate material expressions of watery environments through membrane structures, molecular flows of exchange, and phenomenological transformation. Membranes are permeable structures open to a multiplicity of interactions. The event explores a membrane methodology to facilitate a porous exchange between artistic practices and scientific knowledge. We’ll have the pleasure of being joined by Dominique Savitri Bonarjee and Swati Aggarwal. Dominique Savitri Bonarjee is a visual artist and doctoral researcher at Goldsmiths University of London, whose work centres around liquid choreographies, embodiment practices, spiritual traditions, and the production of knowledge. Swati Aggarwal is a structural biologist working with ESS’s Neutron Instrument Division to extract and convert membrane proteins into crystals in order to understand the basic biological functioning of the human body or plants.
This event has been curated by our Curious Mind members Ashley Middleton and Georgia Perkins. Through their combined interests into aquatic and quantum ecologies, Ashley and Georgia have collaborated on multiple projects including the virtual residency ‘The Body in Algorithms’.
About the ArtScience Monthly
Every third Tuesday of the month, we invite you to join in these open and informal evenings, where we create playful situations for interactions with other participants. We share thoughts, practice open-mindedness and create new bonds, while imagining alternative futures by crossing perspectives beyond disciplinary boundaries. Besides, each session starts with impulse talks by an artist and a scientist; just enough to get inspired and start off an exchange!
These events are organized by STATE Studio in the framework of Curious Minds: a community program that aims to explore new forms of collective thinking, learning and acting at the intersection of art and science. STATE Studio is a public gallery, showroom and event space in central Berlin. It’s a place for creative synergies between science, art, and innovation to discover and explore the breakthrough developments that shape our future.
