On August 6 at 4 pm, we look forward to welcoming you to the discussion Art and science: a match looking for heaven which will take place at the PAiR residency in Pāvilosta.

“Interdisciplinary” has now been a buzzword for long enough in order to evaluate its merits. The intersection and cooperation between art and science has been a fruitful endeavour, but it certainly has more potential. This discussion will try to examine and identify the best (and worst) approaches in using science in art (and vice versa) and determine what we can do to facilitate those. Three current residents of the PAiR Residency (Voldemārs Johansons, Kristīne Krauze-Slucka, Lidija Zaneripa) all work heavily in the intersection between art and science, and prof. Antoine Reserbat-Plantey will provide a perspective of a scientist who has addressed these issues.

Participants: Kristīne Krauze – Slucka (LV), Lidija Zaneripa (LV), Antoine Reserbat-Plantey (FR), Voldemārs Johansons (LV)

Moderator: Helmuts Caune (LV)

The discussion will also take place on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vv.foundation/

 

The discussion will be in English.
The discussion is supported by: VKKF and Kurzeme Cultural Programme 2022
