Circus is delighted to present this London Design Festival panel discussion exploring play and experimentation across art and science.
About
The evening of debate is inspired by Oliver’s solo show here at Circus, Imago – A dragonfly in motion: a celebration of the poetic and the mechanic; of natural history, art and engineering.
Our Circus panel includes Dr. Ben Price, Natural History Museum Senior Curator in Charge of Small Orders, Dr. Huai-Ti Lin, Imperial College Principal Investigator in Neural Engineering & Bio-robotics, Dr. Katy Barrett, Science Museum Curator of Art Collections and Oliver Smart, Artist and Puppeteer. The panel will be chaired by Dilys Maltby, Senior Partner at Circus.
Join us to explore the exhibition and discuss the seriousness of play, the joy of experimental communication and the benefits of cross-disciplinary working.
The debate at St Marylebone School, followed by drinks opposite in the Circus gallery.

Oliver’s work is created through a movement between art, biology and engineering – embracing experiments, examining the detail and playing with possibilities.
The exhibition is open until 21 November, Monday – Friday, 10am – 5pm.
