Be Smart About Art will visit Deconstructing Patterns, Art + Science in Conversation at the Francis Crick Institute. The Crick is a new type of biomedical research institute. The exhibition provides a glimpse into three intricate developmental patterns studied at the Crick.
About
Deconstructing Patterns is the result of three unique artist commissions, which were developed through extensive conversations and close collaborations with Crick researchers. Bryony Benge-Abbott, Public Engagement Manager (Exhibitions) will talk about the exhibition, it’s curation and the process of creative collaboration for the artists and scientists. Rosie Waldron, Events Programme Manager will provide insight into the Crick’s events programme including art-science workshops.
Join us to engage in a fascinating discussion + experience a poetry and soundscape piece by Sarah Howe and Chu-Li Shewring, view a sculpture and film by Helen Pynor and a film created by young filmmaking group KaleiKo.
