Vairak info: http://www.artscatalyst.org From: "The Arts Catalyst" <[email protected]> Subject: Call for Submissions: Eye of the Storm Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:56:25 -0600 An Arts Catalyst / Tate Britain Conference Eye of the Storm An interdisciplinary conference on scientific controversy 19 / 20 June 2009 Tate Britain, Millbank, London SW1, UK http://www.artscatalyst.org/projects/global/eyeofthestorm.html CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS The Arts Catalyst and Tate Britain announce an international call for artists, scientists, social scientists, theorists, policy-makers and other disciplines, to present in Eye of the Storm, a conference exploring scientific controversy from an interdisciplinary perspective. Eye of the Storm aims to explore a range of controversies, from esoteric arguments between physicists over the structure of the universe, to disputes about the causes of species decline and climate change, and highly charged public controversies around the use of stem cells and the distribution of genetically modified organisms. When heated debates around the challenge of climate change have shown how abstruse uncertainties within a scientific community can be amplified and distorted to challenge the whole notion of human-caused greenhouse warming, Eye of the Storm sets out to examine the relationship between scientific uncertainty and public controversies around science. We invite abstracts for papers and proposals for artists' presentations and talks for Eye of the Storm that consider questions such as the following: When the whole culture and ethic of science is based on disagreement and alternative explanations, how does this essential scientific uncertainty work in the quest for knowledge? How do scientific disputes affect political decision-making and society's relationship with science? As scientific and technological developments produce their own controversies, such as those around GM crops, what are the current critical controversies in and around science and technology? What alternative societal and cultural perspectives and contributions do artists and social scientists bring to this area? When the influential science sociologist Bruno Latour has worried that social science - in questioning the 'reality' that science examines - may have contributed to political abuses of science: what is the relationship between scholarship, science and politics? Confirmed keynote speakers are Sheila Jasanoff, Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies at Harvard University, and Roger Malina, astrophysicist, Director of Research at CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research), former Director at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille. Submissions Please send 200-word abstracts for papers and presentations (20 minutes maximum) to <mailto:[email protected]?subject=eye%20of%20the%20storm%20submission>[email protected].

The Arts Catalyst The Arts Catalyst is a UK-based arts organisation, commissioning new artist's work that experimentally and critically engages with science and is presented in a range of venues: art galleries, museums and other public spaces. Alongside the commissions programme The Arts Catalyst organises symposia and critical debates, artists residencies and participatory and schools projects. The Arts Catalyst has commissioned more than 70 artists' projects in its 15 year existence, presented to a wide public in partnership with venues including the Natural History Museum, Imperial College, the Barbican Centre, the Roundhouse, the ICA, and P3 in London, Tramway in Glasgow, Stills Gallery in Edinburgh, the John Hansard Gallery Southampton, Cornerhouse in Manchester, and Gallery Oldham. Tate Britain Tate Britain is the national gallery of British art from 1500 to the present day. As such, it is the most comprehensive collection of its kind in the world. It houses a substantial collection of the work of J.M.W. Turner. More recent artists include David Hockney, Peter Blake and Francis Bacon. Tate Britain is part of the Tate gallery network in Britain, with Tate Modern, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives. Tate Britain symposia bring together experts and scholars to present new research or to discuss aspects of a particular exhibition or wider issues around visual culture. Symposia, sometimes with partner institutions, are a focus for new scholarship and debate within visual culture and its political or social impacts. Leonardo/OLATS Leonardo/OLATS serves the international arts community by promoting and documenting work at the intersection of the arts, sciences, and technology, and by encouraging collaboration between artists, scientists, and technologists. Activities of the Leonardo network include publication of the print journals Leonardo; the Leonardo Music Journal; the Leonardo Book Series (all published by the MIT Press); and several electronic publications. The Arts Catalyst commissions art that experimentally and critically engages with science. We bring together people across the art/science divide and beyond to explore science in its wider social, political and cultural contexts. We produce provocative, playful, risk-taking projects to spark dynamic conversations about our changing world.
