Science-Art courses

We want to give information on science-art courses around the world. kkArtLab is one of the sites where you can learn about Bioptical art. This is a free course and started on experimental basis. If this succeeds - as artists find it too technical to follow and we are trying to simplify it - we will start courses in Biology and other science subject based art.
1. You can learn Bioptical art taught by Mr. Iliescu, who has more than fifty years of experience in the Bioptical art research, here:

Museum launches cross-disciplinary initiative

The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art is creating a series of collection-based courses, to be co-taught by museum curators and educators with Cornell faculty members, intended to engage students and new faculty from several different disciplines.
Planned courses include “Seeing Art Through Science,” a technical art history course in partnership with art, science and engineering departments. It is structured around the physicality of objects and materials and scientific study of artworks – for example, using X-ray fluorescence and pigment analysis to “see” underlying layers of paintings. Instructors will include CHESS research associate Arthur Woll, museum curator Andrew Weislogel and engineering professor C. Richard Johnson Jr.

Subsurface imaging of artworks is among scientific methods to be used in a 'Seeing Art Through Science' course co-taught by faculty, conservators and museum educators.

Breaking Down the Silos: Curriculum Development as a Tool for Crossing Disciplines in the Arts, Sciences and Humanities

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on November 14, 2012 at 8:16am: http://www.roehampton.ac.uk/Research-Centres/Centre-for-Arts-Therap...

ATR heralds a new phase for the development of Arts Therapies research within the university and within the wider social context. CATR moves in line with twenty first century progressive paradigms; it promotes integrated and complex understandings of the intersections between art, science, psychological and psychotherapeutic processes.

The Department of Psychology is excellently placed as a crucible for CATR as it is the only European university that offers a suite of all five arts therapies practitioner training programmes at MA level. Moreover, CATR is defined by its multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team and involves both staff and student (MA and PhD) members in art, dance movement, drama, music and play therapies.

http://sciencegallery.com/blog/2012/09/idea-lab-explore-future-city...

Idea Translation Lab (developed by Harvard University), a broad curriculum course available to Trinity College Dublin undergraduates and Idea Lab (a collaboration with IBM and Dublin City Council). This semester they are offering a free, mini-taster of this process to adults interested in learning more about how to develop ideas for future city needs.

The Idea Lab will work on the boundaries of art and science, engineering, and developing new innovative ideas where these disciplines meet. It is a cross disciplinary course stimulating the development of entrepreneurial skills through collaborative group projects. The course consists of a combination of talks (including many by guest lecturers) and weekly workshop and practical sessions where participants will develop their collaborative projects.

This semester, as part of their wider educational programme, Science Gallery will be offering this course to adults as an evening class. Running for 8 weeks from Tuesday 16th October to Tuesday 11th December, the course will focus on guiding people through activites focusing on modifiying, critiquing and addressing our urban environments and associated social interactions.

Practical sessions will focus on group-based idea generation and collaboration. Over the 8 weeks participants will also learn a variety of 'design thinking' skills, which will enable them to work on developing a prototype project.

Classes will be run every Tuesday evening from the 16 October from 6pm until 8pm, upstairs in Studios 1 & 2 in Science Gallery, Pearse St, Dublin 1.

This course is free to attend, but places are limited to 15 participants. Submission is open to anyone interested in taking the course. No particular skills are required. Please register here.

Deadline for registration is FRIDAY 12TH OCTOBER 2012.

New PhD opportunity in Curating Art and Science

20/09/2012

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship with The Arts Catalyst and the Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London. This is a new AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award opportunity in “Curating Art and Science: New Methods and Sites of Production and Display”

The Arts Catalyst, London with The Department of Geography Royal Holloway, University of London

Supervisory team: Dr Harriet Hawkins (RHUL) Prof. Deborah Dixon (University of Glasgow) and Nicola Triscott and Dr Rob La Frenais (The Arts Catalyst)

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the Department of Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London in partnership with The Arts Catalyst, London.

The deadline for applications is 22nd October 2012. The successful applicant will start in January 2013. Interviews will be held in early November.

Project Summary:

Recent contemporary arts projects have directly engaged with, or taken as their subject, a range of sites, spaces, practices, ideas, and cultures of science and advanced technology. These trans-disciplinary art projects present highly varied contexts for research, production and exhibition, and working alongside The Arts Catalyst this studentship will investigate the practical, curatorial and production demands posed by these projects. Exploring and potentially participating in the commissioning and curation of arts projects that engage with science critically and experimentally, this studentship will ask research questions including:

How do art-science projects engage and extend the practices of curation?
What sorts of critical engagements with the spaces of scientific research and artistic production do these projects generate?
What lessons can be learnt about the challenges and possibilities these projects raise for cultural producers and curators?
How do art-science projects contribute to our understandings of the geographies of art and science?

For further details about the studentship and how to apply, go to further information (pdf) .

The award is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and the studentship pays post-graduate fees at RHUL and an annual maintenance grant.

Please note that usual AHRC eligibility rules apply to these studentships. UK residency is normally required. EU citizens may also be eligible for fees-only awards. Further details on basic eligibility requirements are available from the AHRC website.
