GV Art & Mind Symposium | 12 March 2013

Andrew Carnie, detail from Magic Forest installation, 2002

Is finding Art useful a problem?

Symposium   Tuesday 12 March 2013, 7- 10pm
Speaker: Dr Daniel Glaser

Dr Daniel Glaser will be drawing on his time at the Wellcome Trust and beyond to explore this timely topic. With some appealing to art to bolster the creative economy, open up science to ever wider publics and heal the sick (among other miracles). Other people worry about creeping instrumentalism undermining the practice of art for art’s sake. Particularly when art is supported by science funding organisations, whether directly or indirectly, these questions can become quite heated.
This event is now fully booked.
