A Dennis Rosen Trust event organised with My New Scientist
Whether your interest is the visualisation of scientific results, the application of music to medicine, or perhaps a more general desire to integrate the "opposite" discipline into your own, what better way to get into the right frame of mind than with a glass of wine and a chat to some of London’s practicing artists? click here to register
The event is organised by the Dennis Rosen Trust (www.rosentrust.org.uk) which exists to promote dialogue between scientists and artists. There is no agenda and it will be great place to meet creative people who can help bring a new perspective to the things you think about every day.
Numbers are limited to 50 from the arts and 50 from science. The Rosen Trust works to bridge the art-science gap – as a service to scientists who want more art in their lives and artists who feel their practice would be helped by dialogue with scientists.
Now members of these two important communities have a place to meet, exchange ideas, and perhaps even kick off some collaborative projects.
The event will take place in the Rosen Trust's new HQ at 11 Southwark Street, a short walk from London Bridge Station.
Light refreshments will be provided

At the most recent event in partnership with the Ri, as part of its RiArt programme, acclaimed artists Olly & Suzi, conservationist Tony Fitzjohn and animal behaviourist Dawn Hawkins, explored how each of them conceive of the animals they work with. Addressing questions as varied as the purpose and benefits of their work, and are animals their subjects or their collaborators? How can each of them contribute to keeping species from disappearing from the wild, and what can artists, scientists and conservationists learn by listening to each other's viewpoints?
