Out of This Planet, Conversations in Art and Science
Monday, March 30–Friday, April 3, 2015
As part of the Lazarus Artist-in-Residency, MICA will host a panel discussion with artist Tomás Saraceno, astro-physicist Mario Livio, and former astronaut Marsha Ivins.
Moderated by Luca Buvoli, artist and program director of MICA’s Mount Royal School of Art, the participants will share their discoveries and methods of exploring space and discuss their approaches to decoding its mysteries and speculating about its future. Our hope is that this cross-disciplinary dialogue will inspire new ways of thinking, making and imagining what is possible in the studio, in the lab, out of the studio, out of the lab and even perhaps out of this planet!
