The Art+Science project is a decade-long art and science community – building exercise that has brought scientists and artists together in the production of high-quality exhibitions that foreground the research of individual scientists and artists through a dialogue focused on the scientist’s research.
The Dunedin-based project has attracted researchers from across the physical, biological and social sciences and from all studio disciplines in the arts, and has grown to become a respected and innovative project in New Zealand. The annual call for project invites participants to respond to a theme set in a wide context and scaling between the human and planetary, past, present and future, with views from the macro and micro worlds
Past projects have explored themes relating to: Anatomy (2013), Neuroscience (2014), Genetics (2015), Light (2016), Space (2017), Oceans; (2018) Water (2019), Earth (2020-2021) and Air (2022).
This touring exhibition is a collection of works made by textile artists who have taken part in the project 2018-2022.
