Exhibition to bridge the art-science divide

To celebrate Coventry's bid for the City of Culture in 2017 Dr Emma Parfitt, Sociology Researcher at the University of Warwick and Fargo village are bringing 17 artists and academics together for an exhibition of local artists' work that aims to bridge the art-science divide. Artist-researcher collaborations have resulted in pieces of work that will be exhibited for one day only, on Saturday 26 November 10am-6pm at the Fargo Village Box Gallery. A collection of Warwickshire artists were given the challenge to communicate research in creative ways. On display will be unique and visually stunning hand crafted jewellery, photography, sculpture, charcoal sketches, models, paintings, 2D and 3D drawings, illustrations, stained glass, and more created by local artists to help communicate cutting edge research to a wider audience. Visitors will be given the opportunity to vote for their favourite collaboration, and be able to chat to the researchers and the artists about what they think of the work. The event is family friendly, even offering free yoga sessions at 3pm and 4pm. Visitors will also have the chance to purchase the artists' work thereby supporting local art and culture.
