Art + Science – Towards a Third Culture? er en del af Overgadens nye konferenceserie, Overgaden LECTURES, der blev lanceret i 2013, og som én gang årligt går i dybden med fremtrædende tendenser på samtidskunstsscenen.
På dette års konference stiller vi skarpt på den aktuelle interaktion mellem kunst og naturvidenskab; to discipliner, som traditionelt er blevet betragtet som væsensforskellige erkendelsesformer. De seneste år har man ikke desto mindre kunnet spore en øget interesse for at bringe dem sammen, bl.a. i form af residency-programmer, tværfaglige uddannelsesinitiativer samt utallige udstillingsprojekter. Men på hvilke måder og præmisser – hvis overhovedet – kan kunst og naturvidenskab siges at krydsbefrugte hinanden i dag?
Dette spørgsmål udgør omdrejningspunktet for konferencen og vil i løbet af de to dage blive belyst gennem en række samtaler, debatter og oplæg af førende repræsentanter inden for feltet samt eksempler på konkrete erfaringer og resultater af samarbejder mellem kunstnere og videnskabsfolk.
Konferencen foregår på engelsk og er åben for alle. Tilmelding er ikke nødvendig.
Deltagere:Heather Barnett (UK), Ernst Peter Fischer (DE), Ljiljana Fruk (HR), Iréne Hediger (CH), Mette Høst (DK), Ryszard W. Kluszczy?ski (PL), Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond (FR), Roger Malina (US), Geert Mul (NL), Thomas Söderqvist (DK), Susann Wintsch (CH).

Art + Science: Towards a Third Culture? is part of Overgaden’s conference series Overgaden LECTURES, which was launched in 2013 to provide an annual opportunity to explore key tendencies in the field of contemporary art in depth. This year we are focusing on the interaction between art and science and examining the current hype surrounding the phenomenon.
This year’s conference focuses on the current interaction between art and science, two fields that have traditionally been perceived as mutually exclusive epistemologies. Despite this, in recent years there has been an increasing interest in joining the two in residency programmes, interdisciplinary educational initiatives, as well as numerous exhibitions. But how and on which conditions – if at all – can art and science be seen to cross-pollinate each other today?
This is the guiding question of the conference, which over the course of two days will be explored through a series of dialogues, debates and presentations by leading experts in the field, as well as a range of concrete examples of the experiences and results of collaborations between artists and scientists.
The conference will be in English, and everybody is welcome. Registration is not required.
Speakers: Heather Barnett (UK), Ernst Peter Fischer (DE), Ljiljana Fruk (HR), Iréne Hediger (CH), Mette Høst (DK), Ryszard W. Kluszczy?ski (PL), Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond (FR), Roger Malina (US), Geert Mul (NL), Thomas Söderqvist (DK), Susann Wintsch (CH).
