A Meeting of Minds: a conversation between a neuroscientist and an artist
PAST EVENT | 14 May 2018 18:00
Please join us for a conversation between Angela Palmer (contemporary artist) and Pembroke Fellow Professor Irene Tracey (Head of Department and Nuffield Chair in Anaesthetic Science, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Oxford).
Prof. Tracey's research focus is on pain: the pain perception, analgesia & altered states of consciousness.
Palmer works collaboratively with scientists. She uses MRI, CT & other methods of scanning to develop a technique that allows her to present objects as 3D drawings, suspended in glass cubes. Her glass sculpture 'Head' (2004) is on display in 'Light Embodied'.
This will be followed by a drinks reception and private view of the JCR Art Gallery's Trinity term exhibition Light Embodied.
This event will take place in the Pichette Auditorium, Pembroke College, Oxford.
This event is free and open to the public. Booking via Eventbrite is essential.
About the exhibition
'Light Embodied' unites the two seemingly opposite worlds of medieval science and contemporary art practice.
Glass and ceramic artists from the National Glass Centre in the University of Sunderland have created works in response to medieval ideas on colour and light, as articulated by the remarkable medieval thinker Robert Grosseteste (1175-1253) who considered colour as ‘light incorporated in a transparent medium’.
Presenting ways of understanding the universe across the centuries, this exhibition includes rare books and manuscripts from Pembroke’s collection, including a first edition of Sir Issac Newton’s Principia Mathematica. The inclusion of a glass sculpture by Angela Palmer from the JCR Art Fund Collection opens up conversations across time and disciplines.
Exhibition runs 25 April – 13 June 2018 at the Pembroke JCR Art Gallery, 5 Brewer Street, OX1 1QN and is open 12pm – 2pm on Wednesdays & Thursdays. Free and open to the public.
