EVENT SCHEDULE
Saturday 6 December, 10am–12pm | Test Garden
Come along to the Test Garden to see the new sculptural installation, Compressions, and hear from artist Francis Carmody and ecologist Dr Dean Schrieke.
Reflecting on their collaboration through the Melbourne Arts Precinct Plant Trials at The University of Melbourne’s Burnley campus, the two will explore how an artistic and scientific practice share ways of thinking through materials and systems.
Looking at how research unfolds in the lab and in the studio, from controlled experiments to more intuitive forms of making, this conversation opens up the shared ground between artistic and scientific workflows, asking what each can learn from the other in understanding change, growth and adaptation.
Please arrive from 10am; talk to begin at 10:30am.
