Extraordinary Renditions (Stockholm): The Cultural Negotiation of Science

Christine Borland, Fiona Crisp, Chris Dorsett, Rona Lee The Cultural Negotiation of Science is a research group based at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK that brings together several artists and academics whose practices engage with expert cultures across a broad spectrum of science and technology. Collectively, the group is characterised by a performative approach to the production of knowledge that actively challenges the use of art as an instrumental or illustrative device to interpret science.Here at the Royal Institue of Art, four artists from the Cultural Negotiation of Science group, Christine Borland, Fiona Crisp, Chris Dorsett and Rona Lee, will talk about their work across bio-medical ethics, fundamental science, genetics & museum holdings and physical geography respectively.
