In the Spaces Between — Arts at CERN

Where:  

52/1-052 at CERN

The event is aimed at the CERN community and CERN Alumni and Retirees, therefore physical attendance will require having a valid CERN access card. 

Arts at CERN

Join us for the presentation of In the Spaces Between, the first publication dedicated to Arts at CERN, the arts programme of the world’s largest laboratory for particle physics.
 
Over the past decade, Arts at CERN has fostered encounters between artists and scientists within the Laboratory’s uniquely creative and dynamic environment. Edited by Mónica Bello, this publication brings together essays, reflections, and visual contributions that explore the spaces between understanding and unknowing, between observation and imagination. 
The event will be moderated by Giulia Bini, Curator and Head of Arts at CERN, and will feature:

  • Mónica Bello, editor of the book and former Curator and Head of Arts at CERN
  • Ana Prendes, assistant editor of the book and Assistant Curator at Arts at CERN

What draws artists to the highly specialised scientific space? What compels them to engage with the unknown behind experiments and theoretical frameworks? The discussion will explore the book’s themes and contributions, inviting us to reflect on the shared understandings and creative possibilities that unfold when artists and scientists work alongside one another, offering an unparalleled landscape for collaboration and insight.

The event will be followed by a Q&A and signing session, an apéro for guests, and the unveiling of a new production by artist Rohini Devasher.
The books are available from the CERN Library & Bookshop.
