After a number of years in operation it is time to reflect, consolidate and give the artists-in-labs program a new direction. Therefore the Swiss artists-in-labs residencies will be suspended in 2012.
We will take this time to further develop the concept of the residencies and remain committed to give artists the opportunity to collaborate with scientists and people from different disciplines and cultures. We are dedicated to further the discourse about trans-disciplinary research through thematic conferences, exhibitions and publications, which explore pertinent relevant themes in a larger social context.
Swiss artists-in-labs will continue to work across Switzerland and on an international level and will seek new ways to reach out to local communities, open up scientists to the potentials of the art-processes and creative interpretation and engage diverse audiences with our explorations and activities.
The results of our reflections as well as future opportunities for both artists and scientists will be posted on this site and with a newsletter in due course. Please check our progress and keep in touch for opportunities and trans-disciplinary information.
