The Congress for Curious People. (360G-Wellcome-102821_Z_13_Z)
We are seeking support for a trans-disciplinary series of lectures and performances, The Congress for Curious People, which is addressing popular variants of scientific knowledge and its social, historical and cultural dimensions. From August 30th to September 8th 2013 this event will be held in multiple venues in London, exploring more specifically relationships between the sciences and spectacle in contemporary society. Beginning with a series of evening lectures and performances and culminati ng in a two-day symposium, the Congress will feature the work of historians of art and science, museum professionals, performers and artists as well as problematise this field and specifically ethical issues around spectatorship. The Congress will create not only a forum for discussing but also for experiencing spectacle, entangling the academic with the popular spheres. Its structure is trans-disciplinary, meaning it is mixing performances, discussions and academic papers in order to question t he abyss between academic reflection and spectacular practices.
