Seminar: Art, Design and Philosophy
-----------------------------------
The Advanced Research Institute, School of Art & Design,
Staffordshire University, UK is hosting a research seminar on
Friday 14 December 2001 around the theme of art, design and
philosophy.
ARi is planning significant developments in the intersection
between art, design and philosophy. This has arisen from the
context of a successful partnership addressing multidisciplinary
research in fine art and philosophy and the receipt of post
doctoral research awards. International discourses are
increasingly recognising that such an approach is important in
challenging the assumptions that have isolated disciplines and
their understanding of the world. This has gained even greater
importance in a world where we are having to respond rapidly to
the impact of new technologies; it is here that we discover a
proximity of interests between disciplines including for example
philosophy, critical theory, computing, and engineering.
The session will be chaired by Professor Terry Shave, Head of
Fine Art.
Dr Ken Friedman will give an introductory talk, and will then
lead a panel discussion within which we will actively encourage
participation from the audience.
Other panel members will be Dr Robin Durie, Philosopy; Dr Mark
Palmer, AHRB Fellow in Creative and Performing Arts; and Roger
Brown, Photography.
This event will start at 2.00pm, and it is intended to finish
about 4.30. Refreshments will be available.
A small number of places are still available for persons outside
the university who wish to attend. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BOOK A
PLACE IN ADVANCE.
