Description
The Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe
(Kavli IPMU) runs an Artist in Residence Program, giving artists the
opportunity to interact and work with astronomers, physicists and
mathematicians at the institute. Based on models in the US/Europe, the
Kavli IPMU has been designed not only to give artists to be welcomed
to the science community, it also gives researchers the opportunity to
learn the artist's skills and views. A pilot program was run in 2015
to great success, with a contemporary artist hosting three programs
including a workshop for researchers, and two art exhibitions for the
general public.
