Artist in Residence Programme at Queen Mary Physics Departmen

The Physics department at Queen Mary Univeristy of London has long
history of producing cutting edge research into theoretical physics. It
has been the originator of revolutionary ideas such as string theory and
M-theory and has a history of connecting these new ideas to the
contemporary art world.
The department is searching for a contemporary artist to be resident for
a three month period to produce art inspired by the work of the
department and in collaboration with Dr David Berman.
A background in fine art with an interest in contemporary conceptual art
would be ideal.
The artist will have an office in the department during the residency
and there are funds to cover costs for materials.
The stipend is between £8000-£6000 depending on the experience of the
artist.
Queen Mary has many artists in residence and has an active art
community. The physics department programme is seen as an on going
commitment to interaction with the art world and the artist would be
encouraged to be part of a long term association with the department at
Queen Mary.

Please send a CV with any weblinks to, and samples of, past work along
with a statement of interests to: d.s.berman@qmul.ac.uk

The deadline for applications is the 15^th of June with a view to
beginning in September.
