eMergingAn exhibition by students from the School of Art, University of Tasmania based the artists’ interpretation of the ecological themes, eMerging offers new and different ways of seeing science from an artistic perspective, and challenges the artist to interpret science through their own medium. eMerging is the result of a special winter semester course initiated by Professor Noel Frankham, Head of the Tasmanian School of Art, University of Tasmania and Science in Salamanca co-founders, Jeannie-Marie LeRoi and Caroline Sutton. The course was co-ordinated by Lindsay Broughton and Jane Quon both from the school of art. Students were introduced to the world of science through scientific presentations by the Young Tassie Scientists, field excursions and visits to scientific institutions. Students were also given insights into the process of science and art collaborations through the personal experience of the scientists and artists that participated in the Science in Salamanca 2002 (the Synergy exhibition and the outdoor installation We Engage With Invisible Tides). Throughout the course and the creation of their works, students were encouraged to continue communicating with the scientists. eMerging provides the opportunity for young people from and within separate disciplines to interact, and to present the results of their collaboration to a public audience. eMerging will be exhibited at Salamanca Arts Centre, Top Gallery, 13-29 August (for National Science Week and Tasmanian living Artists Week) or visit www.youngtassiescientists.com online gallery (coming soon).
