CO-OPs
CO-OPs is the name of a major art-science project launched in September 2006. The CO-OPs project centers on the question of the usefulness or even necessity of close collaboration between the arts and the sciences.
At this second CO-OPs public event, the seven project teams present and discuss their preliminary research results in Bastion Sonnenborgh.
The teams present their work-in-progress in separate exhibits (to be visited by the public continuously). Based on films, photos, objects, scale models and drawings, the teams provide an overview of their effort's progress.
In addition, two expert meetings take place in BAK, center for contemporary art in Utrecht. These meetings will be attended by invited external experts (scholars, scientists and artists) and the members of the CO-OPs teams. (Not open to the public.)
