Spring Lecture Event
Tuesday, March 1, 2011
Minnesota History Center, St. Paul, MN
Professor Eileen Korenic of the Physics Department will present "Parallels: Science, Art, and the Big Ideas."
Throughout history, thinkers in science and thinkers in art have developed new models for their thoughts, often in drastic breaks with the past. Often, these dramatic shifts have happened in parallel without communication between the artists and scientists, as if humanity was simply ready for these changes to occur. In "Parallels: Science, Art, and the Big Ideas" a couple of these shifts where the worlds of science and art made simultaneous parallel strides will be explored. We will also consider the nature of Science and Art and how we distinguish them.
Join us from 3-5 p.m. for a light dessert buffet, lecture, and discussion. Enjoy free admission to the Minnesota History Center from 5-8 p.m. that evening.
Cost is $15/person
RSVP Deadline: Tuesday, February 22, 2011
