SCIENCE meets arts this week in a brand new free exhibition on show at York Art Gallery.

Art work inspired by ground-breaking medical and scientific research makes up an exhibition, which opened yesterday.

ALIVE: Between Art and Science has work by six globally- recognised artists, who have worked with University of York researchers and scientists come up with the new pieces.

Laura Turner, senior curator at York Art Gallery, said: “Each artist was invited to the University based on their existing portfolio of work. It is incredible to see how each of these talented artists have interpreted the research undertaken at the University of York in very original and unexpected ways.”

The project has been funded by York’s Centre for Chronic Diseases and Disorders (C2D2). The exhibition will run in York Art Gallery’s Project Gallery until April 23 2017. Entry to the Project Gallery is free.
