Art&Science Across Italy brings science exhibition to Rome with works by young high school students

Art&Science Across Italy closes its fourth local stage in Rome (after Milan, Genoa and Venice) with an exhibition that, along with works by professional artists, presents 68 never-before-seen artistic creations inspired by scientific themes and created by about 200 students from 16 science, classical and art high schools in Rome and its province.

The exhibition is entitled The Colors of Science. In the Art of Research and will open at the Slaughterhouse from January 11 to 22, 2020.

As a whole, the project involves in its second edition eleven Italian cities (Milan, Turin, Rome, Genoa, Potenza, Pisa, Florence, Naples, Matera, Venice, and Padua), for a total of 93 schools and 4,000 students engaged in training activities and production of artistic works, in the context of school-work alternation projects. The works of the Roman stage, which involved a total of 1,000 students, were created with the support and supervision of researchers from theNational Institute of Nuclear Physics and La Sapienza University of Rome, for the scientific part, and artists from theAcademy of Fine Arts in Rome, for the artistic part. An integral part of the exhibition is the art@CMS collection, which brings together some 40 works, the result of collaboration between professional artists and scientists, which have already been exhibited in international events and exhibitions (including, Singapore, Miami, Beijing, Chicago, Geneva), and a path for images, texts and installations, created by CERN andINFN, and dedicated to the mysteries of the universe and the challenges of particle physics.

Art&sScience Across Italy is a European project for the dissemination of scientific culture in Italian high schools, organized by INFN and CERN within the CREATIONS network of Horizon 2020. The project aims to promote scientific culture among young people by combining the languages of art of science as human expressions of creativity and desire for knowledge.

Art&sScience Across Italy is structured in progressive steps with seminars in schools and universities, visits to museums and science laboratories, workshops held by experts from the world of science and art, and mentoring activities during the creation of artistic compositions. Specifically, for each of the cities involved, the project consisted of four phases - formative, ideational, creative, and competitive - followed by an exhibition and a concluding national selection culminating in the final Exhibition “The Colors of Science. In the Art of Scientific Research,” at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples in spring 2020. The winning students of the national art/science competition that concludes the project, selected by an international committee of experts, are invited to participate in a master’s program on the theme of art and science in September 2020 at CERN in Geneva and other national laboratories. All winners are recipients of a scholarship, awarded by the sponsoring institutions and project sponsors, to cover the cost of the master’s degree and incidental expenses.
