Linking through to alternative audiences can be very useful. Seven Arts in Chapel Allerton hosts Café Scientifique. I try and attend whenever I have time because the concept behind the Café is that scientists at the peak of their profession are given the opportunity to discuss and explain their ideas to the general public. There have been some terrific debates and if you want to keep up with what is going on in other professions this is a great way of doing this. As an artist I believe its part of our 'job' to do this, if we become ignorant of the complexity of the world we could be accused of a certain thinness in our practice. The next café Scientifique is on Wednesday March 18th; the subject is ‘Antimatter’ and the speaker is Frank Close, Professor of Theoretical Physics at Oxford University. Starts at 8pm at Seven Arts, Chapel Allerton, doors open at 7.30. Catch number 2 or 3A bus from the centre of town, bus stop opposite the Grand theatre, get off at the old Chapel Allerton Police Station.
