Art exhibition

We were very proud to be part of the BACC Art and Creative School Fair II which took place in the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre Our Head of Art Ms Duna Carbonell curated our powerful exhibition - Art and Science: A Metamorphosis - which features the work of over 50 Year 8 and Year 9 students.

She told us "The project questions and highlights how the boundaries between Art and Science can sometimes blur. ‘Was Leonardo Da Vinci an artist or a scientist?’, ‘How do we establish whether the work presented in “Body Worlds” by the distinguished physician, inventor and forward thinker, Professor Gunther Von Hagens, is a scientific study or an Art installation?’ These were some of the questions debated by students in order to reflect on this topic At their core, Art and Science are both about observation, investigation, experimentation and interpretation, which have all been the essence of this project

Imagery of cells, bacteria, viruses and fungi seen through the microscope have served as the starting point for this collaborative installation created for the BACC. "
