| Science and Art Update |
 It is a pleasure to announce that the Science and Art project has had confirmation that its group exhibition “Time of Transition” has been accepted by the Gold Coast Art Gallery and will run between May 11 and June 6 2008.Since August 2006, nine leading regional artists from across the Wollumbin bioregion have been developing their visual responses to ecological and social crises in concert with some of Australia’s leading natural resource, sustainability and ecological scientists. The project is now working closely with curator Kamya O’Keefe who founded the Dartington Trust’s Arts and Ecology program in the UK a few years ago. Kamya now lives in northern NSW and is increasingly involved in the Science and Art project. On Tuesday September 18, Kamya led an artists’ workshop at Currumbin to support greater collaboration between the participating artists. She is also encouraging the artists to reflect upon their own journeys through the project as well as their broader roles as artists within the contemporary ecological crisis. The group will reconvene in Brisbane on November 21 with Professor Ian Lowe, to continue its integration of science and sustainability within their creative work. The Ethos Foundation thanks Kamya, project facilitator Sarah Moles, the Gold Coast Art Gallery and the participating artists and scientists for their involvement in this pilot project. Everyone involved is volunteering and donating their time in order to see how this project evolves as an innovative form of communication, learning and activism.
