Out of the Cradle '15 / Habiton event
+++
Matters of Gravity exhibition opening
The international symposium Out of the Cradle '15 / Habiton is a part of the Out of the Cradle series, a common ground for artists, humanities researchers and scientists to employ their integrated methodologies in contemporary space research of the highest level, cooperating with various space flight programmes, working with/on modern space technologies and producing a wide range of cultural applications to communicate their findings to wide and expert audiences. The programme of the upcoming conference at KSEVT in Vitanje [location link] is written below - it encompasses presentations of the first art satellite in orbit (Artsat1: Invader(*)) and many more interesting lectures. You can find more info on the KSEVT homepage [link] and FB site [link].

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Matters of Gravity (La Gravedad de los Asuntos-MEX or Predmet gravitacije-SLO) is an exhibition of a Mexican group of 9 artists and 1 scientist, taking part in a parabolic flight mission and spending two years in working on their art-science pieces that question gravity as the Earth's dominant force, not only in terms of physics, but also pursuing its emotional, historical and societal aspect. More info at the KSEVT homepage [link] and FB site [link] (both in Slovene). Visiting the opening in Vitanje and attending the Habiton symposium you will be able to meet with Ale de la Puente and Nahum Mantra, (artistic) leaders of the group. The exhibition will be opened as the final part of the smyposium (see the programme above) and will be available for visits within the KSEVT exhibition programme until 3 January 2016.
