SPACE DAY
Lambeth Academy, London
22 March 2007
The Arts Catalyst, in collaboration with the art and science departments at Lambeth Academy (a secondary school in Clapham), ran an art-science day focusing on Space. The whole school was taken off timetable (600 students) and all lessons delivered that day were hands-on and/or interactive and dealt with space topics.
Nicola Triscott delivered a talk on art, space and weightlessness to the whole school. Five artists ran workshops with students through the day: Antony Hall worked with sound and pod casts, Joanna Griffin developed an orbital installation with the students using Google Earth and satellites; Mandinga Arts created alien masks and Dimitri Launder and Joel Grey landed a Space Pod in the school atrium that became a debating forum on the politics of space travel.
