Artist or scientist, have you got an idea for art in spaceNULL This is your chance to share it with other like-minded people and organisations. The UK Space Art forum is an annual meeting for artists and scientists interested in the artistic possibilities of space exploration.

Organised by the Arts Catalyst, the science-art agency, since 1999, previous forums have included presentations by Cornelia Parker, who outlined her plans for sending a meteorite into space, and Slovenians artists Dragan Zhivadinov and Marko Peljhan who produced an entire theatre performance in zero gravity. Organisations represented have included the National Space Science Centre, the Arts Council of England, Jodrell Bank, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the Sci-art Consortium and Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine.

This year we will focus on work about human and robotic space exploration. (guest speaker - who will speak about work with the former MIR station - to be announced)

You will get 10 minutes to present your idea. Admission and refreshments are free. There is no deadline but we will accept participants on a first-come first-served basis.
