LifeSpace
Science Art Research Gallery
LifeSpace is Scotland’s first dedicated art-science research gallery.
Our mission at LifeSpace is to engage artists and scientists in exciting new collaborations. We aim to foster long-term cross-disciplinary activity.
We believe this will give these communities and the public greater insight into life sciences research.
This research-driven gallery space is curated as a collaborative partnership.
Researchers lead it from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and the School of Life Sciences.
LifeSpace enables an exciting opportunity for interdisciplinary art and science interactions.
We also provide a location for curatorial exchange between staff, students and the general public.
