Somerset House Studios

A live art-science research event from Thought Collider and Dr Charlotte Wells including a series of public experiments, performances and discussions, 3 Days of Fat focuses on the construction of an island of fat. Inspired by Fatberg, an ongoing artistic research project by Thought Collider and artist Arne Hendriks, 3 Days of Fat brought the artists and the Department of Nutritional Sciences at King’s together with a diverse range of guests and the public, to experience and discuss our complex relationship with fat as substance. Academics and artists work together to offer new perspectives on contemporary issues. Now in its second year, the King’s College London x Somerset House Studios scheme sees Studios residents receive support to collaborate with King’s researchers, with each artist-academic partnership creating projects that test ideas and offer new perspectives on contemporary issues. www.somersethouse.org.uk/blog/kings-college-london-x-somerset-house-studios-scheme-2018
