Comment | Art and science rely on freedom of thought—and on each other

The article argues that art and science are deeply interconnected, both relying on freedom of thought and cross-disciplinary collaboration. It cites examples like birds' colorful feathers being explained by a study supported by Schmidt Sciences, which found that birds use a layer of white and black feathers to accentuate color—a technique painters have used for centuries. The piece highlights the Artist-at-Sea programme aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel Falkor (too), where artists like Constance Sartor and Jill Pelto collaborate with scientists to communicate marine science to broader audiences. The author, who works with scientists and is married to one, emphasizes that both disciplines pursue truth through different but complementary methods, from Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical studies to medieval Islamic tilework and Alexander von Humboldt's naturalist drawings.

‘We need to rethink’: new exhibition revisits an Israeli conceptual art project, 53 years on

A new exhibition at the Givat Haviva Art Gallery in northern Israel revisits a landmark 1972 conceptual art project called Metzer-Meiser, which took place along the seamline between Kibbutz Metzer and the Arab village Meiser. The original project involved four Israeli artists—Dov Or-Ner, Moshe Gershuni, Avital Geva, and Micha Ullman—who created actions exploring Jewish-Arab coexistence, including burying personal items, parcelling land, scattering books, and exchanging soil between the two communities. The contemporary exhibition, "Metzer-Meiser: Take 2," co-curated by Anat Lidror and Tali Tamir, includes two of the original artists (Geva and Ullman) alongside ten contemporary Jewish and Palestinian artists, responding to the original project's themes of connection, fear, and trust.

Live conservation reveals hidden surprises of unfinished Spencer painting

A new exhibition at the Stanley Spencer Gallery in Cookham, titled *Revealing Genius, Conserving Art: Stanley Spencer’s Final Masterpiece*, offers visitors a rare chance to watch conservator Olivia Leake work on Spencer’s unfinished painting *Christ Preaching at Cookham Regatta*. The large canvas, which Spencer labored over for over a decade but left incomplete at his death in 1959, has been lowered from its usual high hanging for live conservation. Using UV light and paint analysis, Leake has discovered surprising details: extremely thin paint layers, a green water area later overpainted in blue, and multiple changes to underdrawings—contradicting anecdotes that Spencer never altered his initial drawings.
