The Arts Catalyst and SCAN are pleased to present the launch of Dark Places, a series of works and events developed by The Arts Catalyst and SCAN that examine territories of science and scientific sites in the UK.

The first in the series, Corporate Personae: A seminar on corporate social responsibility and the role artists and activists, such as Platform and Alasdair Hopwood’s With, play in “identity correction” and interrogating the activities of big business. Can business ever balance public good with corporate wealth, or does the balance sheet always win? How do corporations use concepts of “healthy”, “normal”, “good for us” to market pharmaceuticals and therapies? How do artists critique and challenge the process of big-business PR?

Speakers include Dan Gretton from Platform, Felicity Mukherjee from NFHC International Inc, Alasdair Hopwood from With, and artist Lucy Panesar.

A project by Lucy Panesar.
