Republic of the Moon

1.举办2011年在利物浦大获成功的伦敦艺术催化剂展览《月球共和国》，以及一个充满活力的新艺术/科学活动方案，旨在激发人们对当代月球科学的兴趣，并引发关于未来探索月球的讨论。该节目将接触到广泛的公众受众，他们可能一般不会与科学传播联系在一起。月亮共和国展览展出了来自英国、俄罗斯、美国、西班牙和德国的国际知名艺术家的作品。它的目的是将月球探测重新定位为一种文化魅力。在高科技时代和新的太空时代，这将创造一场关于我们与月球的个人关系的对话。在这个时代，私营公司和新兴太空国家(如中国和印度)都在规划月球上的机器人着陆器。在南半球黑暗的环形山中寻找月球冰，引发了人们对未来人类登月任务的猜测。展览将配合一个动态的活动计划，包括艺术/科学讲座、电影、表演和工作坊。该方案正在与露西·格林博士(穆拉德空间科学实验室)和Ian Crawford博士(伯克贝克学院和行星科学中心)合作制定，还将有Kevin Fong博士(伦敦大学学院和行星科学中心)和Bernard Fing博士(欧洲航天局国际月球探索工作组，欧洲航天局)的贡献。月球共和国提出的想法和问题将被记录在视频中(现场直播并嵌入网站)和图文并茂的出版物，其中将刊登科学、空间和艺术作家委托撰写的文章，并将以印刷形式和各种电子格式以及在网站上提供。

1. To organise the Arts Catalyst exhibition Republic of the Moon in London, which had a highly successful showing in Liverpool in 2011, together with a dynamic new art/science events programme, aimed at exciting interest in contemporary lunar science and provoking discussion around future exploration of the Moon. The programme will reach a wide public audience who may not generally connect with science communication.2. The Republic of the Moon exhibition features works by international established artists from the UK, Russia, USA, Spain and Germany. It aims to re-position lunar exploration as a cultural fascination. It will create a conversation about our personal relationship with the Moon in the era of advanced science and a new space age, in which robotic landers on the Moon are being planned both by private companies and emerging space nations, such as China and India. The search for lunar ice in the dark craters of the Southern hemisphere leads to speculation about future human missions to the Moon.3. The exhibition will be accompanied by a dynamic events programme, which will include art/science talks, films, performances and workshops. The programme is being developed in collaboration with Dr Lucie Green (Mullard Space Sciences Lab, UCL) and Dr Ian Crawford (Birkbeck College and the Centre for Planetary Sciences), and will also feature contributions from Dr Kevin Fong (UCL and the Centre for Planetary Sciences) and Dr Bernard Foing (International Lunar Exploration Working Group, European Space Agency, tbc).4. The ideas and issues raised by Republic of the Moon will be documented on video (livestreamed and embedded in a website) and through an illustrated publication, which will featured commissioned essays by science, space and arts writers, which will be available in both print form and a variety of e-formats, as well as on the website.
