Bonnefanten and Studium Generale bring together the worlds of art and science.

Artist meets scientist

Bonnefanten and Studium Generale join forces a few times a year to bring artists, curators and scientists together in conversation. An inspiring meeting between two seemingly separate worlds. The speakers meet from each other's expertise, working methods and themes and explore what the sciences and the arts have to tell each other.

From science

This time, Marietje Kardaun is our guest. She is associate professor at Maastricht University's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Recurring themes in her work are: theoretical aspects of literary criticism; mythology; philosophy of art; Platonism; Romantic German poetry (Goethe, Herder, Eichendorff); profound psychological Bible interpretation; dreams in mythology and religion.

From art

Led by Rob van Duijn of Studium Generale, Marietje Kardaun will talk to guest curator Dorien Tamis and curator of ancient art Jip van Rijen about pride, greed, envy, anger, lust, gluttony and indifference and where these deadly sins come from and how they have been depicted by artists.

Accompanying the exhibition

Truly Wicked: The Seven Deadly Sins visualised is on show at Bonnefanten from 19 October to 12 January. As part of the exhibition, Studium Generale organises on Tuesday 3 December in collaboration with Lumière Cinema, a Film & Talk (English spoken). During this event the public favourite SE7EN will be shown.
