  Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings have taken place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context.
- Taking digital artwork to the bus stop - Alfie Dennen's new project | Media | guardian.co.uk 5 hours ago
  Dennen has submitted a proposal for the London 2012/Arts Council fund Artists Taking the Lead that would involve replacing 64 bus stop roof panels with #039;modular constructions#039; that act as both standalone artworks and join up to create part of a larger, location-based digital piece. Bus Tops#039; video submission, produced along with former BBC creative archive director and now freelance producer Paula Le Dieu, describes how artwork can express how cities talk to us, and why repurposing the #039;common street furniture#039; will make us engage with the city and other residents in a new and more social way.
- History Chairs - guerrilla temporary exhibition invades Temporary Art Space in Halifax | Culture24 5 hours ago
  Temporary Art Space, the innovative artist-run exhibition space in Halifax#039;s Piece Hall, is ramping up its guerrilla art credentials this week by hosting the latest in a series of quot;Changeoverquot; exhibitions. The series offers a challenging process for artists, inviting them to use an ever-decreasing space as the gallery takes down one show and hangs the next.

  London#039;s Sunday Times reports on an initiative to place 30 pianos in public locations throughout London, to encourage impromptu sing-alongs among strangers (want to find one? look here). Each piano will be decorated by an artist to relate to its surroundings.
- Taking Risks in Museums – Museum Blogging 5 hours ago
  Garfinkle said the museum knew it had succeeded if the exhibition was attacked from both sides of the political spectrum. If you take on big things, Garfinkle explained to the students present, you’re going to get attacked. And that, he added, is how you know you’re on the right track. Near the end of the day, Anderson asked us to write down a personal definition of risk. Garfinkle’s talk, along with my own experiences in the university classroom, led me to define risk as an opportunity to change minds. I think most of the people in the room left the symposium feeling more confident about taking risks and speaking truth to power in large and small ways.
