...ABOUT US
spacer
The Physics Room exists to act as a catalyst for the development and promotion of ideas and debate through art. It evolved out of the South Island Art Projects organisation in June 1996, and has been at its current site in Tuam Street since 1999.

...Programming
spacer

The Physics Room programme is determined by the Director in consultation with The Physics Room Trust, curatorial advisory panel and gallery staff.
We accept project proposals at any stage. If you would like to submit a proposal, please ensure that you include a CV, images of previous work and a brief project description.

A central Physics Room aim is that parallel, integrated activities be launched in the gallery, our publications, our website, and other local public art projects, giving the issues and ideas raised by the programme the widest possible dissemination and discussion. Our goal is to actively seek links between the arts and other critical areas of cultural production; to involve art as a contributing voice in wider intellectual, social, and political debate.
