We have been checking out Sir David Spiegelhalter’s latest publication, The Norm Chronicles, which has a brilliant website; thenormchronicles/. David is the Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk in the Statistical Laboratory at Cambridge University, and will be coming to speak here at mima next week. He will be exploring the substance of chance, coincidence and determinable patterns in the world at large. How does randomness come into our lives and how can we better understand it? The talk will be followed by a conversation introduced and chaired by writer and art historian Chris Yetton about order, process and chance in art, explored through the work of artists exhibiting in Chance Finds Us. Peter J. Evans, James Hugonin and Anne Vibeke Mou will each introduce talking points connected to their individual practices and the wider discussion. The talk will be taking place 1-4pm on Saturday 30 August, and you can book your place here on our website; visitmima/whats-on/single/chance-finds-us-talk/
