Arts at CERN is the arts programme of CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva. We foster dialogue between artists and scientists, connecting the international cultural community through science and research.

Since 2012, over 250 artists have experienced how fundamental science addresses the unresolved questions about our universe, engaging with over 1000 scientists from CERN and other laboratories. Our programs include art commissions, exhibitions, and events that bridge art, science and society. Guided by the vision that science is integral to contemporary culture, we cultivate a collaboration network with scientific and cultural organisations worldwide.
Through Arts at CERN, the Laboratory explores the cultural significance of fundamental research. The programme seeks artists’ reflections on the implications of science and technology, explores the potential of collaboration across disciplines, and highlights what makes CERN a unique place for artistic inquiry.

Arts at CERN invites artists to the Laboratory to experience how fundamental science pursues the unknown questions about our universe. Our vision is to inspire exchanges between artists and scientists and to participate in an international cultural community eager to connect with CERN.
Mónica Bello is Head of Arts at CERN. She oversees the Laboratory’s art initiatives, directing the conception and implementation of the programs, including art residencies, commissions, and exhibitions.

Chloé Delarue is an artist based in Geneva, Switzerland. In her practice, she observes how automation and simulation in the digital age alter our perception of reality, exploring the transformation of our bodies. Delarue’s installations and sculptures, including her extensive series TAFAA–Toward A Fully Automated Appearance, creates dense aesthetic environments that reveal the ambiguities of a world reflecting upon itself.
