Pioneers in Art and Science Metzger Director Ken McMullen A work on DVD by leading British Director Ken McMullen. Sir Christopher Frayling, Chair of Arts Council England said: "The importance of Gustav Metzger has been recognised within visual art for decades. It's extraordinary to think that this is the first documentary that has been made about his life and work. This DVD gives us a great opportunity to connect past and present and shows the influence that the work of Gustav Metzger has had on contemporary culture. It also shows what a thoughtful and committed man he still is." Ken McMullen's Metzger was commissioned by the Interdisciplinary Arts Department of Arts Council England as part of the Pioneers in Art and Science documentary series, and is designed to fully utilise the potential of the DVD format.

Pioneers in Art and Science Art, Poetry and Particle Physics Director Ken McMullen John Berger is one of our most celebrated and respected writers and broadcasters. A former winner of the Booker Prize, he also wrote one of the most influential books on art of our time, Ways of Seeing, which became a landmark documentary series on BBC Television. In Ken McMullen's engaging and accessible film, Art, Poetry and Particle Physics, he travels to the world's biggest particle physics laboratory at CERN in Geneva. The film charts an extraordinary and wide-ranging series of discussions and collaborations between Berger and the leading theoretical and experimental physicists John March Russell and Michael Doser. Whether discussing particle physics, poetry, the development of the atom bomb, or the ghostly theft of a glove at the grave of the writer Jorge Luis Borges, Berger demonstrates why he is one of our foremost cultural figures as he brings an infectious and inspiring curiosity to each encounter to create a refreshingly accessible new perspective to our understanding of the value of science and culture today.
