Human Nature

Human Nature is a two-part exhibition of visual art and scientific imaging. This project will use examples of contemporary visual art to examine our relationship to nature and current explorations in the life sciences. It is necessary for our culture to understand and gather information about new research in biotechnology, mapping the genome, cloning, genetic engineering, stem cell research, and other issues. Contemporary artists are creating works about the humanistic, cultural, biological and ethical concerns related to these themes and can provide timely insight and an access point for cultural reflection.
