NAS Announces Virtual Symposium on Visual Culture and Bioscience

WASHINGTON - The Office of Exhibitions and Cultural Programs of the
National Academy of Sciences will co-host the “Virtual Symposium on Visual
Culture and Bioscience” from March 5 to 13, 2007, with the Center for Art
and Visual
Culture at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).

Experts from around the world will discuss the intersections between the
visual arts and the life sciences at this international event, which will
take place on the Internet. A group of 30 participants - comprised of
artists, scientists, historians, ethicists, curators, sociologists, and
writers - will present a variety of perspectives on topics such as artists
in the lab, imaging in art and bioscience, and the sociological
implications of the growing connections between the two fields. A complete
list of participants and examples of such intersections can be found on
the following pages. The discussion, which will be conducted through a
listserv, will be accessible online at

www.visualcultureandbioscience.org.

Suzanne Anker, a visual artist and theorist working with genetic imagery,
will moderate the discussion. She is the co-author of The Molecular Gaze:
Art in the Genetic Age (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2004). She
curated “Gene Culture: Molecular Metaphor in Contemporary Art” (Fordham
University, 1994), the first exhibition devoted entirely to the
intersection of art and genetics. Anker teaches art history and theory at
the School of Visual Arts in New York City where she is chair and editor
of ArtLab23. She is also the host of BioBlurb on WPS1 Art Radio. This
event is made possible through the generous support of Ralph S. O’Connor
and the Marian and Speros Martel Foundation. It is sponsored by the Office
of Exhibitions and Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences
and UMBC. For more than 20 years, the Office of Exhibitions and Cultural
Programs of the National Academy of Sciences has sponsored exhibitions,
concerts, and other events that explore relationships among the arts and
sciences.
