Description
BioArt is coming to Victoria! BioArt is a new form of artistic practice that uses scientific processes and materials for a gallery setting. Ontario-based artist Jennifer Willet presents NATURAL SCIENCE, a touring exhibition that connects science and art, while undermining traditional hierarchies between the natural and un-natural worlds. Specimens intermingle in unusual ways challenging the protocols of traditional laboratory work and art studios. The project is inspired by art and science research conducted in a portable lab constructed in the Rocky Mountains during a residency at the Banff Centre. This unique collection of BioArt research serves to re-imagine the role that biotechnology plays in our shared natural history. Victoria audiences will have the opportunity to view the existing research and to contribute to this growing collection of experiments by participating in workshops, and the DIY LIFE: Art + Science + Ecology Fair.Jennifer Willet
