Hutton Honors College

Art in the "Genetic Age"
Preview Gallery Talk and Tour
with Betsy Stirratt, Artist and Director of the School of Fine Arts Gallery

Thurs., Feb. 8, 2007 * 5:30-6:30 p.m. * SoFA Gallery, Fine Arts Building * SIGN-UP REQUIRED

In a recent interview Betsy Stirratt, an artist as well as the director of the SoFA Gallery, said, “Artists in the ‘genetic age’ have once again taken the initiative to create works that have never been experienced before.” In creating the exhibtion, Human Nature II: Future Worlds, Stirratt sought to bring together the work of artists who are confronting the consequences of human advancement and using their creative abilities to generate reflection on and discussion about the work being done in the life sciences. The tour will provide an opportunity to talk with Stirratt about the art being created by artists who are questioning and participating in biological and technical research, in some cases using living tissue and organisms, and the issues they are raising, as well as the issues raised by the way they are doing their art. Refreshments will be served. This program is co-sponsored by the Wells Scholars Program.
