One of the roles of artists and scientists is to observe and describe the world.
What are the limits of our ability to see? How do we change that?
What do we learn by being deeply engaged, by looking as if for the first time?
And looking again, and again.

The artists in this exhibition are engaged with making an artwork as it progresses, observing/looking in real time, over time. The artwork itself makes these demands of the maker: How do we see? How do we not see? How do we remember what we see? This process of inquiry for both scientists and artists attempt to answer these questions as part of their respective practice. 

Programming:
Gallery talk: Ways of Seeing: Artists in the exhibit will share thoughts on the importance of seeing, observation, and perception.
Thursday, September 12, 5:00pm Reception to follow
