While Ovid's Metamorphoses might be the first written observation that "Nature in her genius had imitated art," the human eye, alone or with the help of scientific instruments, continues to marvel at nature's imagery. Whether at the scale of the vast expanse of galaxies or the subatomic level, nature, as artist, provides us with an unending body of breathtaking imagery, a truly infinite oeuvre.
Exhibition sponsored by Illinois Arts Council, a State Agency; Krannert Art Museum Director's Circle; and Krannert Art Museum Council.
Showcasing nature's artistry as seen through scientific instrumentation, the Krannert Art Museum's CANVAS Gallery in collaboration with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology present Imag(in)ing Life, an exhibition using conventional two-dimensional pictures, three-dimensional computer-printed sculpture, and immersive virtual reality spaces.
Guest Curator: Hank Kaczmarski
