SUMMARY:Rutgers University - Aesthetics and the Life Sciences Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This public symposium will bring together scientists\, performance and visual artists\, educators\, historians\, and anthropologists to share their perspectives on the powerful intersection between the arts and the life sciences. \nLife Science and Art are deeply intertwined. In the late Renaissance\, Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy producing exquisite anatomical drawings alongside his designs for flying machines. In 1859\, Darwin famously referenced the evolution of “endless forms most beautiful.” And from the turn of the 20th century to the present\, the concepts and materials of biology have penetrated the visual and performance arts through avenues as varied as DNA and protein structure-motivated dances and plays\, tissue culture-based sculptures and prints\, and even evolution-inspired rap. In past and in present\, creative art\, aesthetic judgments\, and the life sciences have been integral to one another. \nThe goal of the symposium is to to celebrate and raise awareness of the interconnections between the arts and the life sciences\, and to provoke discussions of how biological knowledge and artistic expression might continue to explain the workings of the natural world\, while simultaneously allowing us to appreciate and manipulate it. \nA highlight will be an animated keynote performance presented by Dance Exchange. \nClosing comments will be led by D. Graham Burnett (Department of History\, Princeton University). \nFeatured Participants: \nJanet Iwasa\nDepartment of Biochemistry\, University of Utah \nElizabeth Johnson\nDance Exchange \nAnne Q. McKeown\nMason Gross School of the Arts\, Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey \nNatasha Myers\nDepartment of Anthropology\, York University \nJane Richardson\nDepartment of Biochemistry\, Duke University \nYvan Tina\nThe University of Aix-Marseille and The University of Texas at Dallas \nJudith G. Voet \nDepartment of Biochemistry\, Swarthmore University \nDonald Voet\nDepartment of Chemistry\, University of Pennsylvania \nJulian Voss-Andreae\nSculptor\, Portland\, WA \nAlexander Wragge-Morley\nDepartment of History\, New York University and University College London \nThis event is open to the public\, but space is limited. Please register at artlifesci.rcsb.org. \nThis Symposium is being organized by Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey and Princeton University. The event is sponsored by the Center for Integrative Proteomics Research and the Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine at Rutgers\, with additional support from the Wellcome Trust and the Center for Collaborative History at Princeton University.
