At the University City Science Center, three artists will look to connect art and biotechnology.
The Esther Klein Gallery in University City.
Three artists will spend three months posted up in University City with one goal in common: exposing the subtle poetry of science.
A $50,000 grant from the Knight Foundation to the University City Science Center will allow artists to explore working on creative research projects in the lab of Integral Molecular, a biotech company located at 3711 Market.
The program looks to foster collaboration between artists and scientists. Artists will get to use scientific equipment and hang with experts in the field of biotechnology as they craft their proposals, which will culminate with products like documentary films, publications or art exhibits.
Throughout the program, the Science Center will host related lectures, interviews and exhibitions at the Science Center’s Esther Klein Gallery.
