Mapping Bodies: The Art & Artifice of Science February 10, 2007

The public is invited to the opening of Mapping Bodies: The Art & Artifice of Science at 516 ARTS in Downtown Albuquerque on Saturday, February 10, 6-8pm. This exhibition runs from Feb. 10 - March 24, 2007 and is a satellite exhibition to The Art & Artifice of Science at the Museum of Fine Arts, with the exhibitions simultaneously on view at both the museum in Santa Fe (12 weeks) and 516 ARTS in Albuquerque (6 weeks).

Mapping Bodies: The Art & Artifice of Science explores the intersection of art and science by examining the work of contemporary artists, from New Mexico and beyond, who use the language, look and technologies of science in their work. The exhibitions build on two of New Mexico’s long-standing strengths: its wealth of artistic talent and scientific innovation, giving a fresh perspective on the state’s long history as nexus of art and science.

Mapping Bodies: The Art & Artifice of Science in the downstairs gallery of 516 ARTS coincides with Eye to I: Self Portraits by Women Artists in the upstairs gallery. This event is free.
