Biological Futurism highlights the work of artists Judith Berk King, Georgeta Fondos, Lisa Haque, Andy Lomas, Lisa McCutcheon and Gretchen Scharnagl. This virtual exhibition is a curatorial collaboration with South Florida-based art and technology organization,
Interactive Initiative.
Challenging the divide between art and science, Biological Futurism explored topics of hybridization, environmental biology and cellular interaction through art. Evoking memories of curio cabinets within archetypal science museums, The Frank reinvented itself as a vast display case brimming with scientific specimens – all of which are imagined, reconstructed, or transformed. Freed from the boundaries of the canvas, biological organisms danced across gallery walls and escape the constraints of time and place.
In celebration of 'Biological Futurism,' The Frank hosted free virtual art workshops, lectures, tutorials and storybook readings. Please visit The Frank's virtual classroom here to access this free art education content!
