Hello,

Dis/Believer: Intersections of Science and Religion in Contemporary Art
Monday, November 16, 2009 - Saturday, February 13, 2010
Dis/Believer presents the work of contemporary visual artists who engage in the relationship of science and religion. The concept is inspired by the ever-deepening controversies regarding the co-existence of scientific theory and a belief in the divine. The first visual arts exhibition to contribute to this global dialogue, Dis/Believer gives focus to artists who are increasingly exploring these issues and expanding the conversation in provocative and enlightening ways. Shown through diverse media, the disparate sub-themes range from evolution versus creationism and morality in medicine, to faith and technology and the sustainability of the planet.
Curated by Neysa Page-Lieberman.
Exhibition is held in conjunction with Critical Encounters: Fact & Faith
Artists Include: CarianaCarianne, Teresa Diehl, The Glue Society, Industry of the Ordinary, Kysa Johnson, Marci MacGuffie, Joe Meiser, Trong Nguyen, Joshua Thorson, Sandra Yagi
Panel Discussion:
