Power lines, strung from pole to pole, create a hypnotic dip and rise. This gentle curve, described scientifically as “catenary,” inspires artist Doug Bosch’s new exhibition, “Catenaria,” at Lesley University’s VanDernoot Gallery, on view from January 21 to March 14, 2014.
Exploring the catenary as image and sculptural form, Bosch merges the worlds of art and science by mining this fundamental principle of geometry, mathematics and physics and infusing aesthetics.

Enormous Beauty at a Miniscule Scale High tech art show showcases dazzling images of life at its smallest sizes
Santa Fe is renowned for its culture and art; this March it will host an art show based on science. The fifth annual “Art of Systems Biology and Nanoscience,” is a two-day public event celebrating new and fascinating ideas and images from the emerging fields of systems biology and nanoscience. The images on display demonstrate the beauty of life at a molecular level.

Discoveries: Art, Science and Exploration from the University of Cambridge Museums Even Charles Darwin’s judgement was occasionally imperfect. His Tinamou Egg, collected on the voyage of the Beagle during the 1830s, suffered a cracked shell after its finder chose a box too small for it.
“This exhibition is not just about our ‘treasures’,” explains Professor Nick Thomas, the co-curator of Discoveries and the Director of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, no less.
“We have deliberately selected works of art, artefacts, specimens, documents and images that allow us to reflect on diverse acts of discovery."
"They vary from sculptures or drawings representing artistic breakthroughs to paintings recording hazardous conditions at the Poles," says Thomas. "We have telescopes that enabled the skies to be studied and new stars seen.

"The Molecular, Physical, and Artistic Bases of Color" is being taught by three chemistry professors—Warren Warren, Martin Fischer and Adele De Cruz—who all focus on a different aspect of color. The three professors had previously worked together to utilize a laser system, originally used for biomedical imaging, to harmlessly analyze ancient works of art for their molecular compositions. Now, they are each teaching from their respective fields of expertise in an effort to impart an appreciation for the unity between arts and sciences.
The Art of Science: Bouncing Beethoven Off The Moon For centuries, artists have been inspired by the beauty and mystery of the moon, and for the last 50 years, by the tantalizing possibility of traveling there. An exhibition in London, The Republic of the Moon, takes those imaginings a few steps further. The show, at Bargehouse in London’s South Bank, “combines personal encounters, DIY space plans, imaginary expeditions and new myths for the next space age,” says its organizer, Nicola Triscott of The Arts Catalyst.
One especially intriguing piece is a sound and data based work called Earth – Moon – Earth, by Scottish artist Katie Paterson. Paterson translated Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata into Morse code and “bounced it off the moon” via Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) transmission. The artist explained: “The moon reflects only part of the information back – some is absorbed in its shadows, ‘lost’ in its craters … Returning to earth fragmented by the moon’s surface, it has been re-translated into a new score, the gaps and absences becoming intervals and rests. In the exhibition space the new ‘moon–altered’ score plays on a self-playing grand piano.”
Can One Cordon Off Evil Ideas From Art and Science? Many people face the dilemma today of deciding what media and speakers are acceptable to engage. Should you watch a movie produced by an anti-Semite? Should you listen to an opera written by a composer favored by the Nazis; what about accepting scientific research that was conducted by Nazis? These moral dilemmas are at the core of a larger issue -- can there be a separation from contemptible people and the art they create?
Art is particularly problematic for those seeking morality in execution as well as theme, for many artists and performers are egotistical, vain, often willing to exploit anyone to advance their own art, and inclined toward flaunting their distaste toward conventional morality. For example, Pablo Picasso is remembered for powerful paintings, such as his anti-war masterpiece "Guernica." However, his first cubist painting, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," shows five naked prostitutes who stare out at the viewer, taking in the perspective of a potential customer. The painting was universally condemned when it was first exhibited. Now it hangs prominently in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In short, the art world has overlooked Picasso's often-cruel depiction of women in art (and in his life). http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rabbi-shmuly-yanklowitz/can-one-cordo...
“The Art of Cell Biology” Bowdoin biology students are taking on a new role as artists this week in “The Art of Cell Biology.” The exhibit is currently on display in the Fishbowl Gallery on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center. The show is comprised of digital prints of colorful microscopic images from Professor Bruce Kohorn’s cell biology classes and research projects, and will be featured until Friday, February 7.
In his 12-year tenure at the College, Kohorn has amassed hundreds of microscopic images that he values not just in his work as a scientist but also for their aesthetic qualities.
The subject matter—which presents plant and animal cells during different cell processes—resembles neon signs more than nature.

Art is particularly problematic for those seeking morality in execution as well as theme, for many artists and performers are egotistical, vain, often willing to exploit anyone to advance their own art, and inclined toward flaunting their distaste toward conventional morality. For example, Pablo Picasso is remembered for powerful paintings, such as his anti-war masterpiece "Guernica." However, his first cubist painting, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," shows five naked prostitutes who stare out at the viewer, taking in the perspective of a potential customer. The painting was universally condemned when it was first exhibited. Now it hangs prominently in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. In short, the art world has overlooked Picasso's often-cruel depiction of women in art (and in his life).

“The Art of Cell Biology”
Bowdoin biology students are taking on a new role as artists this week in “The Art of Cell Biology.” The exhibit is currently on display in the Fishbowl Gallery on the first floor of the Visual Arts Center. The show is comprised of digital prints of colorful microscopic images from Professor Bruce Kohorn’s cell biology classes and research projects, and will be featured until Friday, February 7.
In his 12-year tenure at the College, Kohorn has amassed hundreds of microscopic images that he values not just in his work as a scientist but also for their aesthetic qualities.
The subject matter—which presents plant and animal cells during different cell processes—resembles neon signs more than nature.
