science in art
The definitions of art and science encompass broad expanses of knowledge stemming from hypotheses, methodologies, experimental protocols and discoveries. They share the territory of the creative process, and the figures of the video artist, historian, photographer, chemist, painter, biologist, activist and ecologist intersect, when they don't overlap.
Science in Art brings together documentation on works that originally existed in formal art venues and resulted from artists taking a specific position with respect to the world, in an effort to understand it. Designed to draw links between art and science, and to identify the scientific components to be found within contemporary Canadian art, the exhibition is structured around four themes: body, nature, time, and tools.
