Views of exhibition

Growing public awareness of genomic issues has been accompanied by fascination, excitement, confusion, and skepticism. Genomic Issue(s) features the works of artists who are exploring the rapidly changing genetic landscape of the twenty-first century. In an age of increasing specialization and complexity, artists play an important role in expanding public dialog by creating images that help to demystify and interpret the language, images, business, and implications of genomic science. The works on display raise questions about the relationships between art, science and society, and suggest a broad range of issues to be navigated - economic, legal, ethical, intellectual, and spiritual - in the rapidly expanding field of genomic research.
