The exhibition consists of 13 American visual artists whose works explore the synergistic overlapping of art and science. Bio Art describes the variety of art forms in which artists use as their medium and/or inspiration, biotechnology, genetics, ecology, plants, animals, and other life forms, be they living, semi-living, or artificial.  Biological processes and structures have inspired artists 

The exhibition consists of 13 American visual artists whose works explore the synergistic overlapping of art and science. Bio Art describes the variety of art forms in which artists use as their medium and/or inspiration, biotechnology, genetics, ecology, plants, animals, and other life forms, be they living, semi-living, or artificial.  Biological processes and structures have inspired artists for centuries---examples found in the works of Paul Klee, Vasily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, and Hans Arp---and have tagged on as “biomorphic abstraction.” Yet, it’s only in the last two decades that artists have started to collaborate with biologists to create works that use live human, animal tissues, bacteria, and living organisms as materials and themes. The phrase “Bio Art” was initially coined by Eduardo Kac in 1997 in relation to his artwork Time Capsule. This exhibition showcases several types of Bio Art that are categorized by their theme. First, Hunter Cole, Joana Ricou, Eunmee Chung, and Sunhee Kim Jung create works of medical theme that visualize living organisms and bacteria. Second, Gail Watkins, Komelia Okim, Joan Yi, and David Gerlach express their interest in environmental issues and ecosystems combined with the protection of endangered species and wild nature. Third, In-Soon Shin, Özge Alper, and Natalie Cheung’s works are mimicking of cellular image and micro-macrocosm. Forth, Sumita Kim and Wanjin Kim visualize the organic and transgenic bodily structure. These bio artists paved a way toward a postmodern multidisciplinary collaboration between art and science.
