Secrets of the Art World Unlocked
Works of art in your local museum are not always as they seem. Ever wonder why paintings change color over time, how some ancient Chinese Jade mysteriously blackened, or how the composition of a 20th century bronze statue can determine where, when and by whom it was cast? The art world holds secrets that many times only modern science can unlock. Join the Chicago Council on Science and Technology and Professors Katherine Faber, David Dunand, and Kimberly Gray, researchers with the Art Institute of Chicago - Northwestern University Collaboration in Conservation Science, as they explain how using advanced and homemade research tools help to unlock answers to questions surrounding some of our cultures biggest icons. Registration and reception begin at 5:30 pm and panel discussion at 6 pm at Northwestern University Hughes Auditorium, 303 E. Superior, Chicago. Free for members or $15. To register contact info@c2st.org or (312) 503-0891.
Heartbeat
How do embryonic cells know which organs to form? How do artists combine media to form art pieces? Ellen Roth Deutsch, mixed media artist and former biochemist and microbiologist, will discuss her collaborative project with her daughter, pathologist Gail H. Deutsch, MD, of Seattle Children's Hospital. While at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, Dr. Deutsch's research focused on undifferentiated embryonic cells from mice to determine how signals from developing heart patterns form organs. Paralleling her daughter's research, artist Ellen Deutsch stitches beads together to create interpreted human organs. Their presentation, part of Science Chicago's Science Conversations, is from noon to 1 pm June 25 at 100 W. Randolph St., Suite 2-100, Chicago. To register for this free event, contact (312) 814-5318 or jstevens@museum.state.il.us.
