The Art and Picture Collections at Mid-Manhattan Library are pleased to present two exhibitions of sculptures by artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg. In Stranger Visions Dewey-Hagborg creates portrait sculptures from analyses of genetic material collected in public places. Working with the traces strangers unwittingly leave behind, Dewey-Hagborg calls attention to the impulse toward genetic determinism and the potential for a culture of genetic surveillance.
Curator Lindsay Howard joins Dewey-Hagborg for An Artist Dialogue series event, on Saturday February 1 at 2:30 p.m. inside the Corner Room. Their discussion explores the intersection of art, science, and technology.
Art Wall on Third and Art in the Windows exhibitions series are curated by Arezoo Moseni.
