Video Installation by Hyun Mo Koo

We would like to invite you to join the art opening of the MPI-CBG Art Prize winner 2010.

Hyun Mo Koo: Monster

Hyun Mo Koo, recent awardee of the MPI-CBG Art Prize, will present his work „Monster“: Dancing spiders and cancer cells.

The MPI-CBG Art Prize is a co-operation with the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts (HfBK Dresden) and does not merely honour a completed static artistic work; on the contrary, it does indeed initiate a dynamic process. With the Art Prize, art becomes a product of confrontation with scientific work - in theory and by participation in the scientific routine. The artist will thus participate in both arenas of visualization by taking part in research performed at the Institute and conceiving a piece of art as the end product of this exploration.

The installation will be presented to the public on November 19, 2010 at 18:00.

There will be a short introduction by Prof. Eberhard Bosslet (Dresden Academy of Fine Arts).
Also, we will offer drinks and little snacks.

Everybody is very welcome!

The installation will be shown until December 19, 2010, weekdays from 10:00–18:00 in the MPI-CBG atrium.
