We would like to invite you to join the art presentation of the MPI-CBG Art Prize winner 2011. Moritz Liebig will present his work "Eaten". Moritz was hosted in Suzanne Eaton's lab and created a Max Planck bust made from agar-agar, in a glass box with hundreds of fruit flies.
The installation will be presented to the public on Friday, April 13, 2012 at 17:00 in the MPI-CBG Atrium.
There will be greetings by representatives of the MPI-CBG and the Dresden Art Academy, an introduction to Moritz' work, and a short talk on the communication between science and the arts ("Lost in Translation") by Gerrit Gohlke, a Berlin-based author and curator. Also, the 2012 winner will be announced (hosted by the Tomancak lab).
Everybody is very welcome!
The MPI-CBG Art Prize is a co-operation with the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts (HfBK Dresden). It is supposed to make art a product of confrontation with scientific work - in theory and by participation in the scientific routine. The artists 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.
