WHEN SCIENCE X ART

This is Dura Mater

Dura Mater is a new science and art collaborative exhibition opening at the St. Boniface Hospital.  The project has been over a year in the making.  Mentoring Artists for Women’s Art (MAWA) launched the project partnership with the Manitoba Neuroscience Network in 2019 and the Director/Curator of the Buhler Gallery joined as coordinator and curator.

Artists Julie Gendron, Erika Lincoln, Bonnie Marin, Janet Shaw-Russell and Tricia Wasney were paired with neuroscientists who shared research information, data, and ideas.  The artists pushed, pulled, prodded and dissected this information to make it tangible through their work, ultimately engaging viewers in a new conversation about science and the arts.  Artists reflected on many issues: from how the brain responds to alcohol during its fetal stages, to making the arcane visible,  to communications during awake craniotomies.  Work the artist produced is varied, thought provoking, and challenges preconceptions.
