Description
Closed MON & TUES through September 21, then only closed TUES.This exhibition explores the question of art's relevance in a scientific age through the work of Hungarian-born American artist, designer, and visual theorist Gyorgy Kepes (1906-2001). Forty-five panels depict what Kepes, associated with Germany's Bauhaus and Chicago's New Bauhaus, called the "new landscape" of scientific imagery microscopic minerals, cellular patterns, and tissue fibers-as well as Kepes's own experiments with camera-less photographic techniques. The exhibition is one of the first projects resulting from a $500,000 grant awarded to the Cantor and the Department of Art & Art History from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to facilitate research conducted by Stanford Ph.D. candidates on the Cantor's collection.
