Artist's Talk: Suzanne Anker
"The Molecular Gaze: Artists in the Genetic Age"
Monday, February 14, 2005, 3:30 PM

From designer babies to elixirs of immortality, the headlines remind us almost every day that this age of genetic technology brings fascination, fear and financial opportunity in equal measure. Yet the gene is no longer simply a vehicle of biological information. The double helix has become a cultural icon.  Suzanne Anker will examine the growing intersections between visual art and the genetic sciences.  Subjects such as identity, mutation, species boundaries, cloning and gene patenting will be illustrated through works of contemporary art.
