‘Femel_Fissions’ traces the historical influence of women on scientific discovery and research through newly commissioned works from leading Australian and international artists.
Featuring seven contemporary female art/science practitioners, ‘Femel_Fissions’ will showcase works that have been created in response to groundbreaking discoveries by female scientists from the last three centuries, exploring the fields of neurology, biology, cytogenetics, psychology, primatology and anatomy.
Breaking down the boundaries and drawing commonalities between art and science, ‘Femel_Fissions’ shows that both the artist’s studio and the scientist’s laboratory are sites for unrestricted inquiry and experimentation in this unique exhibition.
