Lewis Art Gallery, Academic Complex, Millsaps College

January 14-February 8

In her project Visible Women, Christina Nguyen Hung uses tools and techniques commonly associated with the biological sciences to explore and critique scientific visualizations. By experimenting with representational techniques drawn from botany and microbiology, and filtering them through an interpretive framework informed by feminist, and conceptual art, Hung's work poses larger questions that reveal the subjective nature of scientific inquiry ad imaging practices throughout history. 

Gallery Talk on Thursday, February 7, 7pm, Academic Complex 215 Part of the Millsaps Forums series. Reception to follow in the gallery.
