Animal Logic: The Work of Richard Barnes

The first exhibition is the Artology series is Animal Logic: The Work of Richard Barnes, the acclaimed photographer who has documented work in the collections of natural history museums nationwide. Animal Logic will feature selections from the artist's "Diorama" series which includes photographs of traditional natural history museum displays that expose the artifice of these crafted environments. Animal Logic also will include "Murmur," a collaborative photography/ audio/ video project based on Barnes's study of the migration of starlings in Rome, Italy, that included input from a videographer, composer and a scientist. Barnes will create a new on-site installation using ephemera from the Institute of Science's natural history collection as well as new photographs by Barnes of the Institute's natural history collection, which ultimately will be added to the Art Museum's permanent collection.
