Presented by Number: Inc. An Independent Journal of the Visuals Arts at Memphis College of Art from
May 28 — July 14, 2019.
This 2019 summer exhibition was a followed-up to
Michele Banks and her DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities Sister Cities grant to Paris.
With her grant funding, Michele was able to go to Paris and meet Virginie Courtier-Orgogozo, PhD where she collaborated with the research lab to make art about evolutionary biology. Later Michele invited Virginie to come to DC and participate in an educational and creative workshop featuring Arnaud Martin
who is actively using CRISPR technology to edit butterfly genomes. The workshop was held at the studio of Jessica Beels and all of the women in this exhibition participated in the workshop.
Curator Molly Ruppert selected the work of
Jessica Beels, Robin Bell, Julia Bloom, Gloria Chapa,
Pat Goslee, Liz Lescault, Glenn Richardson and
Erwin Timmers for the first in a short series of exhibitions focused on the climate crisis facing our world.
