ONLINE: From Forces to Forms

Feb 01, 2022 - Apr 27, 2022
Presented at Pratt Institute鈥檚 Manhattan Gallery and curated by Ellen K. Levy, a multimedia artist, scholar, and past president of the College Art Association, 鈥淔rom Forces to Forms鈥 explores the nature of form by engaging with the potent forces and processes of nature. By investigating how physical laws shape living and nonliving forms alike 鈥 ideas first proposed by D鈥 Arcy Thompson in his classic tome 鈥淥n Growth and Form鈥 (1917) 鈥 the exhibition explores universal principles of organismic development while delving into the flux and perturbations that characterize life today. 

 Reflecting Pratt Institute鈥檚 commitment to interdisciplinarity, 鈥淔rom Forces to Forms鈥 features works by 19 artists and designers whose practices draw from both art and science and articulate a shared commitment to creating a more sustainable world. These works consider the implications of form generation through a variety of media (from analog to digital), at different scales (from subatomic to macroscopic), and in varied contexts (from prebiotic to ecosystems).
