*/TITLE: Observation of Wonder/ *
*EXHIBITION DATES: April 2 – May 17, 2009*
*ARTIST NAME: Brenna Maag
**Curator: Deborah Koenker*

*Description *
The works /Observation of Wonder/ investigate scientific theories, 
naming, and classification to view the formal aspects of daily existence 
and the poetics of nature’s diversity. Maag constructs an octagonal dome 
or “conservatory” of fabric doilies along with a collection of cyanotype 
prints documenting different doilies as ‘scientific’ specimens and 
arranged in taxonomic rank.

*/TITLE: / /Navigating the Uncertainty Principle /*
*EXHIBITION DATES: April 2 – May 17, 2009*
*ARTIST NAME: Ingrid Koenig
**Curator: Deborah Koenker*
*Description *
Koenig’s drawings and paintings represent everyday objects and 
activities mixed with the diagrammatic language of scientific 
illustration exploring scientific theories at work in our daily lives. 
An Exhibition brochure is available with an essay by Joy James.
