Artist and theoretician, Susan Anker mixes science with art, exploring "genetic imagery" with depictions of chromosomes, molecules, DNA sequences, and investigates the kinship between art and science.
"I am interested in the intersection between art and biology," Anker said in an interview today with Ann Lydecker, Principal at Metropolitan Art Advisors, LLC in New York City. "It’s the role of art to question the unquestioned and explore the role of visual metaphors. The new science of genetics provides a particularly fertile field for artistic investigation," she says.
Anker, who is also an Chair of the Fine Art Department, professor of art history and theory at the New York School of Visual Arts, has had her art featured at museums and galleries such as the Smithsonian Insitute, the Walker Art Center, and the Museum of Modern Art in Japan. She will also be exhibiting this summer in Istanbul, Turkey and Berlin, Germany.
