Announcing our last exhibition for the academic year! ☣️

Introducing.... Bio Art: Seeing the Unseen 🔬

BioArt: Seeing the Unseen brings together students from VPSB71 Artist Multiples and BIOC10 Cell Biology to explore antimicrobial resistance through collaborative, interdisciplinary practice. Bridging art and science, the artworks in this exhibition translate complex biological processes into visual and conceptual artist multiples. These editioned, reproducible artworks mirror the rapid replication and mutation of microbial life, while also questioning how knowledge circulates across public and scientific contexts.

From Professor Hiba Abdallah's Winter 2026 studio art course VPSB71.

Exhibition on view: March 25 - April 1 2026
Opening reception: Wednesday, March 25 from 5:30-7:00PM at Gallery 1265 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬

Join us and the class for a fun evening of seeing the unseen, exploring the ways students have integrated art and science.

UNRAVEL - Solo Exhibition by Arthur Cui

“Unravel” is not only a sorting out of complex emotions and chaotic thinking, but also a practice of finding the path of expression through decomposition and reorganization. In this process, the purpose of creation is not simply to pursue order, but to find the overlooked details and potential connections through continuous exploration, disassembly and reconstruction.

The exhibition is on view during March 31 - April 4, 2025 at Gallery 1265. Please feel free to visit the gallery during the operation time to enjoy the last exhibition of this school year!
