Scientific Art on Campus

There is a temporary art display on campus worth mentioning. Inspired by Life (a solo show), by Julian Voss-Andreae and curated by Christine Zardecki.

It is at the Rutgers Student Center, College Ave Campus (Second Floor, Art Display Case) and is comprised of a series of Scientific Sculptures; they are on display from Feb 18-22.

The announcement I saw summarized it more or less like this:
Julian Voss-Andreae has developed a novel kind of sculpture based upon the structure of proteins. His large-scale, outdoor sculptures are designed to tell unique stories about hemoglobin, collagen, and other structures essential to life. These sculptures are based upon information contained in the Protein Data Bank, the world-wide repository for nucleic acid and protein structures based at Rutgers and UC-San Diego.
