KMDI would like to congratulate KMDI Fellow Nina Czegledy, for the amazing success of her traveling exhibit SPLICE: At the Intersection of Art and Medicine. Currently on display at the Pratt Manhattan Gallery in New York City, the exhibition has been accompanied by series of exciting events, lectures and roundtables with a variety distinguished guests ranging from artists and scholars.
The exhibit showcasing 20th-century anatomical drawings complemented by contemporary works of art, SPLICE brings together both scientific and artistic means of representing the human body. It also represents the first significant public exhibition within the United States of anatomical images selected from an extensive collection housed at Biomedical Communications, University of Toronto. The University of Toronto Art Center, the Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto, Mississauga, and the West Vancouver Museum presented previous versions of this exhibition.
Coming up at the end of October Nina will be having another round table at the Pratt Gallery Manhattan. Details: October 29, 2013 at 6pm: The Body Revealed – panel discussion
