The Glass Veil: Seven Adventures in Wonderland traces visual artist and theorist Suzanne Anker’s work since 2000. Anker converses with German art historian Sabine Flach about art’s intersection with the biological sciences and the emergence of Bio Art, an international art practice exploring life and living forms.
In this collaborative work between artist and theorist Suzanne Anker and art historian Sabine Flach, the study of image production unveils the reality of pictures beyond their function as mere representations of the world. The visuals range from firsthand accounts of specimen collections in historical medical museums, to scientific research laboratories, to studies of plant propagation, among other themes concerning life forms and Bio Art. Focusing on systems of artistic knowledge, the authors demonstrate how context, scale and framing devices alter meaning in pictorial systems. Somatic responses, classification networks and image banks are explored as they relate to intersections in visual art and the biological sciences.
