SciArt Field Trip to Hindsight/Insight at the UNM Art Museum Albuquerque

Join our SciArt Field Trip to Artists' Talks at Hindsight/Insight at the UNM Art Museum in Albuquerque

Hindsight Insight 5.0 features new artwork by five contemporary artists affiliated with UNM and one object from the permanent collection: a nineteenth-century album of microscopic photographs of the natural world: Microphotographs Presented to the Royal Institute of Chemistry by Henry Droop Richmond. Visually compelling and open to interpretation, it is the anchor and catalyst for this exhibition.

The Main Gallery features a group exhibition by artists Fiona Bell, Kaitlin Bryson, Amy Pilling, and Andrea Polli, all of whom engage with biomaterials and sustainable practices. Material exploration is key to Hindsight Insight 5.0. Bioplastics made from agar and prickly pear cactus, glass, water, clay, and clay-dough made from eggs, leaves, and orange peel take on an array of forms. Natural organisms like spirulina algae and kombucha SCOBY are also on view so that visitors may contemplate their inherent natural beauty and potential to feed, nourish, and inspire us.

This event is free and accessible to all. If you need more information, contact with questions related to access and accommodation.
