Gabriel Harp is a biologist,
writer, artist, and teacher. Gabriel is broadly interested in
community evolution - from interspecies and intersexual relationships
to the ways in which contemporary art and scientific practices affect
perception and life history evolution. Having obtained his B.A. and
M.A. from the Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior program at Indiana
University, Bloomington, Gabriel is now pursuing an MFA at the
University of Michigan School of Art & Design. His recent projects
include co-organizing the exhibition Endless Forms: Engaging
Evolution, the first contemporary art exhibit devoted to representing
the basic mechanisms of biological evolution, ORGANELLE VIEW, a VRML
visualization of protein localization data, sculptural installations
that ask what religious and scientific artifacts would be if left
"unpurified" by contemporary knowledge formations, and an
investigation into prevailing representations of genes in society,
from metaphors to images. In the near future, Gabriel hopes to devote
more time to studying contemporary art practice as social behavior in
an evolutionary context. |
