Who we are

05.05.2011 | Curatorial Logs | AUTHOR: Kirsten Einfeldt

“Who are we and where do we want to go?” Neurobiologist Gerald Hüther recently raised these seemingly simple questions and stated: “The motivation to answer this is the existential link between science and art. And it is becoming more and more relevant for us, and for our lives.” Both questions are indeed existential. For both fields. They go beyond the fact that art has always been influenced by the achievements of science: Leonardo’s anatomic sketches and models of flying objects and Rembrandt’s oil painting “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp” (1632) portraying a dissection are but two famous examples of artists’ fascination with science.
