Article Title: | Frist Center Presents Fairy Tales, Monsters and the Genetic Imagination |
Article: | On February 24, the Frist Center will present Fairy Tales, Monsters, and the Genetic Imagination. This exhibition will feature works by contemporary artists who invent humanlike animal or hybrid creatures to symbolize life’s mysteries, desires, and fears. Finding inspiration in sources ranging from Aesop’s Fables to the products of genetic experimentation, the artists in the exhibition examine interactions between nature and humanity in the context of oral and written lore, psychology, ethics, and visions of the future in both science and science fiction. The exhibition will include approximately 60 contemporary paintings, photographs, sculptures, and video works.
