As far as fields of practice go, art and science have often been split like coasts — the former deciphers our world through conjured fictions, the latter by way of collected fact. Exit Art's organic, progressive Corpus Extremus (LIFE+) attempts to dispense with this either/or mentality by showcasing artists as scientists who have synthesized the two fields — through experimentation with biological matter, robotics, and virtual reality — to better understand life's circadian rhyme and reason. Curated by Boryana Rossa as part of the institution's evolving Curatorial Incubator Program, the exhibition explores subjects like new, never-before-fathomed organisms, and, by featuring artificially grown cells and bacteria, what qualifies as "living."
