“Cities bear some similarity with other complex biological systems that are sustained by resource distribution networks, such as the circulatory or vascular systems. But there also are fundamental differences that make cities uniquely human: social interactions and the concentration of economic and cultural activities in larger cities lead to an acceleration of time – and greater rates of innovation.” Santa Fe Institute
Northern Lights is pleased to announce a collaboration with the New York Hall of Science to present ReGeneration, a summer-long exhibition debuting in 2012 with related programming in and around NYSCI. In total, ReGeneration will engage 14 artists or artist groups in creating and presenting work that explores the connection of cultural vitality to immigration, urbanization, and sustainability through the intersection of art, technology and science. A number of the projects to be presented will be selected on the basis of an open call and juried by Anne Barlow, Art in General; Steve Dietz, Northern Lights; Larissa Harris, Queens Museum of Art; David Harvey, American Museum of Natural History; Jennifer McGregor, Wave Hill; Amanda Parkes, NYU + Columbia; and Eric Siegel, NYSCI. The deadline for the ReGeneration open call is May 2, 2011.
