Cover Story

Trans-Evolution: Examining Bio Art at CEPA Gallery

by Lucy Yau

Bio art is the fusing of contemporary biochemical and medical research with visual art. Though it may seem like a new conceptual fad, bio art has a long tradition. Over the centuries the division between the arts and sciences has grown wider, where once they were tied closely together, as in the artwork and scientific discoveries of Renaissance luminary Leonardo da Vinci.

Artists Surviving Traumatic Brain Injury at Chateau Buffalo

by J. Tim Raymond

A prepossessing art show at the Chateau Buffalo, a wine shop on Hertel Avenue displayed works by Elizabeth Kumrow-Capuano and Paul Alico, two artists who have sustained traumatic brain injury—the former due to cumulative damage caused by domestic violence, by, in her case, a person fully intending to marry her; the latter a fireman who had a wall fall on him while fighting a house fire.

He founded the short-lived Vorticist movement, an artistic style which grew out of Cubism and Futurism.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In her poem “Pure,” Kate Knapp Johnson speaks of “those who made me real to myself.” I invite you, Pisces, to take an inventory of the people in your life who’ve made you real to yourself. That would be excellent homework for you to do during the phase of intensified intimacy you’re now in—a time when your allies are making you even more real to yourself than you’ve ever been, as well as a time when you will be returning the favor to them.
