CURRENT
The Art That Made Medicine traces the interconnections between artistic practice and medical knowledge in Western anatomical illustration from the late 1400s to the mid-1900s. Together, artists and anatomists have shaped the way we think about the ideal body and health, and not always for the better. This exhibition looks at the human impacts in the creation of such artworks and illustrations: Who were the men and women who acted as models? How can we recenter the individuals—named and unknown—who contributed to the production of these images and texts? On view September 13 2021—April 29 2022 at the CU Art Museum.

To Hear the Earth Before the End of the World is a light and sound installation organized around the five elements of earth, air, water, fire and aether. In the installation, Hamilton aims to induce emotional, contemplative, even hypnotic responses in visitors. A concentric ring of speakers will play long-form compositions of modulated noises found in nature and contemporary society interwoven with digital and instrumental sounds. LaMont Hamilton is the CU Art Museum’s 2022 artist-in-residence. On view February 3 – July 16, 2022 at the CU Art Museum.
