VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE WORK

NanoArt is a new art discipline at the intersections of Art, Science and Technology, and relates to the micro or nanosculptures (atomic and molecular sculptures) created by artists or scientists through chemical or physical processes and visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron or atomic force microscopes. The scientific images of these structures are captured and further processed using different artistic techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences.

37 nanoartists from 13 countries and 4 continents sent 121 NanoArt works to this second edition of the international competition. Public online voting is now open through March 31, 2008 at www.nanoart21.org. Judging is via the Internet and decided by the site visitors. This site was founded by the artist and scientist Cris Orfescu (www.absolutearts.com/nanoart) to promote worldwide the NanoArt as a reflection of the technological movement. NanoArt is a more appealing and effective way to communicate with the general public and to inform people about the new technologies of the 21st Century and should raise the public's awareness of Nanotechnology and its impact on our lives.

To vote for your favorite NanoArt work you can also visit directly the competition albums' site at

Great opportunity for artists:
Culture is the true identity power. In this context the major role of the artists is to promote through art cultural diversity and preserve common values. Intercultural dialogue through art is an important instrument. Art is not a means - art is a space in which everything is possible, in which different times, subjects and objects, sometimes divergent, coexist. And not just coexist, but communicate and create values. Through art, culture, tolerance, initiating a dialogue among nations, among various artistic e expressions, a real dialog among real people. Culture communicates in the
language of heart, which is understood by everybody. For artists, communication is essential – both with the audience– the art consumer, and with representatives of national and international art groups.

an artist talk by Caitlin Berrigan

in conversation with Boo Chapple, artist-in-residence at RMIT, Melbourne, Australia
& Kathleen Forde, curator at the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York

A new commissioned multiple artwork, Hepatophagy, will be given away to all who come, featuring sculpted La Tene Chocolate.

>From chocolates made in the shape of the protein structure of the hepatitis C virus to silicone objects cast from the negative space of a mouth, artist Caitlin Berrigan probes bodily systems and pathologies to create works that address the simultaneous medicalization and eroticization of the human form. The results, she says, are "quietly disturbing works of subtle humor and irony that speak to our violent and conflicted relationship to the body." http://www.membrana.us

Initial Public Offerings (I.P.O.): New Objects, New Audiences features artists who engage, challenge, or rethink modes of creation, circulation, and scale. Each artist in the series is commissioned to develop multiples that will be made available--free of charge--to the Whitney's public audiences.

Free with Museum admission, which is pay-what-you-wish on Fridays, 6-9pm. You may register by going to http://whitney.org & clicking on the link to the talk on the front page. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
