Artist and Researcher Exhibit 4
What happens when you pair Los Angeles’s most creative artists with Keck School of Medicine’s world-class researchers? The HEAL Program’s 4th annual Artist and Researcher Show!
The Artist and Researcher exhibit series highlights the parallel processes of scientific curiosity and artistic inquiry with the aim of making complex research more understandable to the general viewing public. Each artist learns about the work of his or her researcher through dialogue and/or lab visits, and creates a visual language to make the science more accessible. Over the past four years, the Artist and Researcher exhibits have paired 47 teams with stunning results.
Connecting 12 USC medical researchers with 12 local artists, Keck School of Medicine of USC’s HEAL Program is proud to present the work of the following researchers and artists:
