Seeing the Unseen: Science + Art
August 21 - November 18, 2023
Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art
Reception on August 29 from 4-6pm
Exhibition Description
Seeing the Unseen: Science and Art is a group exhibition featuring works of art that investigates the intersections of the sciences and the arts. The work asks several prescient questions including: Why do artists engage with science? Why are scientists interested in visual or creative representations of their work? Are these collaborations creating clarity or new access points for information in the STEM fields? Are artists expressing and making visible the work of scientists and science? The exhibition further attempts to increase our understanding of how art and science influence each other. Artists engage in new methods of scientific research in their rigorous and awe-inspiring works of art.
Seeing the Unseen: Science and Art is the first of two exhibitions presented during the 23-24 academic year that explores the intersections of the arts and STEM. Both exhibitions are presented in collaboration with the STEM Academic and Career Community. The fall exhibition is curated by Professors Joann Eisberg, Robin Ikeda, Mark Padilla, and Wignall Museum Director and Curator, Rebecca Trawick.

The ongoing global pandemic has left communities living, working, and interacting differently from pre-pandemic times. As Chaffey College continues to move towards more open campuses, the Wignall Museum presents an exhibition that reminds us all of the continued creativity of the Chaffey College community and that introduces students to the skills and abilities of our faculty and staff in the Arts, Communication, and Design (ACD) Academic and Career Community (ACC). Discipline areas from the ACD Degrees and Certificates that are represented in the exhibition include English, Journalism, Studio Art, ESL, Theatre Arts, Art-Ceramic Studio, Dance, Graphic Design for Digital Media, Broadcasting and Cinema, and Photography.
Reunion proudly presents recent work from faculty and staff within the ACD ACC. The work artists have selected to share in the exhibition may or may not be directly pandemic-related, but all of the work was created within the last three years. For many students, spring term 2023 may be the first time they are taking courses on the campus in a face-to-face modality. For others, spring term may represent a return to Chaffey College. Regardless, Reunion presents an opportunity to come together around the innovation, the artistry, and the expertise found in the Arts, Communication, and Design community at Chaffey College.
Reunion features: Brody Albert, Cabrina Alviar, Mark Batongmalaque, Mary Beierle, Brian Benfer, Brice Bischoff, Haylee Bolinger, Jason Charles Dawes, Michelle Dowd, Kevin Eichorst, Charity Capili Ellis, Megan Fowler-Hurst, Kent Hammond, Stanton Hunter, Daniel Jacobo, Cj Jilek, Arthur Kayzakian, Mark Robert Lewis, Sheila A. Malone, Amy Maloof, Carrie Ohm, Michael Penilla, Jenny Phelps, Charmaine Phipps, Laura Picklesimer, Elizabeth Preger, Seth Pringle, Amber Marie Smith, Roman Stollenwerk, Oliver Sutter, Sympathie Fahteague, Andrew K. Thompson, Victoria Barras Tulacro, Pamela Valfer, Robert Watkins, and meital Yaniv.
