For 45 years, EKG was a space for artists to showcase their works across different mediums, while exploring the intersection between art and science.

BioArt Residency

From 2017 to 2021, this program invited artists into the lab, where they were able to work alongside scientists and create art inspired by their research.

Artists who create and innovate and ask questions are not that different from the kind of scientists we have here. So putting the two together, it’s not like apples and oranges, it’s like McIntosh and Honeycrisp apples. They’re all apples. We’re creating and we’re innovating and we’re asking questions—we’re just doing it in slightly different ways.
