Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, Features Works by Jeff Wyckoff and Virgil Wong
Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Metabodies: Medicine and Media, featuring works by New York artists, Jeff Wyckoff and Virgil Wong in the Elizabeth Stone Harper Gallery through Mar. 9, 2006. The exhibit is offered in conjunction with the Russell Program's year-long look at "Medicine and the Media" at Presbyterian College. This exhibit is also in support of the Arnold Symposium "Media and Medicine" by the Russell Program.
Metabodies features three nine foot murals created by the two artists specifically for the exhibition, including a collaborative "Exquisite Corpse" drawing. Also included in the show by Jeff Wyckoff are an AIDS altarpiece, "foetus" jars, and the film God is a DJ, which features a soundtrack generated from the DNA sequence of seven proteins involved in the motility pathway.
Virgil Wong will be introducing the world's first pregnant man, a medical kiosk for real-time genetic cloning and reproduction, a life-size anatomical model, and drawings of the human cadaver.
Wycoff, a Principal Associate at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is conducting cancer research as Director of Intravital Imaging. Wong, Head of Web Development at Cornell University's Medical College, is building advanced Internet applications for patient care, research, and education. The exhibition presents a creative laboratory for these two classically-trained artists and their shared critical focus on medical research and the human body.
