"Ruth Chambers: Through the Skin" at the International Museum of Surgical Science
An Exhibition of Two Ceramic Installations: Beneath the Skin and Materia Medica
Opening Reception: Friday, February 3, from 5–7 pm (free)
Combining light with translucent porcelain in the form of human organs and apothecary jars, Ruth Chambers explores thresholds between the internal and the external, the material and the immaterial, as they have been conceived throughout history in medicine and metaphysics. "Through the Skin" is Chambers' first solo exhibition in the United States, and the latest in the museum's "Anatomy in the Gallery" series, which showcases contemporary art with medical themes.(CAR)
