The Haggerty Museum of Art will host a gallery talk with Dr. Deanna Arble, assistant professor of biological sciences in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences, and Lynne Shumow, curator for academic engagement at the Haggerty Museum of Art, on Thursday, Feb. 6, at 11 a.m. The talk will feature the exhibition “Parallel Play: The Art of Science & the Science of Art.”

The event is free and open to the public. 

“Parallel Play: The Art of Science & the Science of Art” was created as an integral component of Marquette’s Creative Problem Solving biology class. This cross-disciplinary course teaches STEM students to embrace divergent thinking as a path to innovative problem-solving. The class is team-taught by Arble and Shumow.

Featuring work from the Haggerty’s permanent collection, the “Parallel Play” exhibition makes connections between the work of artists and scientists with a special emphasis on the essential elements of scientific research — rejection, revision and the formulation of new ideas. The exhibition aims to demystify the process of innovation across disciplines and to illuminate the multiple routes of discovery and interpretation that art has to offer.
