A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Bio Morphe, featuring seven international artists who evoke forms and patterns inspired by nature, as well as employ biological materials, to explore constructs of society, science, and technology….
...the exhibition includes works from Tishan Hsu, Lucy Kim, Berenice Olmedo, Christina Quarles, and Louise Bourgeois, as well as site-specific sculptural installations by Eva Fàbregas and Sui Park….
Offering intersecting and diverging approaches to biomorphism as a formal and conceptual focal point, the exhibition explores how the representation of organic forms can add nuance to questions around gender, disability, mass consumption, and the ethics of technological innovation. For example, Berenice Olmedo’s sculptures incorporate materials from the medical field meant to mimic human forms, such as prostheses and orthotics, to draw attention to the political dimensions of disability, illness, and care. Likewise, the commissioned work of Sui Park responds to the Moody's architecture by creating tension between the synthetic and the organic with specific media—mass-produced industrial materials constructed to evoke cellular structures—to allude to the parallels between natural social interactions and coded patterns in technology. The inclusion of The Couple by Louise Bourgeois similarly echoes a contrasting interplay between the engineered material, cast aluminum, and the earthly curvilinear form..."
