There was a fantastic turnout for Dr. Jerry Cullum’s curator talk at whitespace on Thursday.  Over 50 visitors spanning the worlds of art, science and everything in-between braved the torrential downpour for his presentation on From Cosmology to Neurology and Back Again.  With his signature mix of scholarly analysis and humor, Jerry took us on a journey discussing the interconnections of the show.  Starting with Karley Sullivan’s 160 Moons and continuing on a thematic journey through the other works in the gallery and adjoining spaces, Jerry explained their placement in the show and shared thoughtful anecdotes for each work.  His brief survey helped elucidate the relationships between the pieces and the overarching themes ranging from cosmology to chemical evolution to water.  Several of the artists from the show (Henry Detweiler, Terri Dilling, Beth Lilly, Seana Reilly, Julie Sims, and Marcia Vaitsman) were in attendance, so several of them took a few minutes at the end to talk specifically about their individual pieces and bodies of work.  From Cosmology to Neurology and Back Again closes Saturday, August 4th at 5 PM.
