Endosymbiont

24th October to 12th December 2009, Sunset - Midnight.
Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB

As part of 'An Entangled Bank' at Talbot Rice Gallery and our forthcoming 'Are We Human?' exhibition at Inspace we are presenting a new work by artist Brian Hewitt that has been commissioned as part of the bicentenary celebrations of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of 'On the Origin of Species'.

For Brian Hewitt life is data, shown as screens of statistics on astronomical calculations, human births, deaths and species extinctions. Endosymbiont references genetic mutations in bacteria. The DNA sequences on display will change as the organisms evolve over the course of the two exhibitions. The 'Are We Human?' group show at Inspace opens on the 5th December.
