Things & Their Various Natures

Opening Wednesday, March 6th, from 7PM - 8:30PM
“We come into this world, we live, and depart from it, without our thoughts being called specifically to consider how all of this takes place. And were it not for the exertions of some few inquiring minds who have looked into these things and ascertained the very beautiful laws and conditions by which we do live and stand upon the earth, we should hardly be aware that there was anything wonderful in it.” —Michael Faraday, “Lectures on the Various Forces of Matter,” 1859
Gallery 400 presents Things and Their Various Natures, a program of films concerning themselves with the idiosyncratic ways we come to know things, curated by Deborah Stratman. The screening accompanies Observer Effect, a show that examines how artworks incorporate processes akin to the scientific method as a means to examine and understand specific phenomena that exist in the world.
