2024 Annual SAMA Show: A Captivating Connection Between Art and Science
@ International Museum of Surgical Science
1524 N Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60610
Opening Friday, March 8th, from 6PM - 8PM
On view through Sunday, March 24th
A Captivating Connection Between Art and Science showcases a collection of works created by the members of the University of Illinois at Chicago’s Student Association of Medical Artists (SAMA).
This exhibition focuses on the art of biomedical visualization, celebrating its ability to captivate and educate in equal measure. From its niche intersection among science, medicine, and art, biomedical visualization plays many important roles in the world around us. Medical illustrations and animations work to bridge the gap between healthcare professionals and the general public, making complex information more accessible. By centering diversity as a core principle, biomedical artists can empower underrepresented patient audiences. Scientific art educates and inspires, fostering curiosity for the natural world in an increasingly digital age. Biomedical visualizations are both a reflection of and response to the state of scientific and medical education, as well as a force for accessibility.
The breadth of themes and subjects on display gives the viewer a small glimpse into the diverse world of biomedical visualization. Precise anatomical diagrams serve patient and academic audiences alike, drawn from the artist’s own thorough medical education. Dazzling molecular visualizations offer a scientifically accurate window into our smallest universes. Rich natural science illustrations for younger audiences aim to educate about the natural world while cultivating an interest in biology. From traditional illustration to 3D animation and everything in between, the wide berth of mediums on display is a testament to the variety of purposes biomedical visualization serves.
Overall, this exhibition invites the viewer to think more about the little-known discipline of biomedical visualization and the purposes it serves, both educationally and equitably.
