Trans-Evolution: Examining Bio Art at CEPA Galleryby Lucy YauBio art is the fusing of contemporary biochemical and medical research with visual art. Though it may seem like a new conceptual fad, bio art has a long tradition. Over the centuries the division between the arts and sciences has grown wider, where once they were tied closely together, as in the artwork and scientific discoveries of Renaissance luminary Leonardo da Vinci. |

Tim RaymondA prepossessing art show at the Chateau Buffalo, a wine shop on Hertel Avenue displayed works by Elizabeth Kumrow-Capuano and Paul Alico, two artists who have sustained traumatic brain injury—the former due to cumulative damage caused by domestic violence, by, in her case, a person fully intending to marry her; the latter a fireman who had a wall fall on him while fighting a house fire. |

That would be excellent homework for you to do during the phase of intensified intimacy you’re now in—a time when your allies are making you even more real to yourself than you’ve ever been, as well as a time when you will be returning the favor to them. |
