The River Talks will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 12 with “Art as a Voice for Science,” an in-person and virtual presentation at the Lake Superior Estuarium Confluence Room (3 Marina Drive, Barker’s Island in Superior) given by Adam Swanson, local muralist and environmental artist whose work has been exhibited internationally.
Science and art are both attempts to understand and describe the world. Understanding and communicating abstract ideas are important in the modern merging of the two disciplines. Swanson will discuss how he integrates science topics into his artwork, he’ll describe some of his science/art residencies and he will overview other science-based artists he’s met. Refreshments will be provided.
