Turbidity Paintings, Closing Reception and Artist Talk

Mercer University’s Plunkett Gallery will hold a closing reception and artist talk on Thursday, February 13 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. This will be a great opportunity to hear from the artists themselves about their innovative work that blends Art and Science. Turbidity Paintings, an exhibition of video art and digital photography by artists Thomas Asmuth (University of West Florida) and Sara Gevurtz (Auburn University), opened January 13 and will close after the reception on February 13. Refreshments will be served.

More about the exhibition:
Turbidity Paintings exists at the intersection of art and science, reflecting the artists’ shared backgrounds in scientific disciplines. The series includes photographs, video, and turbidity readings, offering a multi-faceted exploration of data as art. The works aim to foster dialogue between the fields of science and art by blurring their boundaries. Through experimental processes akin to the scientific method, Asmuth and Gevurtz create projects that challenge perceptions of how art and data coexist. This exhibition promises to engage audiences with its compelling blend of creativity, technology, and inquiry.

Sara Gevurtz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Art & Art History at Auburn University. Thomas Asmuth is an Associate Professor of Digital & New Media Art and the Director of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Program in the Department of Art and Design at the University of West Florida. Together, their collaboration highlights the power of interdisciplinary approaches in addressing complex ideas.
