Event 5 Fowler Museum

UCLA is blessed to house museums on campus. Fowler Museum reminds me that in the midst of all my academic classes, I should take time to smell the roses and appreciate art.

The event I attended was truly strange: Vivan Sundaram's Making Strange: Gagawaka + Postmortem. Gagawaka featured recycled hospital materials transformed into interesting outfits. Postmortem highlighted different anatomic human structure. This reminded me of Art + MedTech: Sundaram recreated art from human body parts and used bandages or recycled x-ray films. This daunting idea underlines the closing gap between art and science.
