Beverly Fishman and Eva Feldman on Art + Science

In anticipation of its annual fundraising event, An Evening of Art + Science, the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute at the University of Michigan hosted a lecture at Cranbrook Art Museum featuring Cranbrook Academy of Art Artist-in-Residence Beverly Fishman.  The Art+Science project connects the institute’s Taubman Scholars with leading contemporary artists to explore the commonalities in creativity and discovery. The artists then go on to produce works of art inspired by the lifesaving medical research of their Taubman Scholar partner, and the works are auctioned to fund more medical research grants through the institute. Fishman and Dr. Eva Feldman, a medical doctor and Ph.D, discussed what inspired them to pursue their respective fields in art and science, and what they learned about each others’ methods. Several Academy alumni have also donated work to the project. Visit their website for event details and a full list of participants, and watch Fishman and Feldman discuss their work.
