Aspen Mays

Interdisciplinary practices have become widely accepted in the art world.  Aspen Mays is one artist bridging practices by exploring the intersection between art and science.  Though her photographs are exhibited within the gallery, they simultaneously exist as scientific catalogs, systematizing and documenting the mundane.  Einsteins Rainbow (above) was shown in Mays solo show, Every Leaf on a Tree at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, IL.  This photograph is from a series depicting every book on Albert Einstein available through the Illinois Collegiate Inter-Library Loan program.

The next two works were shown in From the Offices of Scientists at the Hyde Park Art Center.
