…we’ll host the second ‘Bell Museum Social’ from 6-9PM. If you’re in Minneapolis, stop by for a little art, a little science, maybe a beer or two? And to say hello to me in the midst of my last month of work here!

The Bell Museum’s new quarterly social brings together contemporary art and science for an evening of social activities, performances, and presentations on a theme. Each event features the creative work of a Bell Museum Artist-in-residence, who will mine the museum’s collection of art objects, scientific specimens, and other curiosities to present a new research-based work.

BELL MUSEUM SOCIAL || DECEMBER 9 || “LIGHT”
Featured Artist
ALI MOMENI
Featured Scientist
FRANK BARNWELL
As we approach the longest night of the year, artist Ali Momeni (assistant professor, U of M Department of Art and founder, Minneapolis Art on Wheels) will explore the role that light plays in our environment, transforming the museum’s habitat dioramas using interactive projection technology. A short presentation by retired University biology professor Frank Barnwell (Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior), whose research explores circadian rhythms and the adaptations of intertidal shore crabs, will help illuminate the evening’s topic. Visitors are invited to create their own museum souvenir using objects and light in a vintage photo booth.
Light appetizers and a cash bar from Red Stag Supper Club
