''Science in Motion: The Photographic Studies of Eadweard Muybridge, Berenice Abbott and Harold Edgerton'' exhibition at the Flint Institute of Arts

Description

Photography itself was born out of a passionate engagement between art and science. The medium's pioneers were inventors, scientists and mathematicians. The results of their intellectual endeavors dramatically affected the art form and forged a reciprocal relationship between art and science in photography that has continued to this day. This exhibition of some 40 photographs offer a rich and extensive view of the scientific studies done by Muybridge, Abbott and Edgerton, which invented devices to study and represent aspects of light and motion scientifically and photographically. FIA is open Monday-Wednesday & Friday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For details and a schedule of upcoming exhibits visit www.flintarts.org.
