Art Exhibit: Keeping the Bubble Happy
<p>Gilded Pear Gallery is pleased to present "Keeping the Bubble Happy", a solo exhibit of new works by Mary Zeran.<br><br>This show investigates the idea that we all possess our inner world in relation to the external- our bubble. The works featured are a response to keeping both of these in equilibrium; the artist illustrates her personal reflection to what that means with color, movement, texture and composition. “I structure my world around a system of patterns and habits to create a psychological ecosystem that allows me to transcend my sadness, fears, insecurities, and doubts”, says Zeran. Painterly organic shapes and patterned blocks are affixed together in chaotic harmony. “I am a participant in the collaboration with the material and my atmosphere is airy within dense and transparent layers, focusing on interactions with the natural world around me.” As she abstracts flowers, trees, and the colors of nature, she uses this language to bring her closer to her family’s craft traditions while exploring her own internal voice. Exhibiting works are largely displayed on panel and paper and include her signature “object” renderings.<br><br>Mary Zeran received her B.F.A and M.F.A from University of Iowa. She was born in Iowa City in 1964 and now lives and works in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She is the recipient of several awards and honors and her works are in numerous public and private collections as well as many notable corporate collections. Her collage works have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad. Museum collections include The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, and Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, Cedar Rapids IA. She has been reviewed in The Art Examiner, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Artweek, and Kolaj Magazine.<br><br><br>Parking, Accessibility:<br>A limited parking lot is available with 1 handicap space. On street parking is available on 3rd avenue and 8th street- non-metered.

Thursday Forum - CRISPR Technology and the Brave New World of Genetic Engineering
<p>Popular media is abuzz with news stories and catchy headlines about CRISPR technology—variously proclaiming it as a cure for cancer, blindness, or blood disorders, a concerning technology that can create genetically modified babies, or a powerful way to adapt the foods we grow and eat. But what is CRISPR and how does it work? In this two-week forum, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Biology Patricia Storlie will take you behind the hype in order to understand and be more informed about this exciting breakthrough and new biotechnology tool. The forum will begin with the basics, explaining the history of CRISPR and what the technology involves. It will go on to examine how CRISPR is revolutionizing science and medicine—in basic research and in groundbreaking trials as a therapy for human disease or a tool to control insect populations and invasive plant species. All throughout, we will consider the oversight and safeguards (or lack thereof) that are in place as we enter the brave new world of genetic engineering at full speed.</p> 2019-09-24 11:30:00 -05001/16/208:45 a.m.Coe College, Hickok Hall, Kesler Lecture HallCedar Rapids -
