Origin Exhibit at Schatten Gallery on Emory’s Campus

Hey, for all of you who don’t get to peruse your very own Ray Comfort “Banana Man” edition of  Darwin’s Orgin of Species (mine sits next to me at my desk, just in case…), you can go see an actual early edition copy without the moron creationist introduction at our very own Emory University.

ORIGIN celebrates the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin.

Not unlike Darwin’s famous voyage aboard the HMS Beagle (1831 – 1836), the exhibition brings together people of diverse disciplines and presents connections between poets, scientists, scholars, thinkers and visual artists in dialogue with one another. The origin and immutable evolution of their ideas, research and creations stem from passionate and novel exploration, interpretation, translation and collaboration.

I’ve been to the exhibit and it is cool.  Bringing the arts and science together is a new mandate of Emory’s Center for Creativity and the Arts, and they are doing a smash up job.
