Orshi Drozdik, Jon Tower: Science Fictions
1992, MIT List Visual Arts Center
This two-person exhibition examines the fugitive nature of various scientific systems. Jon Tower’s drawings, sculpture, and installations are wry ruminations on mathematics, chemistry and genetics and address how beliefs come to be accepted or rejected. Orshi Drozdik uses the display techniques of the natural science museum to comment nostalgically on the gradual obsolescence of Enlightenment physics, 19th century medicine and Linnean botany. Introductions by Katy Kline and Helaine Posner. Interview by Jan Avgikos and essay by Jon Tower.
