Art in Science -- Science in Art
Monday, November 23
Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI), Tampa
STAFF PICK: VENUE
"Art microscopist" T. H. Saunders showcases sixty images of his craft -- pictures captured with high def photography and precision optics microscopes. Dazzling images of mundane objects -- Tylenol doped with coffee, tea, wine, beer and more -- are no larger than the tip of a needle and are recorded using cross-polarization lighting techniques. It sounds technical, but there's nothing confusing about the colorful, whimsical patterns that Saunders creates with his combination of art and science. On display through Jan. 3.

STAFF PICK: VENUE
Nov. 23-Dec. 27
Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg

Nearly 30 of the acclaimed contemporary artist’s works — with an emphasis on sculptural installations — come to St. Petersburg.
