SCIART EXHIBITS
**NEW** Underline Gallery (New York, NY): Oct. 15 ? Nov. 20, 2011 | INFINITE PERSPECTIVES: Places I?ll Remember | In partnership with Science House LLC, Underline Gallery presents an exhibition of three-dimensional topographic maps designed by renowned cartographer Jeffrey Ambroziak. Ambroziak has developed a revolutionary technique that yields true three-dimensional maps in spectacular detail ? from the mountains of Yosemite to the canyons of Mars. Also included in the show will be high-resolution renderings of historical images, including an 1863 3D rendered map of San Francisco juxtaposed against a 3D map of modern San Francisco derived from aerial photography.
**UPDATED** Artway Invitational Gallery (Brampton, ON): Oct. 13 ? Nov. 16, 2011 | Artistic by Nature | An exhibit of work by Southern Ontario Nature and Science Illustrators featuring Kathryn Chorney, Emily S. Damstra, Trish Murphy, and Jennifer Osborn.

GV Art Gallery 49 Chiltern Street (Marylebone, London): Oct. 7 ? Nov. 22, 2011 | Sense of Taste: Works by Ken and Julia Yonetani | The saline destruction of the Murray Darling basin in Australia and the bleaching of coral reefs as a result of sugarcane harvesting have inspired these compellingly beautiful artworks cast in salt and sugar, inspired by Dutch still lives. They allude to the emerging issue of the destruction of many of the world?s agricultural ?food bowls? through over consumption. Sweet Barrier Reef , cast in sugar, was last shown at the Venice Biennale 2009. Still Life ? the works in salt ? have never been seen outside Australia before. The London based, art-science gallery GV Art have brought these salt and sugar-cast works to London for their ?Sense of Taste? show opening 7 October 2011. A video of the exhibition can be seen here.
GNSI-New England Chapter Annual Exhibit Denison Pequotseps Nature Center (Mystic, CT): Oct. 8 ? Nov. 20, 2011 | From Observation to Illustration | The GNSI-NE Annual Exhibit is entitled ?From Observation to Illustration? since it involves accurate depictions of natural themes. It highlights a range of styles, techniques and subjects in the natural science field. Demonstrations of drawing insects through a microscope, watercolor and graphite will be shown during the reception. Portfolios and sketchbooks will also be on display.

Smithsonian Institution?s National Museum of Natural History, Sant Ocean Hall Focus Gallery (Washington, DC): Sept. 3, 2011-Jan. 8, 2012 | The Bright Beneath: The Luminous Art of Shih Chieh Huang | Artist Shih Chieh Huang spent a good part of 2007 exploring specimens of deep-ocean animals found in the collections of the National Museum of Natural History. He was a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellow and was investigating the unusual evolutionary adaptations that allow these creatures to live in environments unthinkable to humans. One adaptation, called bioluminescence, inspired Huang to create haunting installations that will be suspended in the Sant Ocean Hall Focus Gallery in a temporary exhibition.

Reception on Nov. 11 will feature Jacobsen and Van Dover talking about their joint project.
