In the 1990s, Kiki Smith expanded her repertoire of images to include the natural world, combining science, history, and myth to create an imaginary system of taxonomy for animals and humans. In conjunction with the exhibition Kiki Smith: A Gathering, 1980 – 2005, the Walker and the Bell Museum of Natural History present a Café Scientifique on current scientific thinking about taxonomy, phylogeny, and evolution. Join Bell direc¬tor/biologist Scott Lanyon for a discussion about the biological relationships among life forms. Café Scientifique is a monthly forum for science and culture hosted by the Bell Museum. For more information, visit bellmuseum.org or call 612.624.7083.
