Additional Details
Artist in residence Alison Hiltner will be joined by Dr. Paul Iaizzo the director of education in the Lillehei Heart Institute and the Visible Heart® laboratory, and Dr. Brenda Ogle, an associate professor in the Stem Cell Institute in the Department of Bioengineering for a panel discussion.
The panel will discuss each lab’s differing approaches to reconstructing cardiac systems and how Hiltner’s weekly experiences within both labs are starting to cross-pollinate these connected worlds as she begins to develop a narrative experience that explores reconstruction as a physiological and sociological act.
This event is part of a collaboration between the Target Studio for Creative Collaboration and the UMN Medical School.
