We were pleased to be asked to exhibit some of our class demonstrations and lecture diagrams at the International Museum of Surgical Science in a show titled “Notes on Life” – Visual Lectures from the Vitruvian Fine Art Studio.

The show opened last week, and will remain on view until May 22nd, 2015. To read more, look up Medill Reports Chicago, a publication from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. Lucy Vernasco wrote a thoughtful piece about the show here.

What the heck is “White Charcoal”?

We were printing exhibition labels for the artwork, and the argument was about what to call a white pencil.
