A Laboratory for a Studio: School of Visual Arts

​Residing in the School of Visual Arts (New York, New York) is one of America’s only science laboratories created for express use by artists. The NATLab (Nature & Technology Lab)* was conceived of and founded by bioartist and chair of the Fine Arts Department at SVA, Suzanne Anker. The NATLab serves as a studio space for students throughout the year, and holds a residency program over the summer, offering state-of-the-art scientific equipment including microscope enabled cameras and video cameras, an herbarium, a skeleton collection, a large specimen collection, multiple aquariums and a science/art library. Students manipulate anything from slime mold to brain slides to see-through amphibian specimens, starting with the scientific method from which, with some creative intervention, emerges a work of art. 

*the NATLAb was renamed and is now known as the BioArt Lab.
