New Projects
As a means to capture the attention and imagination of museum visitors of all
ages, our first traveling exhibit focuses on our treasured coffee, tea, chocolate,
and soda: commodities that are all biological in nature, and which epitomize
the model of adaptive dispersal. Bringing together scientists, historians, designers,
and artists, with the corporate world of commodities and advertising, Syncreta
Associates is developing a scientifically accurate, culturally-rich, art-charged,
interactive natural history exhibit, Cafétura,
the epic journey of caffeine, that will travel to museums, botanical gardens,
and science centers. Designed by Buster O'Connor and Lee Seabrook, Cafétura is
expected to open as early as 2008. Please visit http://www.cafetura.com for more
information about this exhibit.
New Associates
Syncreta Associates is proud to announce three new Art Associates; Robert Barber, Mark Hallett, and Ed Heck.
Within the museum milieu, Rob Barber is best known for his Tertiary murals which hang in the Introduction Gallery to the Vertebrate Halls of the American Museum of Natural History. Rob's true passion however, lies in interpreting on canvas the landscapes and natural forms of which he finds a plethora around his home in Maryland. We invite you to visit his profile and learn more about Rob and his talents.
For many paleo-enthusiasts, Mark Hallett is a household name. Mark's work is on exhibit in many museums nationwide, and included in numerous publications. Mark, both comparative anatomist and artist, has dedicated himself to accurately reconstructing long-extinct animals from sometimes scant few fossils. Although Mark is best known for his dinosaur reconstructions, Mark's work includes countless other vertebrates, including the human form. Please visit Mark's profile for more information.
Ed Heck, now known all over NYC for his popular art, is also an accomplished natural history artist. Once an illustrator for the Paleontology Department at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), his scientific illustrations are on exhibit in the fossil halls at the AMNH, Amherst College Museum, among others, and have been published in numerous scientific and popular publications, including the New York Science Times. Ed's unique perspective and talent led to his most recent reincarnation as a fine art humorist, and author and illustrator of children's books. Take a peek into Ed Heck's world on his profile page.
