Tara
Krause is an artist-scientist and filmmaker, who seeks to forge
a new vision of abstract expressionist gesture fused with Baroque craft
to express the primal while exploring the emerging frontiers of
complexity science, neuroscience, cognition and perception. Over
the last five years, she has been collaborating with an international
team of scientists, musicians and composers on the aesthetics and
discoveries of the computational universe. Her work deals with
themes of women, war, human rights and science. Atelier trained,
she studied in New York at the Art Students League and graduated from
West Point and NYU. She is a veteran of the nuclear Cold War and
first Gulf War.
Her eight-part human rights video series, Women Hold Up The Sky, premiered
at the United Nations in a collaborative project with human rights
groups and filmmakers in Zanzibar, Argentina, New York and in
Senegal with the late great Ousmane Sembene. In 2007, she
was commissioned by Academy Women to create and present a series of
sculptures, Woman Soar: Porcelain on Steel, to
the families of service academy women graduates fallen in the current
wars at the Women's Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
In 2004, she was selected for the Wolfram Research Summer Institute at
Brown University and conducted pure science and art experiments on the
totalistic Rule 1599 cellular automaton, the results of which were
published in a 2006 special issue of Journal of Cellular Automata on Modelling Complex Systems Using Cellular Automata .
She was invited to participate in the First International
Conference of A New Kind of Science (NKS2003) and presented a series of
three solar plate etchings and a video, Cellular Automata, Undulating Jellies and Pulsing Bonita: A New Kind of Science & Art.
Her paintings and etchings are in private and
corporate collections. She has won fellowships from private
donors as well as foundation and government grants. Currently
based in the Meadowlands Wilderness of Harrison, NJ, she is represented by Sheryl Young Ltd. in the UK.
