From the April 11, 2011 news item on Nanowerk,
The German Center for Research and Innovation (GCRI), in cooperation with the Consortium of the Ruhr Universities (ConRuhr) and the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen (CeNIDE), is proud to announce the opening of the NanoArt New York exhibition. The opening reception will take place on Wednesday, April 13, at 8:00 p.m., at the German House New York (871 United Nations Plaza, First Avenue, btw. 48th & 49th Streets), where the exhibition can be viewed during office hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 5:00 p.m., until June10. Nanoart is a new discipline where science and technology meet art. The NanoArt exhibition features art taken directly from the labs of German research institutions and brings it to the gallery. The 50 images on display show the ways in which materials have completely different and widely variable properties on the nano scale, where one nanometer equals one billionth of a meter. A kaleidoscope of textures and colors, NanoArt New York brings order and chaos, mountains and valleys, the heavens and hedgehogs, all invisible to the naked eye to life – in liquid, solid, luminescent, multi-colored atom arrangements and patterns.
