CURATOR: New gallery exhibits from May 4-10

"Organon" at Rebekah Templeton

In another group show opening this month, Alana Bograd, Colin Keefe and Sarah Laing express connections with biology on a more microscopic level. Drawings by all three artists explore the biology of what is around us — and the term “biology” is loosely defined enough for the interpretations to be quite varied.

In “Organon” — the title refers to “a set of tools that support the process of investigation” — we get pen-and-ink drawings of cities by Colin Keefe, Bograd's Biophilia, a series on the human form, and Laing exploring “the struggle of existence via images of geological masses.” Keefe’s drawings offer up the striking similarities between an aerial view of an urban-planning map and the growth of cells in a petri dish. Laing’s drawings are mind-blowingly fractoidal, and Bograd’s works are delightfully trippy, looking like an Edvard Munch painting collided with a cross-section of a plant stem.

Through May 26, free, Rebekah Templeton, 173 W. Girard Ave., 267-519-3884, rebekahtempleton.com
