“The extinction of old forms is the almost inevitable consequence of the production of new
forms.” Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

CALL FOR ENTRIES Darwin’s Bicentennial: Art, Science and the Origin of Species
Celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the
publication of The Origin of Species, through an exhibition to be shown at two sites this autumn
2008.

The Origin of Species fundamentally changed the way we view our selves and our world.
Charles Darwin’s research, methodology, queries, insights and theories, and his courageous
humility in presenting controversial ideas, dynamically advanced scientific knowledge, altered
cultural identity, and continues as a cornerstone for significant discoveries being made today in
modern science.
