Dear Karen:

You may want to contact the Kunst-und Ausstellungshalle der Bundes Republik
Deutschland in Bonn.

They provide and are working on future exhibitions which combine the
sciences with the arts: bio-technology, global ecology, archaeology. Just
this past summer they had the inauguration of their new rooftop permanent
exhibition which is the transplant of endangered meadows in Germany which
consists of hundreds of varieties of grasses and flowers which are
maintained by a biologist/curator. Many of their exhibitions incorporate a
dialogue between contemporary artists and current scientific research.
