The Emergence catalog is a self-published ten-volume collection based on the exhibition Emergence, which was on view at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center in Los Angeles as part of Getty’s 2024 PST ART: Art & Science Collide. Approaching synthetic biology through an artistic lens, Emergence unsettled understandings of life, consciousness, and the boundary between natural and synthetic. It was unique among PST ART exhibitions in presenting living biological artworks and projects created by or in collaboration with synthetic biologists and medical researchers.
The catalog is edited by Dr. Yewande Pearse, director of science editorial and content for Emergence, and Stacy Switzer, curator and executive director of Fathomers. It consists of one volume for each of the nine projects in the show, and a tenth volume that connects threads from across the exhibition, with essays by Pearse and Switzer as well as Claire L. Evans, Hideo Iwasaki, Dan Samorodnitsky, and others. Comprising photographs, essays, interviews, poetry, peer-reviewed research papers, and a range of other media, the volumes not only serve as archives of the individual projects but also provide a more expansive exploration of the ideas that inspired them. The catalog was designed by Stephanie Lane Gage and Zhen Lu of Saturated Grey, with digital printing by El Sereno Graphics and risograph printing by Martian Press, all in Los Angeles.
