Presently, in the Marie Louise Trichet Gallery are works which comprise the second of our three retrospectives to celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the gallery. Each of the artists have had a solo show in the gallery since it opened in April, 1994. In the upcoming weeks, we will feature on our blog one of the pieces in the show and a brief reflection by the artist who created it.
Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday 10 am - 4 pm. The present show will run until August 22, 2009.
At the Kathryn Walter Stein Chronic Pain Laboratory, NYU/Rusk Institute, Dr. Mathew Lee and his associates are investigating chronic pain and its assessment utilizing thermographic imaging.They work with both animate and inanimate subjects.
Dr. Lee says: "Pain patterns manifested on skin surface areas are measure and each temperature degree in an area is assigned a color. Prolonged chronic pain frequently causes capillary vasoconstriction leading to a decrease in circulation in the painful area and therefore cooling it.
"This methodology enhances the clinical management of chronic pain which has become a public health problem medically and economically."
