Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural

The James A. Michener Art Museum is pleased to present Judith Schaechter: Super/Natural on view in our Beans Gallery from April 12 – September 14, 2025. This will be the first public exhibition of glass artist Judith Schaechter’s newest, monumental work: an immersive stained glass dome, also titled Super/Natural, that explores the idea of biophilia, the human tendency to connect with nature. Schaechter is creating this piece as an Artist in Residence at the Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics, where a pioneering team of researchers and scientists explore the neural and biological basis of aesthetic experiences. Their research, and Schaechter’s recent work, explores relationships between art, beauty, morality and the brain.
