“It’s fair to say that this exhibition completely broke my imagination. I never thought that the viscera and art could be connected in this way…” Just finished the art exhibition “Follow The Guts” at 798 Art Museum Ms. Sun, who was very satisfied with the exhibition experience in the last minutes.
The art exhibit, sponsored by Novozymes OneHealth, opened Oct. 1. Today is the 7th day of the opening. There is still an hour before the museum closes, and there is still a steady stream of tourists.
In fact, there are quite a few exhibitors like Ms. Sun who came with curiosity and left with a sense of surprise. On popular social platforms such as Redbook, Weibo, TikTok, etc., there are also many posts after seeing the exhibition, including many compliments about the details, works and creativity of the exhibition. On the one hand, this real popularity confirms the professional curatorial ability of Novozyme’s OneHealth, on the other hand, it also shows that people’s aesthetic power, appreciation of art and concern for life and health are constantly increasing.
This exhibition is a joint effort between Novozymes OneHealth and the renowned domestic expert institute for gut health and evidence-based nutrition – R·lab. With a mission to “enable people to have a healthier gut,” R·lab serves the Chinese gut industry and provides more accurate knowledge about the gut. At the same time, it has brought together hundreds of scientific research institutions, hospitals, and companies across the country to collaborate on this popular science illustration tour in an attempt to use the cross-border connection between science and art to unleash a new wave of popular science advocacy.
The success of this exhibition is also inextricably linked to the strong support of the Danish Cultural Center. As Denmark’s official cultural and artistic exchange platform in China, the Danish Cultural Center is dedicated to promoting cooperation and exchange between Danish companies and institutions and China. Focusing on creativity, learning and innovation, its cultural and human values aim to vigorously promote cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between Danish and Chinese partners, and jointly advance the development of the arts.
Novozymes is a world-leading biotech powerhouse, One of its key missions is helping people live healthier and better lives by rethinking human health and finding the probiotics and enzymes that may solve challenges related to modern lifestyles.
In fact, studying the relationship between digestion, disease, and mental health has long been a research interest and an important topic for scientists, physicians, and nutritionists. Throughout history, people have tried to discover the connection between “brain” and “gut” in daily life. They have tried to connect “brain and gut” by changing diet, regulating sleep, increasing exercise, taking supplements, and taking enzymes.
Since intestinal health has increasingly become an innovative highland in the fields of life sciences and general health, it has also attracted more public attention. This exhibition presents the scientific research results and experience points accumulated in the past in the field of intestine in an artistic form. There are no obscure technical terms, no boring writings, but a very flexible form, the images, three-dimensional and diverse health education has made up for the lack of daily intestinal health education, allowing more people to realise the connection between the intestine, flora and brain.
Protecting a healthier and better life is the unchanging sentiment and mission of Novozymes OneHealth.
