D. Wayne Woolley, 1963
Woolley, Dilworth Wayne (1914-1966) was a Canadian-born American biochemist, who did important work on vitamin deficiency and was one of the first to study the role of serotonin in brain chemistry.
Woolley spent much of his career at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City. His major work focused on serotonin in brain chemistry: how substances such as LSD might affect the action of serotonin, how disorders of serotonin function might be responsible for mental disorders, and how serotonin might play a part in memory and learning. Though his career was shorter-lived than expected, subsequent work by others has developed many of Woolley\u27s hypotheses in productive directions. One of his assistants, Robert Bruce Merrifield, won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1984, for work on peptide synthesis they did together in the 1950s. In 1940 and in 1948, Woolley received Eli Lilly Awards from the American Chemical Society, for his research. In 1952 he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences. He served as president of the Institute of Nutrition in 1959. Woolley was an author on over 200 research papers and book articles in his thirty-year career. Books by Woolley included A Study of Antimetabolites (1952), and The Biochemical Bases of Psychoses (1962).

Visions of Liberty, Rooms With Views. Squaring The Circle: Harriet Hale Woolley, Past & Present
Cet article est un compte rendu analytique d’une exposition qui a eu lieu à la Fondation des États-Unis du 6 juin au 31 juillet 2018 intitulée « Squaring The Circle: Harriet Hale Woolley, Past & Present » et qui a rassemblé quatorze lauréats en arts plastiques de la bourse Harriet Hale Woolley. L’exposition interroge à la fois l’histoire de la bourse et son importance pour les artistes états-unien.nne.s qui ont étudié à Paris, et ce que cela signifie d’être un.e artiste expatrié.e en France. L’article prend le pouls d’une communauté singulière réunie par ses œuvres et s’interroge sur l’expérience commune et le dialogue qui surgit du travail de chacun.e, et qui les lie.This article is a critical response to an exhibition held at the Fondation des États-Unis (Cité internationale Universitaire) from June 6th to July 31st 2018 entitled “Squaring The Circle: Harriet Hale Woolley, Past & Present”, which gathered together fourteen past recipients of the Harriet Hale Woolley scholarships in the visual arts. The exhibition focused on the history of the grant and its importance to American artists studying in Paris, as well as what it means to be an American artist living abroad in France. This article takes the pulse of a particular community of artists who are reunited through their work in the exhibition and reflects on their common experience and the dialogue that emerges from their work, and joins them together

Wild oats group exhibition
Wild Oats brings together a group of artists who use food and the rituals of eating to comment on contemporary life, gender stereotypes and commodity culture. (curated by Dawn Woolley). Miina Hujala’s film Illallinen (The Dinner) explores the complex identification and idealization processes that take place during courtship. In the film the couple create an ideal, romantic occasion but they construct images of themselves that they believe the other wants to see – communicating a wish to be the object of the other’s desire. In Prise d’assault (Under Assault) Noemi McComber addresses issues of overconsumption, and the handling of waste while depicting unrestrained violence. The performance becomes a “…humiliating trial of judgment and soft stoning by way of food…[a] painful tar and feather-like ordeal, as if under siege by an angry mob of tots laying waste to an over-stocked kitchen.” Stephanie Bertrand (Author and Curator). Dawn Woolley’s photographs and sculptures reflect contemporary attitudes to consumerism and the commodification of human relationships through the consumption of food. The resulting still life’s comment on the gender distinctions upheld through commodity culture and the rituals of food consumption. Surreal Summer Fete is a performance by Ellen Sampson and Dawn Woolley in which they serve a variety of small edible sculptures to the (mostly unwilling) public during the exhibition opening. With shapes, and textures derived from ideas of romance, desire and gender norms, the objects will offer a surreal take on everyday finger foods. A food sculpture workshop took place within the exhibition as part of Diffusion International Photography Festival and Made in Roath Community Art Festival
