Radioactive art on display at UA Museum of Art

Radiation powers nuclear reactors - and it is also art.

"Hot Art," an exhibit by Arizona State University art professor Lewis Alquist now showing at the UA Museum of Art, is literally "hot" - as in radioactive.

People should not start running from the museum or wearing lead underwear, though. The radioactivity is at a low enough level for it not to be harmful.

"The emissions are pretty low energy," Alquist said. "They don't even really penetrate the skin."
