The art exhibition where the pieces really do grow on you. Living tissue, blood cells, viruses - all are used in 'bio art', a genre celebrated in a major new show.
Next week at the Science Gallery in Dublin, an exhibition called Visceral opens, which covers a decade of work by one of bio art's leading institutions, SymbioticA. Based in the School of Anatomy and Human Biology at the University of Western Australia in Perth, SymbioticA - under its founders, Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr - has invited more than 70 artists from all over the world to undertake artistic research within their purpose-built laboratory. The results, as the title of the exhibition suggests, can be disturbing. Many people will be put off by the idea of live experiments in which segments of DNA, tissue cultures, cell lines, breast milk, viruses, neurons and so on are set to work for artistic purposes. http://tinyurl.com/6gz33x2 _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
