Genetic engineering, genome patents, transgenic food, bio-technology, bio-products and consumption of it in contemporary society, bio-diversity preservation, animal and plants species protection, only to mention a few of the topics which will be discussed upon during the Forum Discussion organized on the occasion of this apparently fragmented and disorienting exhibition.
Will there be then any difference between life and death
Genetic engineering, genome patents, transgenic food, bio-technology,
bio-products and consumption of it in contemporary society, bio-diversity
preservation, animal and plants species protection, only to mention a few of the
topics which will be discussed upon during the Forum Discussion organized on the
occasion of this apparently fragmented and disorienting
exhibition.....(.........).
Artists with a specific artistic attitude and operating between the much
discussed ethic-aesthetic boundaries in contemporary society, have been invited
to "demonstrate" in real terms and time their personal view on a number of
crucial life matters.
All of them motivated by the idea that conscious existence for humans is but a
fraction of a much more complex organic life, will disclose their usually hidden
"search" procedures to public, during a 5 week period of intense would-be
scintific work.
For this Forum Discussion, Scintists and Biologists from AMC Academisch Medisch
Centrum Amsterdam, will expose their individual research and will confront their
professionally "clear" field of perspectives with the random and less analytical
ones within which artists have always been carrying out their investigating
"research"....(..........)
Ron Miltenburg (Art critic and Art-historian) will moderate the Forum.
Invited Artists are:
Franco Angeloni - Merijn Bolink - Martin Uit den Bogaard - Micha Brendel - Wim
Delvoye
Damien Hirst - Erik Hobijn - Ruud Lanfermijer - Paul Perry - Martin Riebeek -
