Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt: HyperPrometheus offers us the opportunity to re-contextualise Frankenstein for the new millennium within the realms of contemporary and biological arts. The nineteen artists carefully selected by curators Eugenio Viola, Laetitia Wilson and Oron Catts for inclusion in this exhibition are to some extent engaging in, analysing or critiquing Frankensteinian behaviour. Monsters and monstrous creatures abound, in works that test our understanding of what it is to be human, living, natural, functional, valid or valued. - Amy Barrett-Lennard, Director of PICA
Unhallowed Arts contributes to the legacy of Frankenstein and considers developments in the sciences of the twenty-first century through an eclectic array of visual, performative, and written responses.
