What is DeMonstrable?
In October 1995, the BBC aired striking footage of a nude mouse with a human ear growing on its back. This vilified and celebrated living object became one of the defining images of the late twentieth century, a symbol of our increasing capacity to shape and alter living bodies.
Exhibiting now at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, DeMonstrable is an exhibition that commemorates, responds to, and reflects on the cultural and scientific impact of the Earmouse.
Curated by SymbioticA Director and globally renowned biological artist Oron Catts, with the aid of Dr. Jennifer Johung and Dr. Elizabeth Stephens, DeMonstrable is a confronting and challenging exhibition that examines the purpose, ethics and aesthetics behind biological modification.
DeMonstrable presented with the assistance of the Australia Council for the Arts and The Western Australian Department of Culture and the Arts.
DeMonstrable closes 05 December 2015
