Description:... Contemporary artists have, during recent years, shown great interest in, and sensitivity to, the vast developments in the fields of biotechnology. With sculptures, installations, photographs, videos, and more by 17 internationally known artists, Under Your Skin traces the transformations, manipulations, and constructions realized by artists during the 1990s using the same techniques and methods employed in modern biology and genetics.
