Dialogues on “Bioart” #1. A conversation with Jens Hauser

Daniela Silvestrin
In the series Dialogues on “Bioart”, I will speak about these and other issues with curators, artists, cultural workers and other professionals who deal with "Bioart" in different ways and have been working in this field for a number of years. Through these interviews, I not only want to present them and their work, but also to shed light on their various viewpoints on, and relevant experiences with, the issues being addressed in the so-called "Bioart", in order to bring all this into line with the larger context of the analysis of what "Bioart" as well as the connected issues and questions, actually are...

William Kentridge: I am not me, the horse is not mine. The Tank / Tate Modern

Redazione Digicult
William Kentridge’s eight-channel video installation I am not me, the horse is not mine will be showcased in the UK for the first time in the Tanks at Tate Modern.
