Na wystawie w CSW Łaźnia Oron Catts i Ionat Zurr zaprezentują swoje klasyczne dzieła, jak Victimless Leather, The Semi-Living Worry Dolls, czy The Pig Wings Project oraz nowy, przygotowany specjalnie na wystawę w Gdańsku Crude Substrate. Przedstawiona zostanie również dokumentacja z niezwykłego performensu wykonanego w Berlinie w 2005 roku pod tytułem The Remains of a Disembodied Cuisine, w którym artyści i publiczność ucztowali przy kotletach uformowanych z tkanki mięśniowej wyhodowanej z komórek macierzystych nieżyjącej od kilku lat owcy. Wystawa Orona Cattsa i Ionat Zurr stawia szczególnie aktualne pytania dotyczące bioetyki, inżynierii genetycznej i biotechnologii. Artyści zwracają uwagę z jednej strony na olbrzymie możliwości współczesnej nauki, ale jednocześnie ujawniają nieświadome uprzedzenia i tabu, jakie w sobie nosimy w obliczu zagadnień związanych z samą istotą życia i operacjami technologicznymi dokonywanymi na materii organicznej. // Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr present in CCA Laznia their classic artworks including Victimless Leather, Semi-Living Worry Dolls, Pig Wings Project along with a new work - Crude Substrate - conceived especially for the Gdansk exhibition. The show also feature a documentation of the unique performance Remains of a Disembodied Cuisine (Berlin 2005), during which the artists and members of the audience feasted on meat made of muscle tissue incubated from stem cells of a sheep that had died several years prior to the event. The exhibition of Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr raises particularly important questions about bio-ethics, genetic engineering and bio-technology. On the one hand artists focus on the huge possibilities of modern science, on the other hand they reveal our unconscious prejudices and taboo disclosing when we are confronted with issues of life and technological operations performed on the organic matter.
