The Artist's Body in the Age of Genomic Reproduction. Translation into Russian

As soon as the reprogramming of human cell material became the state of the art, artists made use of this possibility, investigating its implications for humankind. And as biological substances such as blood, flesh, and DNA found their way into the art context, they caused unprecedented problems, demanding unconventional conservation approaches as well as innovative handling toward their care and preservation within the white cube. The British artist Marc Quinn and the French performance artist ORLAN’s collaborations with the Tissue Culture & Art Project in some ways exemplify this material turn in art, and raise ethical, legal, as well as conservational questions through their art production.
