Genetic Silence
living art museum/ reykjavik
gallery installation and city tour
2001
Public intervention and installation at the Living Art Museum in Reykjavik for the project Polyphony. A bus tour -’genetic noise tour’- was organised connecting the gallery with the high security genetic labs in the suburbs of Reykjavik. The tour was done in a VW van, with the tech crew streaming the sound and images to the museum. The accompanying wall catalogue and public newspaper boards showed an archive of the links between art, genetics and architecture. The word ‘art’ -privatised by a genetics research company- was ‘corrected’ in all the museum signage with the corresponding patent number.
The project “Anxiety of Contamination’ was published by msdm.
