This innovative volume is the first to address the conservation of contemporary art incorporating biological materials such as plants, foods, bodily fluids, or genetically engineered organisms. Eggshells, flowers, onion peels, sponge cake, dried bread, breast milk, bacteria, living organisms—these are just a few of the biological materials that contemporary artists are using to make art. But how can works made from such perishable ingredients be preserved? And what logistical, ethical, and conceptual dilemmas might be posed by doing so? Because they are prone to rapid decay, even complete disappearance, biological materials used in art pose a range of unique conservation challenges. This g...

The original new age nudist movement in Switzerland.
This retrospective is based on the Mexican art collective movement "Grupo Proceso Pentágono", which emerged in the late 1960's and was characterized by artistic experimentation and social critique. Some of the artists who participated in this movement, and whose work makes up this exhibition are Felipe Ehrenberg, Carlos Finck, José Antonio Hernández Amezcua, Víctor Muñoz, Carlos Aguirre, Miguel Ehrenberg, Lourdes Grobet, Rowena Morales and Rafael Doniz. This book represents "the first comprehensive exhibition of the production and archive of a collective that was characterized by maintaining a critical, analytical and argumentative stance in the face of State policy. Through the interweaving of documentary material and artistic works that form part of the museographer proposition, the exhibition accounts for more than 32 pieces created between 1969 and 2015. It is a record of the working process that characterized the dynamic of the Grupo, and examines the legacies of conceptual art in the artistic practices of our country, practices that restored the relationship of exchange and collaboration with Latin American artists, between the seventies and eighties."--Page 4 of cover.
