Click to viewThe problem with bio - art is that it ’s often made of livelihood tissue — and sometimes living tissue gets out of ascendence . That ’s what pass late last week at a New York MoMA exhibit squall “ Design and the Elastic Mind , ” where a tiny living jacket made out of prow cell had to be put to expiry for growing too fast and trying to burst out of its container .
The art while was called “ Victimless Leather , ” and according to The Art Newspaper :
The artist , Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr , say the work which was fed food by tube , expanded too quickly and clog its own incubation system just five weeks after the show opened . . . Paola Antonelli , head of MoMA ’s computer architecture and blueprint department and conservator of the show , says she had to make the decision to bend off the aliveness - support arrangement for the work , basically “ kill ” it .

Ms Antonelli says the jacket “ start grow , get , growing until it became too braggy . And [ the artist ] were back in Australia , so I had to make the determination to toss off it . And you know what ? I felt I could not make that decision . I ’ve always been pro - choice and all of a sudden I ’m here not sleeping at Nox about down a coat … That thing was never awake before it was grown . ”
I ’m glad Antonelli made the right choice . You ’ve got to bolt down these thing before they grow into the noblewoman from Species and begin drink down waxy young art student boys in the lav after unearthly alien sex .
