This volume collects the controversial artist's work in which he uses unconventional tools--including medical equipment, dead animals, cancer cells, and a deceased man's hand--to challenge the relationship between science and ethics, and what art can morally embrace. He became internationally known in 1995, when he conducted his \"Rat\/olive project.\" In the course of two days, he replaced the content of 20 olive jars with newborn rats across 20 grocery stores in the five largest cities in Norway. Since then, he has been regarded as one of the most controversial contemporary artists in Norway. Through his performative works he has shed light on a fear of the ephemeral and the strange that pervades our culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Morten Viskum, Demetrio Paparoni, Tone Lyngstadd Nias\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8857228665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788857228662\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Skira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 9.80w x 1.50d","brand":"Morten Viskum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410803093759,"sku":"9788857228662","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f00b311a-6528-4806-bca3-c4fdf68852aa.jpg?v=1697537802","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/morten-viskum-morten-viskum-9788857228662","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
