Item description from seller

Art meets science -- and engages the recent controversies of science studies -- in work by contemporary artists Mark Dion, Gregory Green, Margaret Honda, and Andrea Zittel. Using scientific language, strategies and protocols, each of these projects focuses on a different area of exploration (natural science, nuclear physics, zoology, and genetic engineering), and investigates the influence, authority, and effects of science. David Wilson, Director of the Museum of Jurassic Technology, writes on the 17th century scholar, inventor, curator, and early progenitor of 'weird science', Athanasius Kircher; exhibition curator Irene Hofmann places these works into the context of each artist's career. Book has minor shelf wear. Book has dust particles on it. Corner is bent.
