| Human caviar
Check it out yourself before reading the review from utne.com below. http://www.chrissycaviar.com/ccaviar/
utne.com reports:
"Artist Chrissy Conant used her ovaries as a medium to create high-tech art, and the result is Chrissy Caviar. With a little help from an embryologist and an endocrinologist, Conant has packaged her embryos in glass jars and labeled them for sale. She even came up with a marketing campaign complete with deli-style display cases, promotional floaty pens, and "Making Chrissy Caviar," the DVD. She mocks consumer's desires for luxury items and jokes that she hopes that her product will pass Beluga caviar as the current ultimate in luxury. Her exibit will be displayed at New York's Stefan Stux Gallery through January 4th, 2003."
Thoughts? Reactions?

{snip} | One thing. From her website--it is clear that she is putting her eggs in the jars, and not embryos.
Big difference.

| speaking of packaging...
This thread immediately brought to mind: Myths and meanings in Manzoni's 'Merda d'artista.' - Piero Manzoni
Manzoni must've been an influence...
FYI: scatalogical references on that site...
