Antennae on Botched Taxidermy

DateWednesday, September 24, 2008 at 05:41PM | CommentPost a Comment | |

Antennae: The Journal of Nature in Visual Culture's latest issue on Botched Taxidermy, a term coined by Steve Baker in The Postmodern Animal.  From Baker's introduction to the concept of botched taxidermy, the issue explores the work of a number of contemporary artists who incorporate animals in their work with an unconventional aesthetic.  Interviewed artists include Angela Singer, Emily Mayer, Thomas Grunfeld, and the Idiots, a Dutch trio of artists who are introduced by ravishingbeasts.
