<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;" class=""><i class="">Baroque Biology</i> presents a feminist science-fiction where biotechnology manifests interspecies collaboration, reproduction, theatre and storytelling as a means to re-imagine our shared biotech
future. The exhibition presents a series of imaginary biotechnological vignettes including digital images, performative sculptures, and living cultures; where non-human organisms interact with humans in an effort to convey information about complex biological
processes. The artist reimagines laboratory aesthetics as feminine, gaudy, and fantastical in direct contradiction to the norms of contemporary laboratory design. The artworks are counterintuitive, imagining biotechnology research as an integrated part of
our planetary ecology and everyday life. Like fairy tales for a biotech future, each allegory focuses on a mammal, microbe, plant, or insect, that attempts to communicate with humans in a helpful manner about the biological processes they employ for survival,
reproduction, or aesthetic pleasure. <i class="">Baroque Biology</i> critiques institutional hierarchies by encouraging unconventional daydreaming and welcoming new models of participation in the laboratory.</span><br class="">
