The Post Natural History project Post this encyclopedic boards near future, between memory and projection, where different living species are modified to meet changing environments and new desires of man. At the beginning of XXI century the genetic modification has taken two new paths. On the one hand, synthetic biology, which combines genetic engineering and, secondly, the reprogramming of stem cells leads to the production of new cells, new fabrics and new bodies.
Living species from synthetic biology, integrating new DNA fragments and artificial elements (eg metal or electronics), have new properties to better adapt to new environments (and accompanying events as drought stress, disease, predators) due to climate change. Living organisms whose cells have been genetically manipulated strains show new opportunities or performance properties: better acuity or vision, increased breathing capacity, longer life expectancy …
Also, these neo-beings have characteristics to better adapt to different environments, new scalable. Post Natural History archives report on these two lines of research pioneered by the very creation of these bodies, synthetics, improved or increased.
Exhibited at the Ravestijn Gallery in Amsterdam and the Fondation EDF in Paris, Post Natural History is also a book published by Be-Pôles with 20 small-format prints from the complete series, on display exclusively at the gallery Acte 2 Rive Gauche. Vincent Fournier’s series Brasilia is being exhibited at the Bon Marché. The series explores the different aspects of the country, from fashion and design to art and cuisine. BRASILIA In the news Vincent Fournier also his series Brasilia is exposed to Bon Marché, which puts Brazil in the spotlight in a major exhibition exploring its facets: fashion, art, design, food …
