This book is ideal for readers interested in contemporary art, cultural criticism, and the intersections of ethics and science in artistic expression. It will particularly appeal to those fascinated by avant-garde and performance art within the Norwegian and international art scenes.
Employing unconventional tools - including medical equipment, dead animals, cancer cells, and a deceased man's hand - he challenges both the relationship between science and ethics, and what art can morally embrace.
The first and official monograph dedicated to Morten Viskum, one of the most controversial contemporary artists in Norway.

Description
With a series of controversial projects, Morten Viskum (b. 1965) has established himself as the artist Norway's cultural media likes to discuss most. Through his performative works, he has shed light on a fear of the ephemeral and the strange that pervades our culture.
Employing unconventional tools—including medical equipment, dead animals, cancer cells, and a deceased man's hand—he challenges both the relationship between science and ethics, and what art can morally embrace.
Viskum works with installation, performance, photography, and painting, and has been represented at various exhibitions nationally and internationally.
