Richard Pell talks about European Organisms of the Center for PostNatural History

This exhibit from the collection of the Center for PostNatural History features organisms deliberately altered by humans. Each of these organisms was modified and selected by an individual or institution for a specific purpose. This work asks us to examine the specimens and reflect on the natural, evolutionary history as well as a PostNatural, cultural history, of each organism on display. Collectively these organisms begin to map out the ways that human needs and desires are inscribed on the genetic diversity of the planet Earth.  Ricard Pell, the artist behind the piece, explains it to us in this interview.
