Abstract

This review raises a reflection around the exhibition Strange Things. Bioart in Argentina, held between April 13 and May 18, 2019 at the Art Center UNLP. This exhibition brings together eleven argentinian artworks which connect art to biology and technology. They are part of a field known as bioart, which draws on experiences from both the technical-scientific world and the artistic-humanistic one. In general, the exhibited works address different concepts such as: matter, form, time and space.
