Artist Koen Vanmechelen's Cosmopolitan Chicken Project, aims for a hybridized breed of chicken that is not focused on notions of specific purity or nationality. An unusual goal, which runs counter to most breeding projects. While he often exhibits digital and sculptural elements of this project, the live chickens are currently being exhibited in the flesh at the Centraal Musuem in Utrect in the exhibition Genesis, which also includes the installation Nature?, by Marta de Menezes, in which the genetics of butterflies are manipulated in order to express new patterns in the wings (more).
