-The bio-art installation ‘Cabinet #004: Future Archaeology (//The Temporal Duration Through Which The Future Is Founded In The Present//shows collection of rarities. Every artifact is the outcome of a particular experiment. The objects are presented on large laboratory tables with a translucent top. The bizarre biomorphic artefacts add a specific rhythm to the installation, but they stand in stark contrast to the strict geometry of the laboratory architecture: hard and soft oppose each other. The installation is completed by a multi-layered hanging artwork grown by bacteria, and two large-scale lightboxes with B/W micrographs. The room is bathing in pink light. +Bioart projects blur boundaries between art and modern biology with an emphasis on philosophical, societal, and environmental issues. As a contemporary art form, it adapts scientific methods and biotechnology to explore living systems as artistic subjects. Bioart plays an important role in critically challenging emerging life science applications, stimulating of scientific thinking, and contributing to new research questions and new technologies.

Bioart plays an important role in critically challenging emerging life science applications, stimulating of scientific thinking, and contributing to new research questions and new technologies. +In the bio-art installation ‘Cabinet #004: Future Archaeology (The Temporal Duration Through Which The Future Is Founded In The Present) AnneMarie Maes presents Cabinet of Curiosities, a Wunderkammer. She appropriates archaeological and other scientific methods of collecting and ordering for the presentation of the artefacts. Every object is the outcome of a particular experiment set up in the laboratory of the artist. The objects are presented on large laboratory tables with a translucent top. The bizarre biomorphic artefacts add a specific rhythm to the installation, but they stand in stark contrast to the strict geometry of the laboratory architecture: hard and soft oppose each other.

 The Golden Beehive is a sculpture made from the wax that the bees constructed in the frames of the Transparent Beehive. After an attack by the waxmot, the nest was destroyed and the bees left the hive. I cleaned the reaining wax and created the Golden Beehive, a sculpture that is a visual elegy for the bee colony of the Transparent Beehive. The Golden Beehive is a sculpture made from the wax that the bees constructed in the frames of the Transparent Beehive.
