Hi Helen,
Thank you,
When I was in hospital for over two weeks, depressed because bogged down with
what was yet another symptom caused by the cancer treatment, getting an early
copy of the book pulled my through the bleakness of it all and cheered me up.
In fact, I read it twice. Please get yourself a copy if you can, because you'll
enjoy it's dedication to art and life and attention to critical contexts.
Wishing you well
Marc

>> Mary Shelley’s classic gothic horror and science fiction novel Frankenstein;
>> or, The Modern Prometheus has inspired millions since it was published in
>> 1818. Today, we are witness to many different horrors and phantoms of our
>> own creation. Chronic wealth and health inequalities, climate change,
>> democratic collapse, and the spectre of the nuclear apocalypse are among the
>> diffuse, monstrous products of our “advanced” technological moment.
>> Frankenstein Reanimated presents a dynamic collection of artworks, essays,
>> and conversations, addressing surveillance, biohacking, viruses,
>> colonialism, digital culture, and more. It retraces and contextualises three
>> international art exhibitions exploring themes within Frankenstein, and
>> speculates on what Mary Shelley would think about the world today.
>> Collectively, the book offers a lens through which to look at our current
>> situation, and how art practices shape, and are shaped by, contemporary
>> society.

>> Endorsements:
