One evening in October 1995, the BBC aired striking footage of a nude mouse with a human ear growing on its back. This evocative living object became one of the defining images of the late twentieth century, a symbol of our increasing capacity to shape and alter living bodies.

DeMonstrable is collaborative exhibition at the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, University of Western Australia - curated by SymbioticA Director Oron Catts with Associate Professor Jennifer Johung and Associate Professor Elizabeth Stephens.
