PRUNE NOURRY | French artist Prune Nourry impregnates her work with social and ethical issues. Through the clever use of medical apparatus, scientific tools, and laboratory equipment, she delivers accessible, thought-provoking messages about bioethics and human reproduction. In 2011, she erected The Spermbar, a vending cart on 5th Avenue that discharged concoctions consisting of hand-selected ingredients that indicated genetics traits for the perfect child. Here, like a specimen, she sits among her tools in her lab, magnified for inspection and analysis.
