He’s not entirely wrong – we’re standing in front of one of Patricia Piccinini’s most renowned works, The Young Family (2002), which depicts a sculpted dog-human hybrid creature, as her young … Continue reading Reprogramming the anthropocene: Patricia Piccinini’s ‘We Are Connected’ at ArtScience Museum
