From the Boston Globe (a paper I write for):

Someday you’ll be able to buy live, genetically engineered pets off the shelf at Toys “R” Us . They’ll come in plastic containers like regular toys, and when you release them from their packaging, they’ll awaken from artificially induced states of hibernation and come fully to life.

That, at least, is the fantasy animating a work by sculptor Adam Brandejs included in “It’s Alive! A Laboratory of Biotech Art,” a thought-provoking but disappointing exhibition at Montserrat College of Art Gallery. Organized by gallery director Leonie Bradbury , the show presents works by six artists from Boston and five from other cities in the United States and Canada that respond to developments in biotechnology.
