Chrissy Conant

[5] Her artworks include the following: Conant researched the harvesting of fish eggs for caviar, and the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

[1] An installation of the Chrissy Caviar project, including the video and a deli case containing the bottled eggs, debuted at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in May 2002.

[1] Chrissy Caviar has been shown at a number of exhibitions, including Molecules that Matter at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in 2008, where Conant gave a guest lecture entitled "An Artist Hijacks the Biochemistry of Life".

[6] The exhibit has been considered thought-provoking BioArt, "encouraging viewers to think about bigger issues surrounding the ethical limits of art and the use of reproductive technologies".

[7][8][9] Conant has said that she hoped the work would provoke strong reactions, and wanted to spur discussion of women's conflicts about child-bearing, particularly as they get older.

Described as a "three-part sculptural project", she incorporated the U.S. Department of Homeland Security terms for levels of threat, "severe," "high," "elevated," "guarded," and "low" to make colorful chokers, blankets, and wall hangings.

[17][18] Every Kept Book I Have Read is a text-based sculpture, incorporating vinyl, cement, goat leather, paper, board, and gold.
