Casting a Cool Eye on Cryonics: ‘Sometimes art, like hitting, is all in the timing.

A case in point is “Dying Is Not Good for You,” a exhibition of photographs by a British artist, Jason Oddy, which opened last night at the Frederieke Taylor gallery in Chelsea.

What makes this exhibition topical is its subject: an inside look at two of the nation’s cryonic centers, one of which, the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., now holds the body of the Hall of Fame hitter Ted Williams, who died last week at 83.

That development, and a family battle over the handling of Williams’s remains, has suddenly given front-page status to cryonics, whose proponents advocate deep-freezing the dead in the hopes that medical advances will make it possible to resurrect them.’ NY Times
