Black Box at the Institute of Genetic Medicine

I'm very pleased to have been invited by artist and curator Louise Mackenzie to screen my Arts Council England funded video Visualisation of Beta Amyloid Growth, Cortical Slice as part of Black Box at the Institute of Genetic Medicine in Times Square, Newcastle upon Tyne. It will appear during Life Week, in a programme of moving image work that asks if and how life can be shaped, alongside work by artists Nipam Patel, White Feather Hunter, Louise Mackenzie, Cecelia Johnsson and Dr. Rodrigo Leite de Oliviera, Laura Harrington, Ursula Biemann, Vicky Smith and Louise Hervé and Cholé Maillet. I will also present Interrupt Cycle: Exhausting the Scenario during Intimacy Week, in a programme exploring the relationships between mind, body and society alongside work by Marissa Keating, Christine Borland, Marianne Wilde, Beverley Hood, Adura Onashile, Aleks Cicha, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Alexey Marfin, Daksha Patel, Lilian Mehrel, Stelarc, Viktoria Modesta and work from the Wellcome Trust collection.

Black Box is a joint project by The Cultural Negotiation of Science and the Institute of Genetic Medicine at Newcastle University. Opening the door on the inner workings of genetic research, Black Box is a curated programme of film works inspired by and expanding upon genetic themes. The programme showcases films by artists and researchers involved in a creative and critical engagement with the field of genetic medicine alongside films produced by scientists that provide insight into the research that takes place within the Institute.
