SURGE III
March 14 - 28, 2024
SURGE III is the third installment of UAL's Post-Grad Community and UCL's WEISS Centre collaborative programme that brings together scientists, artists and the public to explore the complexities and application of technology in surgery.
Over the past 8 months, three partnerships have been commissioned to work with patient groups to explore the role and implications of technological healthcare, through art and design. SURGE III features three fascinating projects combining patient experiences and medical research with original artwork across performance, painting, sound, and print.
- Katy Emily Kelly (MA Fine Art: Painting, Camberwell College of Arts) and Robert Stafford Williams (PhD in Medical Physics, UCL WEISS)
- Natalia Mesa (MA Art and Science, Central Saint Martins) and Morenike Magbagbeola (PhD scientist and researcher in Adaptive Sensory Robotics, UCL WEISS)
- Sarah Dixon (MA Performance: Society, Central Saint Martins) and Ryman Hashem (Senior Research Fellow in Medical Robotics, UCL WEISS).
Belongings
March 14 - April 4, 2024
Belongings celebrates the contribution of migrants and refugees to British culture. Here we show work made by refugee artists and makers who have attended the College over the last century alongside new work by staff, students and recent graduates with migration in their family history. Together they advance a new experiential understanding of what it means to 'belong' in the contest of global migration and illustrate the lasting value of the cultural contributions made by those who have moved to the UK.
Belongings has been co-created by Susan Aldworth, Sara David, Natalia Mesa Echavarria, Sarah-Jane Field, Silvina Maestro, Julia Shutkevych, Michaelle St Vincent and Judy Willcocks with support from CSM's Creativity in Action Fund.
Membranes (Workshop)
March 1 - April 7
The works in this exhibition explore the body as multiple: as atomic, molecular, cellular, organism, relational, community, ecosystem and as biogeochemical entities. The fact that bodies interact and exchange materials across interfaces or membranes that are more or less perceptible depending on whether you perceive them on the micro or macro scale is what threads these works together. Membranes is the word we use to denote the site at which bio-geo-chemical exchange occurs between entities and environments. The works exhibited seek to understand this as an index to our entanglements with each other and ecosystems.
