BioSCIART
This interdisciplinary research area investigates the interface
between bioscience and the arts. Building on collaborations
with Cardiff School of Bioscience, Guy’s/KCL, and the
Waag Centre for Culture and Technology. The projects included
in this area have had major support from The Wellcome Trust,
The Arts & Humanities Research Council, The Arts Council
of Wales and The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, to explore,
research, develop, exhibit, tour and publish a series of artists
interventions into normally closed and exclusive spaces such
as the Dissecting Room, the Anatomical Museum, the Hospital
Operating Theatre, and the Medical Research Laboratory. The
research is being led by Karen Ingham (the 2005/6 AHRC Sciart
Research Fellow at Cardiff School of Biosciences), exploring
the links between brain dysfunction, memory, and plant pharmaceuticals.
Outputs include ‘Death’s
Witness’ (Ffotogallery 2000), ‘Anatomy
Lessons’ (Dewi Lewis Publishing 2004), ‘Vanitas’ in ‘Stilled’ (IRIS/Ffotogallery
2006). For the publication Seeds of Memory:art, neuroscience
